Controversy over Easter Google Doodle… or lack thereof - image

Google Doodle surprised many Catholics this morning when they opted out for a Google Doodle celebrating the 86th birthday of Cesar Chavez, an American labour activist, instead of Easter Sunday. Many took to Twitter to vent their frustration.

Kinda crazy that the google doodle today is about Cesar Chavez and not Easter. #googleFail

#Google a search engine not observing your religious holiday is not persecution. It doesn’t stop u celebrating #firstworldproblems

Thank you Google, your decision to honor Cesar Chavez on Easter makes it easier to switch to Bing.
