"Employees at USDA that object to a Happy Easter greeting should resign or be fired from government positions. Greetings for any religion based holiday - even from a public official-- are protected free speech statements and not obligations to be rude or moronic. Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, Happy Passover. Happy Mothers Day or Happy EID should not be censored," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
A handful of federal employees have sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Secretary Brooke Rollins.
According to Fox News, the plaintiffs accused Rollins of "Christian proselytizing" after she sent USDA employees an Easter email message filled with Christian language and imagery.
"Happy Easter," the email read in part. "He is Risen indeed! Today we celebrate the greatest story ever told, the foundation of our faith, and the abiding hope of all mankind."
The employees' complaint state that the email also included the words "Christ is Risen," along with a drawing of an empty tomb, according to Fox.
Seven USDA employees, joined by the National Federation of Federal Employees, brought the complaint May 13, Fox reported.
