There is a War On Easter

MUSKEGON, Mich. – In our increasingly politically-correct society, Christmas isn’t the only holiday too hot to handle for school districts. Easter, another holiday rooted in Christian faith, is now being marginalized by governmental entities.

SpringegghuntSchool districts and cities across America are holding “Spring egg hunts” and similar events, frequently omitting the word “Easter” from calendars and public announcements. Consider these: On March 16th, Flat Rock Elementary School in Anderson, South Carolina is holding a “Community Egg Hunt.”
West Shore School District will be holding its “PTO Egg Hunt” on March 16th.
New York’s East Meadow Schools will be holding its “Spring Egg Hunt” on March 19.
The Prospect Heights Public Library District in Illinois is holding its “Spring Egg Hunt” on March 26th.
California’s Manhattan Beach Unified School District has its “Spring Egg Hunt” in late March.
The City of Upland, California will hold its “Spring Egg Hunt” March 30.
There are many, many more examples

Society is becoming more politically correct and calling the Easter Egg Hunts a "spring egg hunt". There is absolutley no reason to do this its just the usual pc types not wanting to offend others. This has to be stopped and we must call them Easter Egg Hunts. Culturaly sensitive bureaucrats are trying to take out the mention of Christianity. This is also not the only case and obama even refused to release a statement of proclamation for Easter and Good Friday yet he had no problem doing it for "earth day" and Muslim holidays like Eid

This is just another phase of the War On Christianity and it must stop.

Do you think this political correctness has to stop? Should the government stop trying to take out the mention of Christianity? Should they call them Easter egg hunts instead of "spring egg hunts"

Easter eggs relate to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ how?

They are supposed to symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus but I have yet to see a bunny rabbit lay one.

Either way I get chocolate rabbits.

Pretty much the only thing religion is good for in my books is the holidays from work that it results in. So I'm all for keeping the holidays but slowly leeching them of any religious significance. Thusly: I approve of this trend.

Someone doesn't know that there were no Christian holidays originally. They were all pagan holidays subsumed by the rising Christian culture. Enjoy your egg hunt and worship of Eostre.

Another Pagan celebration stolen by Christians and used to bolster their Dogma. Or was it just made up out of thin air? Oh well, anyway. Great parody thread!

Easter's the real deal. You have to be good to score Christmas loot but you can be a total dick leading up to Easter and all is forgiven, here's your candy.

We must call it an Easter egg hunt?
What's the penalty for not calling them Easter egg hunts?

The culture war is all Obama has left


"And over the past week the most dangerous place to be in Washington was between a microphone and every Democratic politician looking to announce their newfound support for same-sex marriage. Democrats, detecting a sudden shift in public opinion on the issue, are just now starting to lead from behind.

Unless the economy markedly improves in the near future, or Obamacare is miraculously implemented without a hitch, expect Obama and the White House to turn the 2014 election into an all-out culture war centered around gun control and gay marriage. This is the only turf that appears remotely friendly to them these days."

No one should be surprised.

They should call it a Ramadan Egg hunt and the Jesus freaks get their panties all twisted up.

Hmm is there a culture war because of Obama? Or because some Americans choose to alter their views on cultural issues?

I love how the right is so hard up for phony causes that the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus have now become bible characters

They really dont have much to with Jesus Christ but they should still call them the proper name and stop being PC.

Why did obama wish Muslims a happy Ramadan and Eid but cant do the same for Christians?

No the correct answer is they have nothing to do with Jesus Christ or Easter and this is a troll thread. You 2nd question about Obama only proves that. Now stop posting and go find those last few, hidden, 31st of March Eggs your Mom hid around the wheelchair...

"War on Easter"
"War on Christmas"

LMFAO!!!!!

I'm sure pagans said the same thing years ago when Christianity was trying to take over by adopting their holidays and festivals.

Ignorant Christians.
