PC police: [CENSORED] Egg Hunt

March 31, 2011
 Wilson

Writer

The PC Police are out in force, but rather than trying to take down Christmas they now want to censor Easter. Glenn had the story on radio this morning.

A small town in Ohio is taking “Easter” out of the traditional Easter egg hunt, and seeking to rename it the “spring egg hunt”. While the town trustees have said they have no issue with letting the event take place under the name “Easter egg hunt”, they don’t want tax dollars to sponsor the even unless the religious element is removed.

“ Why are the taxpayers footing the bill for an Easter egg hunt in the first place? I don't care what you call it. Why are the taxpayers footing the bill for it?” Glenn said.

“And what's the problem if they are footing the bill with calling it an Easter egg hunt?” Pat asked. “Somebody might be offended? Oh, no! There's no clause in the Constitution about being offended.”

Glenn was baffled by the whole situation, and begged someone from Munson, OH, source of the conflict, to call into the show. Around 9:30am, Ralph from Munson made his wish come true.

“ Now, you're in the home of the spring egg hunt now, not the Easter egg hunt,” Glenn said. “How are you feeling about that?”

“Well, a little bit, a little bit uneasy, number of reasons. One is this is the home of, you know, Notre Dame cathedral, Latin High School and elementary school which is probably, you know, one of the strong points of this community here, largest campus in Ohio of its sort and, you know, also take it a little personal having a daughter at that -- at that school,” Ralph said.

“It's gotten a little ridiculous. Last year we actually set up as a little community here and had our own Easter egg hunt,” Ralph said.

This year, members of the community are expanding the hunt to more members of the community, and the Easter egg hunt will be funded entirely by local business.

“We've been advertising it for about the last two or three weeks. We're actually hosting our own Easter egg hunt for the kids 11 and under and, you know, everything there is, you know, bought and paid by our store,” Ralph said.

BOOK BURNING? WaPo op-ed targets 'problematic' books

On the radio program Monday, Glenn Beck, Pat Gray, and Stu Burguiere reacted to a recent Washington Post op-ed in which the author, Ron Charles, suggests that "as Confederate statues finally tumble across America, [and] television networks are marching through their catalogues looking to take down racially offensive content," perhaps the next items that should be up on the cancel-culture chopping block are "problematic books."

"Monuments celebrating racist traitors, which were erected to fabricate history and terrify black Americans, are not works of art that deserve our respect or preservation. Similarly, scenes of modern-day white comedians reenacting minstrel-show caricatures are not ironical interrogations of racism that we have to stomach any longer. But complex works of literature are large, they contain multitudes," Charles wrote.

He goes on to argue that "calibrating our Racism Detector to spot only a few obvious sins" is but an insidious source of self-satisfaction when compared to the process of critical debate on the values and intentions of history's literary legends.

"If cancel culture has a weakness, it's that it risks short-circuiting the process of critical engagement that leads to our enlightenment," Charles wrote. "Scanning videos for blackface or searching text files for the n-word is so much easier than contending with, say, the systemic tokenism of TV rom-coms or the unbearable whiteness of Jane Austen."

Could cancel culture really spiral all the way down to book burning? In the clip below, Glenn, Pat, and Stu agreed that this radical progressive movement is really about erasing America's history and overturning the foundation of our country. The fundamental transformation of America is happening now.

WATCH NOW: Restoring Hope: Glenn Beck honors an America WORTH SAVING

It's been a tough year, America. Our news media is inundating us with images of destruction, violence, and division in attempts not only to desecrate our nation, but to make us turn our backs on it. That's why now, more than ever, we need to take an up-close look at America's history to remember what it is we're fighting for and how to fight for it with practical action.

Join Glenn Beck, broadcasting from Standing Rock Ranch, as he takes us to Plymouth, Gettysburg, and Federal Hall on an important journey through America's remarkable history to inspire a brighter future. Glenn asks the hard questions of every American. Is this system worth saving? Is there a better way? Where do we go from here, and how do we answer those questions?

A BIG SHOW IN A SMALL TOWN: Local paper highlights 'RESTORING HOPE' event at 'Standing Rock Ranch'

"Restoring Hope" has been a labor of love for Glenn and his team and tonight is the night! "Restoring the Covenant" was supposed to take place in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Gettysburg and Washington D.C. but thanks to COVID-19, that plan had to be scrapped. "Restoring Hope" is what was left after having to scrap nearly two years of planning. The Herald Journal in Idaho detailed what the event was supposed to be and what it turned into. Check out the article below to get all the details.

Glenn Beck discusses patriotic, religious program filmed at Idaho ranch

On July 2, commentator Glenn Beck and his partners will issue a challenge from Beck's corner of Franklin County to anyone who will listen: "Learn the truth, commit to the truth, then act on the truth."

Over the last few weeks, he has brought about 1,000 people to his ranch to record different portions of the program that accompanies the challenge. On June 19, about 400 members of the Millennial Choir and Orchestra met at West Side High School before boarding WSSD buses to travel to a still spring-green section of Beck's ranch to record their portion of the program.

WATCH: '1619 Project' EXPOSED: The agenda to tear down America

The current riots and movement to erase America's history are exactly in line with the New York Times' "1619 Project," which argues that America was rotten at its beginning, and that slavery and systemic racism are the roots of everything from capitalism to our lack of universal health care.

On this week's Wednesday night special, Glenn Beck exposed the true intent of the "1619 Project" and its creator, who justifies remaking America into a Marxist society. This clever lie is disguised as history, and it has already infiltrated our schools.

"The '1619 Project' desperately wants to pass itself off as legitimate history, but it totally kneecaps itself by ignoring so much of the American story. There's no mention of any black Americans who succeeded in spite of slavery, due to the free market capitalist system. In the 1619 Project's effort to take down America, black success stories are not allowed. Because they don't fit with the narrative. The role of white Americans in abolishing slavery doesn't fit the narrative either," Glenn said.

"The agenda is not ultimately about history," he added. "It's just yet another vehicle in the fleet now driven by elites in America toward socialism."
