FRC: “Biden Banished Christianity” From Easter Egg Roll

April 2, 2024 Christianists, Hate Groups

From the Family Research Council’s website:

For all his campaign ads about passing historic legislation, President Joe Biden’s most impactful legacy might be his alteration of America’s spiritual life. Late last week, the Biden administration prohibited children from expressing their Christian faith while redesignating Easter Sunday as the “Transgender Day of Visibility.” Biden literally banished Christianity from a children’s contest celebrating its most joyful holiday while exalting a radical and harmful ideology in its place.

The Biden administration’s revolution began where all revolutions begin: with children. The 2024 “Celebrating National Guard Families” art contest, which is part of the White House Easter Egg Roll, asks children of servicemembers to submit designs for Easter eggs — but not any that highlight the actual content of Easter. The contest’s flyer instructs children they “must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements.”

These rules, overseen by the nation’s “devout Catholic” president, stigmatize the majority of Americans, who believe in God. They also prohibit the families of servicemembers, who stand ready to deploy into combat at a moment’s notice, of the free exercise of their religion. The instructions ask children to depict “a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your military family, a day-in-your life, etc.” But what if the child’s “favorite activity” is exclaiming, “Christ is risen!” in church Easter morning?

Read the full article. As has been widely reported, the rules of the Easter Egg Roll have been in place for 45 years, including, therefore, during the Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, and Trump administrations.
