They made the Easter Bunny illegal within the town? How is that possible? Will they be sending police into churches according to this rule?
So, can farmer MacGregor can Peter, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail and have Mrs. MacGregor make rabbit soup out of them?
They banned Christmas in Tiverton already.
OK for them if they want to be damned commies,and the town wants to let them. But if I hear a word from them about Ramadan, I'm going to visit them and Hell's coming with me.
they banned the Easter Bunny???
How 'bout the Ramadan Pig?
About time they started banning that Easster Bunny dude. Just look at all of the problems he causes.
Where does he get all of those eggs from?
Does he use small kids to color all of those eggs?
What are the wages he pays them in no doubt horrid conditions?
Are they union workers?
Do the little tikes get vacation, sick leave?
Besides..........
They are banning the Easter Bunny from all school functions and inviting kids to an egg hunt but will not allow "Easter" in any of the wording

Catholic rights head decries Easter bunny ban
Tiverton's decision to ban the Easter Bunny from school events isn't sitting well with the head of a national Catholic civil rights organization.
As reported in a Journal story today, schools Supt. William Rearick said he decided to remove the word "Easter" from upcoming school events following a complaint from the School Committee. And rather than a visit from the Easter Bunny this weekend, attendees at a middle school craft fair will see Peter Rabbit instead.
Today, Bill Donohue, president of the New York-based Catholic League, had some fun in releasing a sarcastic response:
"It is unconscionable that in this day and age Supt. William Rearick would choose to honor a thief," Donohue said. "As every schoolchild knows, Peter Rabbit stole from Mr. McGregor's garden. To now hold him up as a role model to impressionable youngsters sends the wrong signal. At the very least, grief counselors should be dispatched to tomorrow's event."
Donohue continued: "There is also a more serious matter going on. The event smacks of sexism: Peter Rabbit had three sisters -- Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail -- and there is no historical record of them ever having committed a crime. So why were they passed over? Looks like the glass ceiling is still in place."
Donohue then urges "everyone to register their outrage" by e-mailing Rearick and providing his address.
The Catholic League is a national organization headquartered in New York. A civil rights watchdog organization since 1973, it is not officially affiliated with the Catholic Church, according to a spokeswoman.
When Easter bunnies are outlawed only outlaws will have Easter bunneys.
Easter Bunny or Peter Rabbit; either can kick Jimmy Carter's ass.
Maybe we "environmental Nazis" who don't believe in the fantasy of Global Warming can press upon them to ban
any celebrations of Earth Day, in response...it offends us,
truly. What about all the other planets?
It's just part of the ongoing 'War on Pagan Symbols' that you here so much about on Fox news.
The "Trix-are-for-kids" bunny?
There was a thread last year I think about some company that banned piggy bands and Winnie the Pooh to appease some ROP employees.
I can't believe that Peter Rabbit would participate in this religious holiday.
Now we've got to ban him!
So you can't talk about the Easter Bunny in this town?
No pictures of the Easter Bunny?
Doesn't that violate the First Amendment?
