Keep your religious themed function where it belongs, in your church or home but not our public park and endorsed by a government entity. If you don't want to do that then do one of the recommended functions you mentioned. Darrell W,

A public entity doesn't have the right to violate the separation of church and state. My privately run HOA could have denied my request but were reasonable in realizing their error. A simple lawsuit of abusing dues would have changed their mind eventually. And that was my point. A public entity doesn’t have the right to violate the separation of church and state.

A simple call to the association explaining that we wanted to participate but didn't celebrate easter put the issue to rest. We all agreed a spring egg hunt was inclusive for all kids and not based on mythology. We agreed that parents that wanted to have their kids go to an easter egg hunt could do that at home or at their church. Every year since we have a spring egg hunt and there are no problems. md457@hotmail.com Note from the EasterBunnyDude: Thanks for your comment. The difference between your situation and mine is that your association got together and agreed to make a change. In Walnut Creek, the bureaucrats made a change based on one person's comments and never consulted the public. And still haven't.

He's mocking you. Not sure if you realize that, but many people who watch the show do....they're not laughing with you, they're laughing AT you. Just FYI. Note from the EasterBunnyDude: I guess it's a matter of perspective. Everyone I've spoken to, pro and con on this issue, agrees that the real target of this is the city and its heavy handed approach.

I've been here in Concord for 3 years and had no idea this was going on. Thank you for your letter to the editor and picking up all the press on this. Wonderful job on Hannity btw, (is that your wife laughing in the background? That's so funny!)
