Got this idea for this thread when I saw on CCN that a kid got in trouble when him and his mom decide to give the kids in the class easter baskets in school by the school distrant.
What do you guys think of this?I think that the school should had let him.It was not harming anybody.And even people who don't celebrate easter still gets a basket full with candy so how is this ok!
It is not like the kid gave out crosses or anything like that!Instead they took away a kid's freedom of speech!Jm

explain to me wtf an easter basket has to do with the resurrection on christ and i'll rabble right along with you.

It has nothing to do with it.I am just saying that the stupid school would not this kid bring any in because they said it has something to do with religon.Jm

i know it has nothing to do with it. im just saying its difficult to feel enraged over an easter basket. its silly, yes...but really it has no impact on anything (besides making a community look downright silly)

Which it does.All schools around the country does not do eggs painting or what ever because it offending people that is even more silly!Have we lost our freedom of speech and Religon?I would say we have!
Before you know it we will not be able to say anything at all!Jm

that slope was more slippery than an eel in a bucket of snot

Tell me what you are talking about tomorrow!Got to get some sleep!jm

pokey

If the principle says it's okay, then it should be.

Getting in trouble for a kid bringing it in on his own accord? No, he shouldn't get in trouble. Should the school sponsor it? No.

If a kid does something in accordance with his religion for his fellow students, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's when the school sponsors it that it becomes a problem.

Even if the school sponsored it what would the problem be? They gave them a basket full of eggs...

Really trying to make that about religion is damned hard, unless your Southpark of course. The tradition is crap and people still get eggs. So I don't see the problem.

But yea. Life's like a basket of easter eggs... umm.... Yea I'm going no where with this one. Anyway, yea it's stupid but really who cares much. If the school says no, fine. Guess what? Bell rings. Schools over. WHO WANTS BASKETS!?

I want baskets!Anyway it was the school distrant that disargeed and try to ban it from public school not the headmaster!It is still taking away freedom of speech and that is what makes me mad.jm

Because it's still a holiday centered around Christianity, and I don't think a school should sponsor it. Now, if individual students decide to partake in it, by all means.

That's crap. In this case, you are a Jew who thinks Easter is a fun time. For the rest of us grown ups, Easter was a fun childhood distraction that isn't honoured by any kid for the real reason it's celebrated. Since an easter basket has nothing to do with Jesus being resurrected, it's all well and good for the kids to have them.

What the King said. By the way, do you mean Satan?

I don't see why not... Easter, like all public holidays have very little to do with religion nowadays; commercially anyway. Easter means bugger all to me in Christian sense, it's all about the hot cross buns, days off and chocolate.

How is having an easter basket christian?It is just a basket loading with eggs and candy!It has nothing to do with what easter is all about.The easter bunny has nothing to do with it either.
Can you please exclaim to me what it has to do with Christianity?Thanks Spoony for argeeing with me!Jm

Ummm.... just exactly how in the hell is an Easter basket detrimental to the Christian Religion I wonder?!?!?

Btw, Easter bunny now called Peter Rabbit in schools apparently.

Anything filled with candy is okay by me.

Me too!jm

CCN...

Wow, awesome. First the banning of the word "God" from public places, the removal and often renaming of the Christmas tree (That's right folks, it's not a Holiday Tree... it's a freaking Christmas tree) and the banning of Christmas music in some places, and now this.

What other religions out there are treated like this? It's ridiculous.

I think only the Cathloics are.It seen to be favoring(hope no on gets offended by this sorr if you do)go to the Jews Muslims and so on more then the church it's self.
BUt if you think of the movies and music out anyone can dump on the church and no one has a promblem.If you say something about the others everyone gets insulted and there is a big thing with it.How is this unfair?jm

What? That isn't even English.

Easter is a Christian holiday. Christianity inherited the eggs from the pagans, and which symbolizes the rebirth of christ, yadda yadda. It's a Christian holiday, and even if most kids don't associate easter baskets with them, that's not the point. They still are associated.

Who or why would the school distant think of all of that?I am a christin and I have no idea what you are talkilng about?It is not like a kid is going to start saying well these eggs are so and so!I mean come on the kid was eight and hanicap.How stupid can these teachers be for God stake>?jm

It's about the subtle conditioning of children to a particular religion, whether they outright recognize that association or not is not the point. It's still there.

But yet they do have stuff for jews people in public school and also muslims and so on so why not let alittle easter basket make the school distant look away?Jm

My school never sponsored any Jewish or Muslim holidays. If yours did, you need to bring it up with the school that it's inappropriate.

see last week's south park

I don't watch southpark.What happen in it?jm

Jackie, who hired you?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This has nothing to do with hiring it has something to do with easter baskets not be allowed in school becaues the school distant is stupid.jm

did the eater bunny leave you any candy JM?

Yes got some!jm

The family is out of line because some kids get baskets and some kids don't.

Not an issue at all.

What do you mean some kids don't get easter basket?Those are some who don't but the kids who do have it.A friend of mine is muslim and she gets a basket every year.JM

If you could actually write a sentance...maybe I could answer. The only coherent sentance is the last one and that is totally irrelevant.

IF you know how to read you would understand what I had put.jm

haermm "What you had put?"

Read it again!Just read it slowly.jm

"Those are some who don't but the kids who do have it."

What does this mean?

No comment!jm

My point exactly.

Try reading it slower.

If you don't like what I say or argee then why do you brother to answear my threads?jm

Because a thread is not a "praise the threadmaker lovefest." I have a right to diasagree...I even posted rational reasons, which went unaddressed, and you haven't rationally backed up your argument besides saying it is your unbased opinon.

Yes that is true this is a open thread however.If you keep an open mind and not let things brother you so much you may learn and enjoy answearing.Got to get to work but be back later tonight!jm
