Google Celebrates leftist leader Cesar Chavez not Easter, on religious holiday as some Christian call for boycott.





Google today choose to honour Cesar Chevez, a leftist labour with its traditional "Google Doodle" instead of the Easter holiday.

Several times per year, and sometimes per month, internet search behemoth Google shakes things up on its incredibly high-traffic homepage by changing its logo to celebrate a memorable day in history like a famous person's birthday or world-changing event.

It has honoured a lots of world famous personalities like, famed anthropologist Mary Leakey's 100 birthday, birthdays of baseball legend Jackie Rohinson, Dr. Martin Luther King and pioneering ice resurfacer Frank Zamboni to name a few.

This action has however not gone down well with some Christians across the world. The decision to honour Chavez's birthday though taken 2011 also falls on Easter Sunday this year.

Fox News Radio personality Todd Starnes took to his webpage to air his grievance.
'Christians across the nation are outraged after Google decided to honor labor leader Cesar Chevaz's birthday instead of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, 'Starnes wrote.
Alongside his complaints, Starnes posted an excerpt of the declaration from President Obama designation of March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day.
Starnes also posted comments sent in by his readers, many of them urging a Christian boycott of Google
'Goodbye Google, hello Bing,' wrote on Starnes reader, referencing Microsoft's competing search engine.



The truth however is that Google has a pattern that has not changed. Birthdays doesn't change Easter dates changes every year.

Google's Doodle hasn't had an Easter Doodle since 2000. They never had one before and they have not had one since then.
