In a surprising development, President Joe Biden's administration has stirred controversy by prohibiting children from showcasing religious Easter egg artwork for an egg-themed contest. The White House has implemented a strict ban on the inclusion of any religious symbols in submissions for the "Celebrating National Guard Families" event, which is part of the annual Easter Egg Roll. The Daily Caller has brought to light this ban on religious imagery associated with the globally observed Christian holiday, sparking dissatisfaction among some individuals.
The 2024 "Call for Youth Art" flyer, endorsed by First Lady Jill Biden and The Adjutants General of the National Guard, invited young artists from National Guard families across the U.S. and its territories to submit artwork inspired by the theme "Celebrating our Military Families." However, there's a caveat – the artwork must refrain from incorporating any religious symbols or overtly religious themes. It's enough to make one exclaim, "Oh, for peep's sake!"

The news has ignited discussions across social media platforms. Some have pointed out the irony of requesting a glimpse into someone's life while excluding such a significant aspect of it. Concerns have been raised that this decision could be a precursor to a broader ban on religion altogether. Can you imagine? And someone posed the pertinent question: "What does the Biden White House believe Easter is all about? The Easter Bunny?"
But hold on, there's more! The White House intends to reintroduce its "EGGucation" theme for the Easter Egg Roll, with First Lady Jill Biden at the helm. This event will feature various activities including a reading nook, picture area, farm field trip, STEAM school, and a snack area. It's an all-encompassing affair that aims to cover a wide range of interests.
And if that wasn't enough to boggle the mind, Breitbart News has reported that the cost of eggs (as well as chocolate) is soaring due to inflation and supply chain disruptions during the Biden administration. It's akin to a shell game, but with our finances!
It's perplexing why the White House would dismiss the inclusion of religious imagery in an event that has been a cherished tradition since 1878. Nonetheless, we can anticipate an enlightening educational experience and some pricey chocolate eggs. Thanks a lot, Biden administration!
