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.
Why exclude children in private and parochial schools, asked the father of a parochial school student at Tuesday’s press conference where U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and District of Columbia Mayor Adrian Fenty announced the ticket giveaway.
“These tickets are from the White House to public schools, and we’re appreciative, but there may be other things unrelated to this press conference,” Fenty responded. “That’s a great question.”

I thought private and homeschooled students score higher on standardized tests, as a group.
That was probably back when abortion was unthinkable, not merely an alternative form of birth control.
>> What an egg head!
Mean spirited.
The Press won’t come and probably will report that they snubbed the WH egg hunt. No matter how you turn it; ‘despicable’ is waiting.
So is he even excluding his own daughters who go to an exclusive private school in DC?
And the persecution begins — too bad he has to pick on children!
Man, if I were a private schooler in the area, I would help organize the biggest roll! We’d have REAl eggs, and candy, and have the greatest time! I’d also invite lots of GOOD Senators and Congressmen. They’d show.
I’m telling you, it would get press! And the kids would have so much fun.
Catholics did not vote for Obortion O. They knew better.
I can’t speak likewise for the CINOs. They voted for him.
But not the REAL Catholics.
Please stop you misinformation distribution.
Send the info to Rush, Hannity, Savage, Beck, Malkin. Exposure is all these slimes fear.
Christians don’t believe in the Easter Bunny anyway. Good riddance to pagan festivals.
“So the Obama kids won’t be invited, I guess.”
Touche’. Zer0T is letting his anti-Christian bias see the light of day more now. Arrogance? Intentional? Signals to his Muzzie brothers? For consumption by political allies and foes?
hand painted grenades?
As far as I know, parents of Catholic School children pay taxes that support events like the Easter Egg roll, just like parents of Public School kids.
To Joe Biden’s chagrin I guess he is exempt from the Easter egg roll on two counts, since he unfortunately too old and Catholic.
that event has been taken over by sodomites.
-that event has been taken over by sodomites.-
Too true.

Thanks for the ping.
Keeps getting clearer & clearer.
“Please stop you misinformation distribution”
If you are Catholic then you should respect the truth about things. This is not misinformation.I read about it on this forum. It had been a subject for months.

“...CHA president Sr. Carol Keehan and LCWR sparked an uproar this week after they came out definitively in favor of the Senate health care bill, which top pro-life organizations such as the National Right to Life Committee and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, in addition to countless others, have strongly condemned as unacceptable for its abortion funding provisions. Since then, in their quest to woo the final pro-life Democrat holdouts among House lawmakers, party leaders have attempted to paint CHA’s support for the bill as a bona fide endorsement from the Catholic community.
So far, the president’s strategy appears to have paid off: some lawmakers have evidently already taken the two groups’ endorsements as an excuse to switch their vote.”

Catholic Hospitals Support Obama Bill
The head of the national association of Catholic hospitals, which holds great sway in the health care debate, threw her support Saturday behind the contested Senate reform bill in a move that could give a major boost to the legislation’s prospects.
But the endorsement of Sister Carol Keehan, president of the Catholic Health Association, could also put the nun and her organization at odds with the Catholic hierarchy, which continues to oppose the bill due to its provision on abortion coverage.
Since the election and during the buildup toward health care reform, Sister Carol Keehan and the Catholic Health Association she leads have come up for sharp criticism from prolife advocates. For her public support of the president’s pro-abortion appointees to her campaign to enact health care reform now, she is accused of being at odds with the USCCB and the prolife cause, both of which have serious reservations about current health care proposals.”
Here is a quote by one of the posters of FR on this column:
The whole thing beats me; 52% of Catholics actually voted for Obama. Then again, that’s a lot better than my tribe, about 80% of whom voted for this incompetent.
