I am so sick and tired of everyone in this society being "offended" by something that has been tradition for a very long time. I am sure there is not a single person who is not offended by something. We are all offended by one thing or another. Now it is the Easter Bunny.
Some schools have stopped allowing children to call the Easter Bunny the Easter Bunny because it may offend some of the other children at the school. Easter eggs and Easter egg hunts are now called Spring eggs and Spring egg hunts. It is absolutely sickening.
Can't I be offended by their offense? I personally offended that these people who are complaining about the Easter bunny can prevent everyone else from calling it the Easter bunny. It is like when the Atheists were offended by a park that annually set up a Nativity set for Christmas. Just because the Atheists did not like it, the Christians had to get rid of it. That just seems totally unfair. I am just as offended by their offense as they are offended by the Nativity set. Why should they get their way, and we have to make sacrifices and give up things that have been tradition for generation after generation? Besides, the majority of the U.S. population is Christian. The Atheists are actually a minority. So why should we have to give up our traditions just because someone in the world is "offended".
