CNS News<\/a> is reporting today that the White House Easter Egg Roll<\/a> has been turned into a “Let’s Move!<\/a> Social.” Good grief.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

An e-mail from the “Let’s Move!” campaign says the Easter<\/a> Egg Roll has been turned into a “Let’s Move! Social”:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We’re excited to announce that our next White House<\/a> Social will be a\u00a0Let’s Move!<\/i> Social here, at the White House. On Monday, April 1st, 2013, the First Family will host the 135th annual\u00a0White House Easter Egg Roll<\/a> with the theme ‘Be Healthy, Be Active, Be You!'”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The First Lady’s<\/a> “followers” will be there to preach to kids about their eating habits:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are inviting\u00a0Let’s Move!<\/i> followers on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and their children, ages 5 – 13, to join the fun on the South Lawn<\/a> and of course to share their experience with their followers!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Easter itself is not a Christian holiday<\/a>–it is a pagan holiday, so I can’t accuse the White House of messing with Christianity. However, I can accuse them of messing with tradition. To me, the arrogance here is to think that what they are doing is so important that they are going to preempt a tradition to preach to innocent young children who only came to roll Easter eggs on the White House lawn.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it is just amazing to see how self-important our current first family is.<\/p>\n
