A progressive school in the nation's capital said its students will not be playing sports at the school where Second Lady Karen Pence teaches part-time because of safety concerns.
Jessica Donovan, headmaster of Sheridan School, a K-8 institution located in northwest D.C. that has a tuition of more than $36,000 a year, sent a letter to parents saying Immanuel Christian School's policies were an "obvious challenge" given the school's "fundamental belief in diversity and inclusion."
The initial plan was to make the kids go to the school during away games wearing rainbow socks or warm-up jerseys as a show of LGBTQ support. But instead, Donovan banned the students from playing sports at the Virginia elementary school because some expressed "they feel unsafe" in such an environment.
"As we talked more, we understood that some students did not feel safe entering a school that bans LGBTQ parents, students or even families that support LGBTQ rights," she wrote.
Sheridan is the latest group to target the school after Pence took a part-time job teaching art to students. The NOH8 Campaign, the Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Project, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, and several others attacked her and the school, which says it holds to traditional Christian values when it comes to marriage and other beliefs.

We will win, in the long term, cause thats what free people do... they win.
The children are obviously in charge at that school.
Just how many was “some?”
These academies of elite class school children are where the future “leaders” (i.e., government bureaucrats) are educated before they are sent off to their parent’s ivy league colleges and universities. Sheridan Academy students are not being schooled in the principles of liberty; they are being schooled in compliance SJW norms and that those who do not comply must be shunned, shamed and vilified as heretics to elite liberal dogma.
This little tantrum by Sheridan Academy’s principal is a perfect example of why this class of people with such delicate sensibilities must never, ever hold authority over the lives of Americans.
Preemptive anti Pence strikes in anticipation of 2024.
