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.
School 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. Does it matter that they’re detaching “Easter” from “egg hunts”?
After all, the original significance of the day has nothing to do with
bunnies, candy or hunting painted eggs.
It does, because “culturally sensitive” bureaucrats are further
secularizing America by wiping Christian names off traditional community
events...more
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
