This is not the first Easter-related controversy to plague President Joe Biden's administration. -- The White House's decision to ban religious-themed Easter eggs from its art contest has been met with widespread criticism. The contest, which is part of the annual Easter Egg Roll, stipulated that egg designs should not feature any "religious symbols" or "overtly religious themes". This directive was outlined in a flyer distributed by the White House, which stated, "The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes". The contest invites children of National Guard families to decorate an egg template with a snapshot of their life. The winning submissions will be recreated "in real hen eggs by talented egg artists" from across the U.S. and displayed at the White House during the Easter and Passover season. This is not the first time the Biden administration has faced controversy over its handling of Easter-related events. In 2022, a person dressed as the Easter Bunny approached President Biden during a speech about Afghanistan, leading to a confusing scene that drew criticism from various quarters. As the White House prepares for the upcoming Easter season, it remains to be seen how this latest controversy will unfold. -- https://mxmnews.com/article/8efe8259-4095-41d6-9b4d-ac394b80754a?devoted-catholic-joe-biden-bans-easter-eggs-from-easter-art-contest
