Ohio town is taking the 'Easter' out of its annual egg hunt
Ohio town is taking the 'Easter' out of its annual egg hunt
MUNSON, Ohio --
A Northeast Ohio community is taking the "Easter" out of the egg hunt.
....
Still, township trustees are opting to call this year's Easter weekend event "The Spring Egg Hunt."
Dance choreographer Matt Martsolf works with kids every day and has a few of his own. His opinion about what to call this year's egg hunt is shared with dance clients.
"Stop the headache. Just let the kids have their day," Martsolf said.
"It's traditionally been called an Easter egg hunt for years and years and people are little bit too touchy," client Michelle Nelson said.

Some live in fear of terrorists. Other in fear of words.

1. War on Easter?
Who'd a thunk?
I agree, let children have their day. The Easter Bunny is an endearing character that I remember fondly from my childhood?
A war on Christians is more like it. DUmmies wage it daily.

4. It's not like the Easter Bunny is Christian, anyway
It's actually pagan. Hares were sacred to the Goddess in ancient Britain.

12. As is the "Easter Egg"
The name "Easter", as well. Christians were plaguerists.
Really? I thought rats and fleas spread the plague.

7. I'm failing to see the big deal here
Nobody is "taking" anything away from the kids. They're still going to have their egg hunt. To be honest, I doubt any of them actually pay attention to the actual name of the egg hunt.
The only ones making a big stink out of this seem to be the adults.

8. Particularly the adults who had the hissy fit over the word "Easter"
Calling an Easter Egg hunt an Easter Egg hunt doesn't take a damned thing away from any adult. Unless they believe the Easter Bunny was crucified and rose from the grave.
Blame it on liberals and atheists.

10. It's about time kids weren't taught that rabbits lay eggs.
Prepare them for the shock that they're MAMMALS, like themselves! (God knows it amazes far too many people when they discover boobs.)
Only an idiot, (you) would ever believe that the Easter Bunny lays the eggs he delivers.

So this year when the WH has its Ramadan celebration let's make no mention of pedophile prophets.

Seriously, Tahiti, is that what your mom told you? The rabbit laid the eggs? She's as stupid as you are.

In ****in' credible!
We now live in the United Socialist States of America!
5 people complain and make the decisions for a 1,000! just ****in' great!

Those poor kids. Who comes and brings them their baskets? The Spring Bunny? Thank goodness the Easter Bunny comes to our home and leaves Easter eggs to find in the morning.
-
It's the Post-Seasonal-Change Celebration Rodent! At least that way, nobody is offended by the use of the word 'bunny' (or 'Easter').

****ing heathens
Hell, it's just as anti-American as it is anti-Christian.

So, you're saying it would be ok if it was a liberal religious holiday like Paganism? ...and you idiots are telling me you aren't at war with Christianity and everything that's decent in this country. Ramadan is fine, but a nativity scene? Hell no because "it might ohhhffend."
Liberals make me f'n sick. If the Easter Bunny, a nativity scene, or Christmas offends you, go suck on some Carbon Monoxide. There can BE no "coexistence" if you want to deprive the majority of this country of it's heritage. ...but you libs don't want to coexist, do you? You want everyone thinking like you. You're like the political goth.

I am surprised at this. Munson is in a conservative area. Not many ACLDouche types there.

Yes, lets ****ing call it the Vernal Equinox Poultry Ovum Roll so as not to piss off everybody but the Christians. :bs:

Where's the "god hates bunny" guy?

^^This.
Anything to eliminate the Catholic religion.
I don't think it has anything to do with the "Easter" bunny. I think it goes way beyond that.

I was thinking the same thing...
-
I haz da solution....we all show up with salt and pepper shakers and eat all the unholy eggs....just leave the Easter eggs.

I heard on the news yesterday that a local businessman decided to sponsor it. It's now in private hands, on private land, and the word "Easter" has been restored.
The private sector to the rescue, once again.

Yeah, but our tax dollars still pay for the liberal sanctioned BS.

25. GOOD. Calling it an "Easter" egg hunt is FUNDIE XTIAN PROPAGANDA
to INDOCTRINATE and BRAINWASH the kids.
If someone tries to organize anything to do with "East*r" in your neighborhood, call the ACLU RIGHT ****ING NOW.
Let's hope this Easter message is included in all democrat campaign literature, because if you help elect democrats, this is what you're voting for.

plaguerists
They have spell check embedded on the forum over there, don't they?
