Easter Bunny Controversy
Don’t get me wrong. I’m as much a supporter of egalitarianism as much as the next person, but this just seems like political correctness gone horribly wrong. Who really cares if its an "Easter" Bunny or a Spring Bunny anyhow. Read all about it below:
It’s been nearly five years since Walnut Creek, Calif., renamed its Easter Bunny the "Spring Bunny," but the name change became news in early March after a resident wrote a letter to the editor protesting it.
City spokesman Brad Rovanpera said he was surprised by the media buzz and TV news trucks outside City Hall, attracted by a change instituted in 2003 with no controversy. The city’s Spring Bunny reigns over annual "Spring Egg Hunts" in two city parks.
"This will be the fifth year we are doing it that way," Rovanpera said. "This is the first complaint that I have ever heard. In fact, no one has ever complained to the city that we know of. This is from a letter to the editor."
The author of the letter, a former newspaper reporter named Michael Runzler, said banishing the word "Easter" from the bunny and the eggs strikes a nerve with many people. He is happy the story is getting attention.
