I think Easter is constitutional and I think it’s not fair that people try to be too politically correct and infers with our God given rights. If you get offended because someone talked about a religious holiday, then you don’t have to celebrate the holiday. People get offended too easily nowadays and they don’t know how to tolerate other people’s opinions. The kids at the Alabama elementary school needed to be open-minded with there thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI think Easter is constitutional and I honestly don't get why people get too out of shape about it. People get so stupid and upset about Easter and bunnies being too "religious" when the bunnies are just a symbol. No one said you have to celebrate this holiday or any holiday, if you don't like it then don't be a part of it. I honestly think that people who make decision like the Alabama school did are just overreacting.
ReplyDeleteI think Easter is constitutional and even if people do get mad at it, it doesn't mean we should just stop celebrating it, and act like its nothing. You don't have to celebrate it if you don't want to, but it doesn't mean that you would deprive others of enjoy and celebrating what they want. The people that are making the decisions at Alabama school are thinking of this the wrong way and just going all about this wrong. The kids are small and should be able to celebrate it, then if they don't like it, they will chose not to do it again.
ReplyDeleteI think Easter is constitutional i don't see why people get mad over it.I don't understand why do some people try to stop others from praising God. This shows that people try to be so politically correct for no necessary reason. The Alabama school is going at this all wrong. They can have of chose to celebrate it or not if they like it they like it if they hate it at least they tried it.
ReplyDeleteEverybody has their own opinions on things in the world and will not always agree. That being said I think Easter is constitutional , if you do not agree with it or do not celebrate it then so be it and do you. It does not make sense for the rest of us not to celebrate a holiday we strongly believe in. The people that are making the decisions at Alabama school are thinking of this the wrong way and just going all about this wrong. The kids are small and should be able to celebrate it, then if they don't like it, they will chose not to do it again.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe that these holiday are against our Consistution. We have an option of whether or not we choose to accept them as days of annual celebration. Having offense to a word that has little meaning to individual life is childish and pointless to the development of the Human mind. Interestingly the Easter bunny is somehow correlated to the Biblical holiday we christians celebrate. The world around us is so consumed in ignorance that they fail to understand the signifance and Virtue of our day of clebrating our Savior's resurection. This just shows have infetrtile the system of Knowledge is being governed in our own nation.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that Easter is constitutional because really its hours and goal is to the mind we feel the understanding reason the significance of being politically correct we cover ourselves to know what it is and what is not the system's knowledge is very significant in our governd.celebrating our are Savior resurrection is the most important thing in this video.
ReplyDeleteI think that having an Easter bunny and having Easter egg hunts are harmless. It depends on how you are raised at home. I grew up knowing exactly what Easter was about and still attended Easter egg hunts that were actually at my church. Its up to the parents to figure out what they want their child to know. So i don't believe that the Easter is unconstitutional. The Alabama school was just going to far with it. Its one thing to not talk about religion, but to not talk about Easter is just alittle much. Easter doesnt mean the same thing to everybody
ReplyDeleteI think having the easter bunny and egg hunts are harmless. My church holds and easter egg hunt every year. I went to them all the time as a kid and still knew what the holiday was about. Children should be able to call it whatever they want and the school shouldn't tell them what they can and cannot say, that's the parent's decision. Christians don't worship the easter bunny, we celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead. The school shouldn't have restricted that. They were going to far with it.
ReplyDeletei think that if you believe in easter then you should be able to call it what you like. if others who don't believe in easter than they should just call it something different and not get offended just because we may call it something different. and having an easter bunny really doesn't mean anything, it is almost compared to santa at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that Easter is unconstitutional. Everybody has their own opinion and if they don't like Easter they can keep it to their selves or go tell someone who cares. The Easter bunny and an egg hunt wasn't made t offend anyone it was just for kids to have fun and I think it serves its purpose because I know I use to have a great time doing all that.
ReplyDeleteI don't consider the use of Easter to technically be applied to religion unless it is being used deliberately as a symbol for a religion. I am also just as surprised as the ministry leader when I read that it came out of the bible belt since I know that that is a heavy religious area. If someone wants to use the Easter word for religion he should be allowed to as it can also be used for non religious meanings and is also a recognizable word for children in its correspondence to the Easter bunny.
ReplyDeleteI do not understand why a elementary princple would say that the symbol of the easter bunny could be related to be religious. If that the case then everything in that princple mind could be related to be religious. That is taking away the right of freedom of speech from the students by not allowing them to say easter. No matter what we happen people will get offended and easter is a time to honor how jesus rose from the grave.
ReplyDeleteI think Easter is constitutional and I honestly don't get what would make it not. Easter is however you shape it to be and for children is supposed to be for fun. The bunny and the Easter Egg hunts were never meant to be offensive and I don't get exactly why you'd be offended by the subject in any way. Easter, for Christians, is supposed to be for how Jesus came alive once again and I feel as though it should be allowed in all schools.
ReplyDeleteI think that's one of the dumbest things I have ever heard uttered. If it infringes on belief rights, and it doesn't, then that still doesn't mean banning it doesn't infringe on their rights. And since it doesn't actually infringe on anybody's beliefs, I don't know why this has even come up. The Easter bunny is hardly secular, no more than Santa Claus. The fact that he thinks someone expressing their beliefs affects someone else's beliefs is ridiculous, and hypocritical if he thinks he can solve the problem by stamping out their beliefs and forbidding mention of the word Easter.
ReplyDeletei look at it from all sides of the situation, but this country was founded with biblical principles and should be lead and protected by them, the easter bunny is a fun kids imaginary figure that lets kids be kids and if you keep stuff like santa or the easter bunny away then we loose imagination in people and can take away dreams, and it gives something or a foundation as you would put it to believe in something and later on they could find out what the easter bunny stood for and the holiday and schools shouldn't take that out because it just causes grief and a mess all the way around.

This ties in perfectly with what Im doing for my contemporary issues.I am doing stuff on how Christianity is not allowed in school,and this shows how this is getting out of hand like banning a word like Easter . It just cuts more and more into peoples rights and how we are getting further and further away from Christ and we are not making any effort to get closer to him and its really sad.I have not seen anything like this it is just completely stupid in my opinion
