The Knucklehead of the Day award

Today's winner is Tyrone Terrill the human rights director for the city of St. Paul Minnesota. Mr. Terrill asked that Easter Bunny displays and signs saying Happy Easter be removed from City Hall. The reason? That they could offend non-Christians. Terrill admits no one had complained to him.

Just another act of secular stupidity. If no one is complaining, why remove them? The supposedly tolerant people like Mr. Terrill are really very intolerant. Signs of Christianity offend them but do we ever speak up towards other religious symbols? Never. They are anti-Christian not concerned in the least about other religions. Plus isn't it ironic this is taking place in a city named St. Paul? Isn't that name offensive to non-Christians?

For finding offense when there is none, Tyrone Terrill is today's Knucklehead of the day.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A small Easter display was removed from the City Hall lobby on Wednesday out of concern that it would offend non-Christians.

The display - a cloth Easter bunny, pastel-colored eggs and a sign with the words "Happy Easter'' - was put up by a City Council secretary. They were not purchased with city money.

Tyrone Terrill, the city's human rights director, asked that the decorations be removed. Terrill said no citizen had complained to him.

Council Member Dave Thune called it a shame.

"This has just gone too far,'' he said. "We can't celebrate spring with bunnies and fake grass?''

The council president, Kathy Lantry, said the removal wasn't about political correctness.

"As government, we have a different responsibility about advancing the cause of religion, which we are not going to do,'' she said.
