IN the NEWS - EASTERless EASTER

School Bans the Word ‘Easter
From Easter Festivities to Not ‘Infringe on the Rights of Others’

"Heritage Elementary School in Madison, Alabama is taking the word “Easter” out of Easter, according to WHNT19 News.
What does that mean? Well, they’ll still tolerate someone dressed as a giant bunny, but it will no longer be called the “Easter bunny.” Similarly, “Easter eggs” are just “eggs,” and it might be better just to use “different shapes.”
School principal Lydia Davenport said with a smile: “Kids love the bunny, and we just make sure we don’t say ‘the Easter bunny’ so that we don’t infringe on the rights of others, because people relate the Easter bunny to religion.
 
The secular assault on Christianity continues
in the education system--PC nonsense
[Davenport] informed staff no activities related to or centered around any religious holiday would be allowed in the interest, she says, of religious diversity among students.
There is nothing biblical about Easter bunnies or colorful plastic eggs or synthetic iridescent grass clippings — but the perceived need to modify the student egg hunt has many parents upset;" TheBlaze Sure the Easter bunny is pagan and has nothing to do with the real meaning of the so-called "Easter" observances in churches--but the reason for banning the word "Easter"-is religion... how is this happening in America?
 
 
And it was the preparation of the passover,
and about the sixth hour:
and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
John 19:14
