A U.S. House Republican leader pressed Chicago Public Schools for answers about its anti-discrimination policies this week after a Christian college recently accused the employer of religious discrimination against its student teachers.
In the letter, an advanced copy of which was provided exclusively to The College Fix, U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg raised concerns about the public school system compelling Moody Bible Institute “to abandon its Biblically-based doctrinal positions” on human sexuality.

What a guy!
The answer is 100% school choice and we all know it-except for the rinos.

Take the exclusion as a blessing.
There no longer exists in America a consensus of commonly held decent values to unite. The Democrats that control urban strongholds like Chicago bitterly hate those that believe and practice Christianity. Yet they will demand that these hard working Christian taxpayers subsidize their hate.
A Christian teacher would look at it as a mission field.
Ditto. 100 percent school choice. Kill the beast. No prisoners. Good teachers will thrive in a choice ecosystem.
And show nothing but support, love, and affection for those who practice Islam.
Board of Education throwing away taxpayer money on yet another attack on First Amendment.
Followed by Board of Education appeals for more money.
OK, but Congress needs to enact stronger legal protection for victims of leftist religious discrimination.
“A Christian teacher would look at it as a mission field.”
Yes. You have to go to where the sinners are.

Fair point. But then I would suggest that such a person consider a Chicago youth ministry instead.
A big city public school district is very hard on idealists. And I should know - I taught in one for decades. If you’re not cynical going in, you will be going out.
