easter debate

Should we celebrate Easter in school? This is the big question of the day in our community as a school board recently made the decision that there would be no eggs, bunnies, baskets, candy or parties in the school district during the Easter Season. I am already reeling from the fact that we cannot have a "moment of silence" in our schools because it reminds people of prayer and we cannot have that ... but somehow removing all secular imagery of Easter just gets my goat (or bunny)! I mean, really, what is the harm done with an Easter Egg Hunt and Egg Decorating? I like those activities as opposed to the alternative which is to watch a movie on the "big screen" for the last half of the last day of school before break!
