A Rhode Island public school has decided the Easter bunny is too Christian and renamed him Peter Rabbit, and a state legislator is so hopping mad he has introduced an “Easter Bunny Act” to save the bunny’s good name.

“Like many Rhode Islanders I’m quite frustrated … by people trying to change traditions that we’ve held in this country for 150 years, like the Easter bunny,” Rhode Island State Rep. Richard Singleton told “Good Morning America Weekend Edition.”

The Easter bunny was scheduled to make an appearance at a craft fair on Saturday at Tiverton Middle School in Tiverton, R.I.

But the district’s schools Superintendent William Rearick told event organizers to change the bunny’s name to Peter Rabbit in “an attempt to be conscious of other people’s backgrounds and traditions.”

The obvious stupidity being displayed by Superintendent Rearick is nothing new. We are seeing this kind of politically correct absurdity popping up in school administrations all over the country. It’s no wonder why America’s schools are turning out children that are as equally stupid.

What’s even more silly about this is that the Easter Bunny isn’t even a religious symbol anyway. A 7 year old kid going out on an Easter egg hunt at school is thinking about candy, not Christianity.

I still stand by my opinion, however, on what the problem is with American schools. Don’t blame Rearick for this incident. Blame the parents of the school district who don’t give a damn and allowed it to happen in the first place.

Thompson has not yet decided to seek the Republican presidential nomination. But “he is getting more serious every day,” said an adviser familiar with Thompson’s plans.

Thompson’s coming-out as a candidate-in-waiting will be a May 4 appearance at the 45th annual dinner of the Lincoln Club of Orange County in the heart of Ronald Reagan country in Southern California. The invitation was widely sought by aspiring Republicans, and his advisers expect considerable media attention around the visit. But there are no plans now for an announcement then.

It seems like more of a possibility each day that he is going to jump into the race, but still no certainty. He is definitely taking his time on making the decision. Strategery, perhaps.
