Boys and girls at an Alabama elementary school will still get to hunt for eggs – but they can’t call them ‘Easter Eggs’ have the principal banished the word for the sake of religious diversity.

“We had in the past a parent to question us about some of the things we do here at school,” said Heritage Elementary School principal Lydia Davenport. “So we’re just trying to make sure we respect and honor everybody’s differences.”

Ironic... aren’t there pagan origins of the word “Easter”?

OK... OK... we won’t say “Easter” -

we’ll say “Jesus’ Resurrection Day”!

By screwing up for everybody BUT that one person...
Maybe a whole bunch of people should sue for the right to call them “Easter Eggs?”

A .. ay ... one ... uno ... A ...parent (singular) .. one ...A parent ... in the past, a long time ago, no longer lives here (if ever did), A single parent ... asked a question ... not demanded, not threatened, just question ...

And a whole anti-Christian policy is developed.

“We had in the past a parent to question us about some of the things we do here at school,”....

Is that really how the principal said it?? Toastmasters/literacy program, anyone?

On top of it, so what. We have to bend over and give up everything for one person?

Say it with a 7/11 Indian accent and it sounds right.

Lydia Davenport needs to be charged with child abuse and treated accordingly.

Good grief, some touchy parent (s) to make a complaint over this. Easter is just the time of the season, these little kids can do the Easter egg hunts/games and fun activities and being outdoors (for exercise, too). People realize what the meaning of Easter is. This is an activity for small children. Get a life to those who want to punish the child’s innocent fun.

Isn't "Easter" a derivation of a heathen name for a Spring Celebration?
