All Kids Invited to White House Easter Egg Roll, Provided They Attend Public School

By Doug Powers  •  March 24, 2010 11:21 AM

I’m sure this was just an oversight:

(CNSNews.com) – 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.”

“That’s a great question, and I’d answer it if your kids went to a public school.”

So does this mean that Obama’s own daughters won’t be invited to attend the Easter Egg Roll?

In other news, this year’s Easter Egg Roll might not be private-school friendly, but it is going to be environmentally-friendly. Yes, that’s right! The days of the asbestos-filled, coal-powered eggs and the environmentally hazardous egg-rollers that run on diesel fuel are coming to a merciful end.

It’s about time. Just so you can see what a difference it makes, here are the environmentally-friendly eggs that will be used at Obama’s Easter Egg Roll:

And here are the eggs that George W. Bush used in 2002:

    They’ll be there. Michelle my belle will want them to run some of that fat off.
    Besides, the O-kids don’t have to play by the same rules that other kids do.

    I’m surprised. I thought they’d all be red.

    Conspicuous in its absence, I suppose.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but those “green” eggs look like plastic. After ’12 most will end up in the landfill and will take something like 2,000 years to decompose.

    I’d bet that an egg that came out the back of a chicken has a smaller carbon footprint than one that is “made from paperboard that contains no wood fibers from endangered forests, is recyclable and features vegetable-oil based inks and a water-based coating.”

    Really? OH, please. Simply a feeble attempt at humor. Why suggest such an awful thing?

    Yes, reserving tickets vice the traditional standing in line to get tickets is a change. But, has standing in line been totally and completely illiminated? An opportunity was lost to ask or address this question. How many total tickets will there be? Yep, another opportunity lost to ask and address this question.

    The Studmuffin works at HQMC and brought home a sign up sheet asking if we wanted to go this year.

    When I found out that there were going to be “cooking stations” and FLOTUS was going to be on scene hectoring everyone about “eating healthy” and “moving it”, my first impulse was “no thanks!”.

    In the end, I think we were too melanin deficient to rate tickets.
