Gotta love public schools. No to Easter Eggs; Yes to Muslim week and bringing your own prayer rug.
Why should there be discussions about Easter or Easter eggs in ANY public school period????

Beneath the surface, "Easter" eggs are actually pagan eggs.

It's secular and sexual.

It's a thing called love.

So wait, an anonymous caller to a radio show claimed this story happened, but there is no other verification?

The entire eggs and bunnies thing has absolutely nothing to do with the Christian celebration. When I was in school it was politically incorrect to discuss the religious significance of the holiday but the bunnies and eggs were a big deal and the holiday was celebrated in that manner (same as Santa and reindeer at Christmas). Its hard to believe its getting so that these holidays that were once big deals. in their religious and secular contexts, cannot even be mentioned in public without people being offended.

I don't believe the Groundhog can predict when spring will arrive, should I be offended every February 2nd?

and why should there be discussions about the Muslim religion if you want to talk about that. I don't think this is about discussing Easter, but about what the traditional hunt is called and what those things we hard boil before we color them are called. No one is talking about discussing religion escept you. It was simply a statement, we can have a thus week but not another week.

Sounds like the school district needs some "spring spheres" between their legs to stand up to PC.

I guess it's just part of learning about the holidays in the society in which you live.

Do you want to ban all holidays from schools ?
You want kids growing up not knowing or celebrating any holidays ?
