White House Bans Religious Easter Eggs From Art Contest
Daily Caller ^ | March 29, 2024 | JULIANNA FRIEMAN

Posted on 03/29/2024 5:48:25 PM PDT by Robwin

The Biden administration banned children from submitting Easter eggs with religious themes for its 2024 “Celebrating National Guard Families” art contest.

The competition, which is part of the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll, explicitly stipulated that egg designs not feature any “religious symbols” on the Christian holiday.

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

The Easter contest asks children of National Guard families to decorate an egg template with “a snapshot of their life – a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your military family, a day-in-your life, etc,” according to the White House flyer. The winning submissions will be recreated “in real hen eggs by talented egg artists” from across the U.S. and “displayed at the White House this Easter and Passover season.”

Yeah, kids, this "snapshot of [your] life" better not contain any recognition of what this day is all about (and it ain't eggs).

Looking at the Democrat Party, it’s more Satan’s Party than anything else.

Suppression of personal beliefs by baby murderers who also mutilate preteens based on a pseudoscientific gender theory. The govt has no right to ban what kids want to put on their Easter eggs. This is simply totalitarianism. To be expected from the liberofascists.

https://islamqa.org/hanafi/muftionline/91252/what-to-do-with-a-free-non-muslim-easter-egg-that-s-halaal/#:~:text=A%3A%20It%20is%20impermissible%20in%20Shari%E2%80%99ah%20to%20accept,not%20commit%20this%20sin%20again%20in%20the%20future.

A: It is impermissible in Shari’ah to accept an Easter egg as a gift. If one had accepted an Easter egg, one should sincerely repent to Allah Ta’ala and make a firm resolve that one will not commit this sin again in the future. If it is possible to return the Easter egg to the non Muslim who had given it, one should do so otherwise one should bury it.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best.
