Mr. Fredson: And you just learned this recently? That many if not all of these Easter customs are Celtic/Druidic in origin? And you call yourself educated?
Too many ’educated’ people in America lack basic curiosity, especially about their own origins and history, which makes me wonder about not only the overall quality of American public education, but also its ultimate purpose. Not to be curious about the customs we were brought up on, especially bizarre ones like the Easter bunny and Santa Claus, two very un-Christian concepts I might add, is a sign of an atrophied mind. Here in America we have way too many atrophied minds, and it’s not because of the water we drink or the food we eat, at least not entirely. I fault public education for this egregious lack of curiousity amongst so many affluent Americans, or, to be more accurate, the huge, money-grabbing bureaucracy that is responsible for what passes as public education in this country.
I truly believe that Home Schooling is the only way to bring up a healthy child with an independent and active mind in today’s world. Public education in America undermines a child’s mental growth. A child who grows up to become a curious and intelligent person in America today, grew up that way in spite of public education, not because of it.
