Obama Excludes Private and Catholic School Children From Easter Egg Roll Ticket Giveaway
CNS News ^ | 3/24/10 | Penny Starr

Posted on 03/24/2010 8:54:11 AM PDT by reaganrevolutionin2010

The Obama administration announced on Tuesday it has reserved 3,000 free tickets to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll for students in D.C.-area public and charter schools, but not for children who attend private or parochial schools.(snip)

The 3,000 reserved tickets will be distributed to students at 11 public schools in D.C. and a few others in Virginia and Maryland. Children at private or parochial schools in the Washington metropolitan area may attend the April 5 event, but only if they are among the people who registered for an online lottery system, by which the remaining free tickets -- an estimated 27,000 -- will be distributed.

Apparently it is okay for the Enlightened Elite to practice discrimination in passing out taxpayer funded favors.

I guess the parents of the children attending private and Catholic schools don't pay taxes.

Good news. Those children will not be inculcated in the worship of government. One can have an existence independent of the government and its power. Do your own Easter thing.

I cannot wait until the greasy, wet turd and his family are out of the White House once and for all.

What a cancer in America.

How fortunate for the school children.

The WH staff couldn’t PAY me to attend their egg roll let alone an EASTER event.

Who cares.

If I was a Mom with kids at a Catholic School (I am assuming parents with kids at Catholic Schools are practicing Catholics).
I would not want my child attending an event sponsered by the culture of death.

We need to find out. This is just more proof that Obama is trying to divide this country along class, religion and race.

An Obama outrage an hour since January 20,2009.

De-Selecting mostly Christian children from mostly Christian schools to an event that occurs in conjunction with a Christian holiday-

Priceless

Sending kids to an Easter Egg roll while a Marxist is in the WH sends the wrong message anyway. Wait until we get back to normal in 2012. In the meantime, do one in the neighborhood.

Were madrassas excluded also? That would not shock me one bit. Invite the mooselimbs to Easter Sunday at the expense of the Christians.

Vicious political gesturing by the communist staffers at the Occupied White House.

100% of democrat party politicians in Washington on the Volga send their evil brats to private schools. I am sure that some tickets were reserved for these politician’s kids.

I can’t fathom any Muslim child being allowed to attend the Easter Egg Roll affair nor, as the parent of a child in the Christian education system, would I, under the present leadership, want my child to participate. I don’t want to comment any further on why that would be.

As a kid, we dyed eggs together, as a family. I continued that with my own child (until he was 20, per his request). The eggs were hidden (some easy, some hard to find) and always lead to a beautiful basket on the dining room table. I still have memories of waking on Easter morning with a beautifully colored egg nestled in “grass” on the table beside my bed. It would lead me through the set number I needed to find and then to the dining room table.

My family doesn’t need to traipse around a park or the White House lawn to pick up plastic eggs, we just filled our own homes with the joy of Easter, the love of family and controlled the sugar high as we saw fit. ;-) Christians should boycott the WH event and let the little heathens pick up all the commercially hyped crap the government is handing out.

Christians in the West consider Easter (called Pasqau everywhere else) to be about the Resurrection of Christ. Obama, wants it to be about him. Children in Parochial schools know the truth.

Why is he celebrating Easter? And if you are going to have an EASTER egg hunt and pass out free tickets, the FIRST kids to get those tickets are kids in Catholic and Christian schools. The public schools are not permitted to participate in any Christian holiday so therefore they should receive NO tickets. Isn’t their participation in an EASTER celebration akin to acknowledging the existence of Christ and the Resurrection?

I would be surprised if he continues referring to it as the “Easter” egg roll. Maybe something less offensive, or more muslim would be more to his liking.
