Political Correctness: Is It Really All That??? (And a Bag of Chips)

Read an article today that is featured on the Yahoo homepage.  The title of the article is "Seattle teacher renames Easter eggs ‘spring spheres’."  When you get a chance, please read this article. 

So, what does this have to do with being politically correct?  Easy.  Instead of "Merry Christmas" it is "Happy Holidays", but who says it will end there.  This article shows that not only are the holidays that are recognized by our government, and the values which our Nation was founded on, are being scrutinized, but the symbolism as well.  First Easter eggs, next the Easter Bunny, Santa, Christmas trees, and the list will continue to grow. 

Yes, Easter and Christmas are Christian holidays, however, they have been secularized and commercialized.  Last time I checked the Bible, I didn't find Santa or the Easter Bunny, or even Easter eggs mentioned.  Also, many people who are not "religious" encourage their children to believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny.  That brings a new element into the debate.  Because these holidays have been secularized, then the 'religious' part becomes a back burner topic.

If you want to be politically correct, then use the politically correct term to groups of people and not the derogatory terms.  Religion, falls into a separate category.  You cannot separate something which was the basis for the founding of our Nation.  We are not forcing our 'religious' views on you, but you are infringing on our right if you want us to refrain from calling our eggs, Easter eggs. 

Today is Palm Sunday and next Sunday, my family will be celebrating Easter.  And my kids will be hunting Easter eggs as well!  Easter is why I am a Christian.

"For God loved the world in this way:  

He gave His One and Only Son, 

so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, 

but that the world might be saved though Him."  (HCS Bible  John 3:16-17)

One last note, Easter eggs are not "spheres," they are actually ovals.  Happy EASTER!
