Bidens ban religious themes for White House’s Easter art contest

71

The Biden Administration’s “Celebrating National Guard Families” art contest for children must not contain religious symbols this Easter. The contest is part of the White House Easter Egg Roll celebrations on Sunday.

“On behalf of First Lady Jill Biden, The Adjutants General of the National Guard are asking youth from National Guard families across the United States and all U.S. territories to submit artwork inspired by the theme “Celebrating our Military Families”. Children should depict on an egg template (see Art Submission form) a snapshot of their life – a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your military family, a day-in-your life, etc.”

A snapshot of your life, of course, if your life does not include your religious faith. The rules for the contest are found at this link.

On Friday, President Joe Biden announced that Sunday, March 31, is Transgender Day of Visibility. While religious themes or symbols cannot be submitted by children, there’s nothing saying they can’t submit art on transgender themes.
