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.”

That’s what I was saying, iirc, the origins of the name are pagan.

“Jesus is Risen! Hide all the eggs...”

Nope, never heard that anywhere in church.

[SpinnerWebb]

Does he know the definition of respece? No.

Um... i don't, either...

America is at war with stalinism.

This is not an isolated, nor spontaneous event.

[Christie at the beach]

I didn’t know of this. Talk about indocrinatination or just changing traditions right before your eyes. The liberals want a non religious country. If people cannot see that, they are clueless or too mellow- hearted and or going along in agreement.

If Easter Eggs are good enough for the First Family....

They ought to be good enough for these kids in Alabama.

Well, the NEA ain’t “very conservative” even in Alabama!

"A parent in the past asked us about some of the things we do here at school."

Could that be teaching kids to read (oops, how insensitive of me, I'm assuming that they do teach kids to read), teaching kids to add 2+2=whatever they want it to be, teaching kids to write, spell, or merely teaching kids anything at all?

We want our Mussie Eggs!

[Boogieman]

Right, both the eggs and the name Easter are pagan elements, so I can’t get real upset about this one. They might as well call them “spring fertility eggs” for all they have to do with Jesus.

Groundwork for the continued islamization of America.

“So we’re just trying to make sure we respect and honor everybody’s differences.”

How does banning a word that is significant to 80+ percent of the population respecting anything? This is an ignorant action taken by silly people!

African-American with accolades from professional organizations listed on her page. Obviously, she checked her common sense and critical thinking skills at the door so she could progress in the field of education. All the markings of a card-carrying leftist. I really, really had to fight the urge to send her a nasty e-mail, It is getting harder and harder to have any respect whatsoever for those “educating” our children these days. Thank heavens mine are grown.

“Groundwork for the continued islamization of America.”

Exactly. Yet hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people are insulted and offended that islam and it’s promotion of violence is allowed to exist, so when will it be banned?

LOL!

[Borax Queen]

You’re right, plus, teaching that any white person alive today is guilty of events that happened hundreds of years ago..

[Political Junkie Too]

we’re just trying to make sure we respect and honor everybody’s differences

How do you honor someone's differnce when you don't let them share it with others?
