Obama Excludes Private and Catholic School Children From Easter Egg Roll Ticket Giveaway

The Obama administration announced on Tuesday it has reserved 3,000 free tickets to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll for students in D.C.-area public and charter schools, but not for children who attend private or parochial schools.

Why exclude children in private and parochial schools, asked the father of a parochial school student at Tuesday’s press conference where U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and District of Columbia Mayor Adrian Fenty announced the ticket giveaway.

“These tickets are from the White House to public schools, and we’re appreciative, but there may be other things unrelated to this press conference,” Fenty responded. “That’s a great question.”

They deal in bombs, not Easter Eggs.

Obama is probably afraid he would just confuse them.

They can have “Easter.” I call the day what it IS: Resurrection Day.

Color me so unsuprised. The mini-me fascists in the NYC school department do the same thing, in effect, with the so-called "gifted and talented" testing - if you come from a parochial school, they actively set up the testing conditions to ensure that your child scores at the retard level, or lower.

Why call it the EASTER egg event? Let’s just rename it the Vernal Equinox Festivus and get it over with.

And last year Obama went out of his way to include children of gay and lesbian couples. This article doesn't mention if they were invited/included this year, but I'm sure you can guess...

And if we see pictures of Sasha and Malia at the egg rool, we should all scream to high Heaven and point out the hypocrisy.

“...how any Catholic could ever vote for a Democrat”

Used to be the most natural thing in the world for solid working class Catholics such as my grandparents, only a generation removed from Ellis Island, to vote Democrat. It was only later on that the Dem party became the avatar of the breakdown in values.

When I recall those times (through Grandma’s retelling them), it seemed the most natural thing in the world was to work hard, pay as you go, attend church, join a lodge, raise the children to carry on moral values, and vote for the `party of the little guy’, although it would eventually become the `party of the wealthy liberal hypocrite’.

Then Ronald Reagan came on the scene and we discovered the real champion of ordinary folks.

Oversimplified but true, IMO.

...said the eggs at this year’s April 5 roll will be made from paperboard that contains no wood fibers from endangered forests, is recyclable and features vegetable-oil based inks and a water-based coating.

I can breath a little easier knowing that!

“In keeping with the Administration’s stand on abortion, this year’s event will be called the ‘Easter Egg Smash.’”

Inviting Muslim schools to an Easter Egg Roll?

The private and Catholic schools should have an egg roll for their students nearby.

Invite the press.
