Decision Not to Feature An Easter Doodle Sparks Outrage

It is always an interest­ing experience to see how creative the different doodles are and how imaginative Google proves to be over time. Therefore, you can only imagine my surprise when I saw that Google’s homepage on Easter Sunday did not feature an Easter related doodle. Instead, the website chose to honor Cesar Chavez who would have been 86 years old.

Kennedy and Bill Clinton show the public’s acceptance of sex scandals.
