St. Paul Boots the Easter Bunny

St. Paul, Minnesota, that is:
So long, Easter Bunny.

A toy rabbit decorating the entrance of the St. Paul City Council offices went hop-hop-hoppin' on down the bunny trail Wednesday after the city's human rights director said non-Christians might be offended by it.

The decorations — including the stuffed rabbit, Easter eggs and a handcrafted sign saying "Happy Easter," but nothing depicting the biblical account of Christ's death and resurrection — were put up this week in the office of the City Council by a council secretary.

It was not the first holiday decoration ever to go up in the building, but City Hall observers believe it is the first one to come down out of concerns for religious sensitivity.

"I sent an e-mail that Easter is viewed as a Christian holiday and advised that it be taken down," said Tyrone Terrill, the city's human rights director. "It wasn't a big deal."
Earth to Tyrone Terrill: After an exhaustive, scholarly reading of the New Testament and every one of the Gnostic Gospels, Wonker has decisively concluded that the Easter Bunny is not mentioned anywhere in these documents.

Political Correctness is now plumbing the absolute depths of stupidity, rooting our Christianity where it does not even exist. Really exposes the lefties' Gramscian Game Plan, don't it? How long are Minnesotans going to go along with this kind of crap? Don't answer that, okey dokey.

Perhaps St. Paul's brilliant administrators should change the city to Santa Kwanza!

Dear A,

Indeed. They probably should. It would probably evade the ACLU's all-seeing eyes.
