The White House has banned children from decorating Easter Eggs with religious messages. The 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. 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. That means no crosses or any mention of the name of Jesus.
“The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes,” the White House stated.
Mike Berry, general counsel at First Liberty Institute, was shocked by the ban on religious Easter Egg designs.
“The Biden Administration is so scared of religion that they won’t even allow children to submit Easter Egg artwork that celebrates the actual reason for Easter, which happens to be one of the holiest days on the Christian calendar,” Berry said.
