Children of the National Guard are prohibited from submitting religious Easter egg designs for the 2024 “Celebrating National Guard Families” art event at the White House.

The restriction on religious imagery isn't new and isn't from Biden. The rule has been enforced for decades by the government-sponsored organization that hosts White House Easter events.

Why religious-themed egg designs aren’t permitted Although the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll has existed since 1878, the egg design contest for kids started in 2021.

THE ANSWER No, Biden did not ban religious symbols from a White House Easter egg design contest. These rules have been in place for 45 years.
