President Joe Biden’s Democrat administration is taking flak for prohibiting children from submitting Easter eggs featuring religious artwork for a contest.
The event, which is part of the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll, is called “Celebrating National Guard Families” but will not allow submissions to feature symbols related to the holiday that Christians celebrate all over the world, the Daily Caller reported Friday.
The 2024 “Call for Youth Art” flyer said:
On behalf of First Lady Jill Biden, The Adjutants General of the National Guard are asking youth from National Guard families across the United States and all U.S. territories to submit artwork inspired by the theme “Celebrating our Military Families”. Children should depict on an egg template (see Art Submission form) a snapshot of their life – a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your military family, a day-in-your life, etc.
Under its restrictions list, the flyer noted, “The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements.”
Social media users shared their thoughts on the Daily Caller’s story regarding the ban, one person writing, “A snapshot of your life excluding part of your life.”
“They’ll ban religion all together as soon as they think they can get away with it,” someone else said, while another person commented, “What does the Biden White House think Easter is all about? The Easter Bunny?”

In fact I think I'd make Easter Eggs with their images on them, starting with Washington kneeling in prayer.
Biden's first administration is really Obama's third.
??Catholic?? Biden held captive by his mosslimb advisors. Christ is out.
How on earth would someone get religious about Easter? /s
You can celebrate religious holidays so long as the celebration does not involve religion.
Yesterday I saw a young girl helping he mother empty the shopping cart onto the conveyor belt. The little girl who was perhaps 4 or so, carefully lifted the white cake out of the cart and placed in carefully at the far end of the belt. I smiled and asked if it was a birthday cake or an Easter cake. The mother said it was an Easter cake and turned it around so I could she the empty chocolate cross adorned with purple and yellow clothes and the empty tomb. I smile and wish the mother and her two daughter a Happy Easter and was placed that they wished me a Happy Easter as if with one voice.
The weather in DC is supposed to be very stormy tomorrow. I would keep away from the Naval Observatory and the White House on Easter Sundaay.
From Dr. Google:
“The egg itself became a symbol of the Resurrection. Just as Jesus rose from the tomb, the egg symbolized new life emerging from the eggshell. In the Orthodox tradition, eggs are painted red to symbolize the blood that Jesus shed on the cross. The egg-coloring tradition has continued even in modern secular nations.”
From your mouth to God's ears. Happy Easter!

Respectful correction...

Sadly. This man and anyone who voted for him and anyone who still supports him is a heretic.
They are working their way up to outlawing the wearing of a crucifix in public.
Happy Easter to you too, my friend!
One the one hand the Biden admin is surely being anti-Christian regarding an event practiced on a Christian holiday. So much for who the members of the Biden cabal are.
On the other hand, I don’t think eggs, or fake eggs, have any religious signifigance to Christianity, anymore than “the ‘Easter Bunny’ “, at any time, regardless of having become part of “traditions”.
Braindead is a turd that rolls downhill.
“And I’m proud to be an American
Where there’s trans visibility
And I won’t forget the suicides
From Christian bigotry
And I’ll proudly stand up, next to Xer
In my polycule today
Cause there ain’t no doubt, I love gay sex
God bless the USA!”

You cannot celebrate Easter on Easter. But you can celebrate queerdom all you wish!
This being a government sponsored event I don’t think they can legally prohibit such. Muslim or Jewish or Christian or whatever I don’t think they can forbid religious art. I hope someone sues.
Biden the “devout Catholic” is a false prophet who will meet a terrible fate for his Christian hating policies. A very terrible fate.
