Unbelievabvle. So would the Civil Rights Comission recommend renaming the Jewish religious holidays?

One week before the most solemn day in the Christian year, the city of Davenport, Iowa removed Good Friday from its municipal calendar, setting off a storm of complaints from Christians and union members whose contracts give them that day off.

"My phone has been ringing off the hook since Saturday," said city council alderman Bill Edmond. "People are genuinely upset because this is nothing but political correctness run amok."

Edmond said the city administrator made the change unilaterally and did not bring it to the council for a vote, a requirement for a change in policy.

"The city council didn't know anything about the change. We were blind sided and now we've got to clean this mess up. How do you tell people the city renamed a 2,000 year old holiday?" said Edmond.

It didn't take long for the city the resurrect the name Good Friday. Malin was overruled today and the words "Spring Holiday" disappeared.

Good Friday commemorates the day Jesus was crucified and died. Christians celebrate his resurrection the following Sunday, Easter.

The Civil Rights Commission said it recommended changing the name to better reflect the city's diversity and maintain a separation of church and state when it came to official municipal holidays.

again it is ok to stomp on the rights of Christains, in the name of diversity..





another outrage... or insult to the sacred Christian Easter, while I was in the store I saw, pre-historic fossil Easter eggs...

while I understand the conflict of darwin evolution and creation, to make fossil Easter eggs is a commercial insult to Christians..

What do you expect when the President tells the World that the US is not a Chritian nation.
