Obama Excludes Private and Catholic School Children From Easter Egg Roll Ticket Giveaway

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.”

"Welcome, children, to our first annual Spring Peace-Orb Roll! This year we will be holding our breaths as we roll the orbs, in order to save the planet from the evil carbon dioxide we breathe!"

That’ll be a huge savings in Holy Water, Scapulars, Rosaries, St. Benedict and Miraculous Medals.

And the continuous praying of the St. Michael Prayer.
The original, long version.

I’m surprised he doesn’t have them searching Planned Parenthood for former eggs... Nancy’s got to have her facial treatments.

I take that back, it’s beneath me.

And this site.

You know how it is, use and destroy Christian souls for your humanist against humanity progroms (aided by Soros’ obstinate catholics and world council of churches ilk), dispense with them later.

Lord, it’s been a year... this fig tree’s not bearing good fruit; Would Ps. 109:8 be a suggestion? Oh, and can they pull straws instead of Biden?

Our president is such a Christian.

Once again i’d like to thank Notre Dame for the invitation.
See how they love one another.

Not a homeschooling ping, but of interest to those who keep an eye on school issues.

Why am I not surprised? The Narcissist's face will soon be adoring ( oops! adorning ) the One Dollar Bill. ( History, you see, didn't exist before 1870.)

Well if I had children, this Catholic would not set foot on the WH ground for an Easter Egg Hunt.

I prefer Billy Tyler spending Easter with loved ones who do not view his birth as a punishment.

They do; however, when it comes to tests that liberals can skew, such as the tests required for admission to the so-called "gifted and talented" programs of the NYC public schools, they don't do as well as they could because they are put into intentionally selected adverse testing conditions compared to the conditions into which children who already attend public schools are placed.

I love your comment although I do not think any families of public school students in DC pay taxes. So the kids whose parents are footing the bill are expressly excluded. Welcome to our new reality.

Private individuals should take the kiddies to the Washington Monument grounds and have their own “Freedom Egg Roll”. It would be great if 10’s of thousands showed up to the real egg roll. Also, don’t invite the nobamas.

I wouldn’t want my children there, anyway, if I lived in DC.

As a Christian I am offended that they use the word Easter in this secular-political event.

It all about eggs and bunnies don't you know... /sarc

I don’t see how any Catholic could ever vote for a Democrat.

My mother teaches at a Catholic School, I would say better then 90% of the parents at her school voted Democrat, and have for years. Makes no sense to me either.
