White House Bans ‘Religious’ Easter Eggs

Post by Denise » Fri Mar 29, 2024 12:00 pm

he Biden Administration had invited the children of National Guard families to submit artwork for a competition that is part of the annual Easter Egg Roll.

“Children of National Guard families across the United States are encouraged to submit artwork inspired by the theme ‘Celebrating our Military Families.’ Children should depict on an egg template a snapshot of their life – a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your military family, a day-in-your life,” read a pamphlet promoting the contest.

The winning entries will be displayed at the White House in the East Colonnade.

However, the submission guidelines strictly prohibit any religious symbols or themes – even though the winning egg designs will be displayed throughout Easter and Passover.

“The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes,” the White House stated.

That means no crosses or any mention of the name of Jesus.

Mike Berry, general counsel at First Liberty Institute, was shocked by the ban on religious Easter Egg designs.

Egg artwork that celebrates the actual reason for Easter, which happens to be one of the holiest days on the Christian calendar,” Berry said.

Without the resurrection of Jesus, the White House Easter Egg Roll would basically be an event celebrating poultry. Leave it to President Biden to lay a giant egg like this at Easter.
