Biden White House BANS religious imagery from Easter egg art contest

Quote:Children of National Guard families are invited to submit Easter egg designs to the White House for the annual "egg roll" party—so long as those designs are not at all religious. Easter, of course, is the key holiday in the Christian liturgical calendar. The entire purpose of the holiday is to celebrate the resurrection of the Christian lord and savior Jesus Christ who, according to liturgy, died to take away the sins of the world.

For the Biden White House, however, Christianity is irrelevant to Easter. This year, on behalf of First Lady Jill Biden, the White House has declared that any religious symbolism on the eggs, the symbol of rebirth representing Jesus' resurrection, would not be permitted.

Restrictions include that "The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements."

One wonders what they think the holiday is intended to celebrate.

"Celebrating Easter is one of the oldest time-honored traditions at the White House," the flier to National Guard families reads. "Since 1878, American presidents and their families have celebrated Easter Monday by hosting an 'egg roll' party. Held on the South Lawn, it is one of the oldest annual events in White House history. It has changed and evolved through the years and each First Family has put their stamp on the popular event."

America's Egg Farmers present "an intricately decorated Commemorative Easter Egg to the First Lady of the United States" every year, and have done for 50 years. The flier continues to not that "In 2021, the White House expanded on this longstanding tradition by displaying youth-designed Easter eggs in the White House East Colonnade."

The call for submissions, however, undermines the entire holiday. The artwork, which is meant to "celebrate" military families, was not be permitted to have any reference to Easter. Suggestions for submissions include "a snapshot of [the children's] life - a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your military family, a day-in-your life, etc."

The winning submissions "will be brought to life on real hen eggs by talented egg artists from across the country and displayed at the White House this Easter and Passover season."

In addition to standard conditions that the design must not be "inappropriate, indecent, obscene hateful, tortious, defamatory, slanderous or libelous," and that it "must not contain material that promotes bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age," are the prohibition on "religious symbols, overtly religious themes."

The Biden White House has pushed diversity, equity, and inclusion for minorities and LGBTQ groups, but has declined to uphold pride or appreciation for Christian religions or those who practice that faith. The Christmas display at the White House, organized by First Lady Biden, had no reference at all to the meaning of the holiday and was instead a jazzy performance art interpretation of the Nutcracker by a dance troupe that promotes anti-white values.

that's all you had to type for emphasis...

and Ja!, it's accurate (hence the hashtag .. #whiffedItByAdecade)

please, stop responding to CP's full posts ... it's easier to keep focus by calling out the poster or assuming the OP is 'if not' ... it's simply more effective unless one is embedded in the trenches with certain souls ...

What would happen if you declared this for Eid al-Fitr to end Ramadan?

I think it's pretty clear that Jesus was not heteronormative. The Bible clearly states that he traveled around with a group of men, didn't have a wife, never fathered children, and constantly made references to how much he loved his disciples .... the aforementioned to men. Especially John. This is all in the Bible.

Then there's Jesus washing the "loved" disciples feet. Why the focus on feet? Not suggesting anything just curious.

John 13:23 - "One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him."
- This verse referring to the "disciple whom Jesus loved" has been interpreted as suggesting a possible intimate relationship between Jesus and this disciple (often identified as John).

John 19:26-27 - "When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold, your son!' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home."
Similarly, this verse about Jesus entrusting his mother to the "disciple whom he loved" has been seen as indicating a special, potentially romantic relationship.

Matthew 19:12 - "For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it."
This verse about eunuchs has been interpreted as Jesus accepting or affirming those who are non-heterosexual or celibate.
