    This is ridiculous. Where does it all end??? So I guess the Easter Bunny is now just a Spring Bunny?

    Not only that, they are messing up these kids' geometry knowledge - they aren't spheres, they are ovoid solids.

    Just WHAT kind of idiots think that sort of thing is a good idea?

    Good idea! Seperate Easter from the hallmark holiday for kids and candy! I couldn't have thought of anything better. I actually celebrate Easter on March 21 like a good Pagan and do so with solomn respect to the coming season of rebirth. I ALSO celebrate the hallmark/Christian "easter" with bunnies and candy and a family get together. There's nothing Christian about another day for giving children free candy and toys. There's also nothing Christian about buying bunnies on a whim to give to kids who don't know how to take care of them. Or maybe there is...

    The elementary school I work at still puts up christmas trees in each room. I call them a fire hazard.

    Excellent response to it all! (..much better than "spring spheres.")

    I agree with you about the trees, too. How ARE they able to pull that off these days, when other places are coming up with "spring spheres?" Good on you!
