You totally missed the point. He didn't have a problem with the rabbit. He had a problem with the word "Easter".
Oh, I got the point all right. I also got the part where the under principal, raised a Catholic, claimed that the Easter Bunny was synonymous with the Christian celebration of Easter. That was the point of my post. The Easter Bunny traces its origin to a pagan goddess. It has nothing to do with Christianity [anymore than Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer has anything to do with the Christian celebration of Christmas]. I find such ignorance and illogic truly amazing.
