I’m responding to the Julie Muhlstein’s column, “It’s an egg hunt, without the Easter part.” I’m angry, disgusted and sad with the decision to remove “Easter” from the annual Edmond’s egg hunt. The city mentioned last year a person complained about the city being involved in an egg hunt at all. Is the city suggesting it’s important that everyone agrees on various issues? What is happening to us as individuals and communities when compassion and tolerance for differing opinions is eroding rapidly?
I am a Christian and believe in long-held traditions and also respect non-Christians beliefs. The problem arises when I am expected to continue to relinquish what’s important to me for the sake of the opposing group. Maybe next year someone will complain about Saint Patrick’s Day and it will become known as March 17 Green Day! Sad day for Edmonds. God help us all!
