Karen Pence, the wife of America's vice president, Mike Pence will be teaching art at a Christian school in Virginia that bans LGBTQ children and requires employees to declare their religious beliefs. Like a real-life setting for "The Handmaid's Tale," Immanuel Christian School insists applicants initial a pledge to "live a personal life of moral purity."
Listen to what else the pledge says: "I understand that the term 'marriage' has only one meaning; the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive covenant union as delineated in Scripture." It asserts that God intended sexual acts only between "a man and a woman who are married to each other." It identifies "moral misconduct" that would disqualify employees as premarital sex, cohabitation, extramarital sex, homosexual or lesbian sexual activity, polygamy, transgender identity, any other violation of the unique roles of male and female." This language is disgusting and insults millions of taxpaying American citizens, many who have served their country. That it is acceptable to the wife of the man who is a heartbeat away from the presidency should horrify and alarm all Americans.
Karen and Mike Pence are conservative, evangelical Christians who share beliefs about religion and politics. They have every right to do this. ("It's absurd that her decision to teach art to children at a Christian school, and the school's religious beliefs, are under attack," said Kara Brooks, a spokeswoman for Pence.) But consider Mike Pence's position of power in this country: He regularly stands shoulder to shoulder with his boss, Donald Trump. He has access to and can influence a President who is very interested in maintaining support among evangelicals.

That it is acceptable to the wife of the man who is a heartbeat away from the presidency should horrify and alarm all Americans.
Funny, l find it reassuring.
Looks great! The school embraces and promotes biological reality. Why should anyone trust an educational system that is run instead by science deniers?
Disturbingly, as he left the White House, President Barack Obama enjoyed the favorable view of only 24% of white evangelicals.
Not AFAIC. Values were the issue with me. soebarkah's are Kenyan by birth, and enemy islamist by heart...which allows for the taqiyya of homosexuality.
My values emanate from the God of Abraham, Issac and Israel, who judges us all, and without Whom we would not be here to consider.
How Sex Workers Taught Me to Hustle

Twenty years ago, Friday and Species were blowing up at the box office. Groove Theorys Tell Me and Notorious B.I.Gs One More Chance (Remix) were in heavy rotation on my Sony Walkman. I had just graduated from high school in Philadelphia and was finally dealing with my sexuality. This was the summer sex workers taught me how to hustle.
Despite struggles with unreachable standards of black masculinity since childhood, the challenges with my sexual orientation nearly vanished when I felt the lips of another guy for the first time. I was Sleeping Beauty, awakened from my repression with a kiss (I know, so gay). Only afteras Dionne Farris sang in her mid-90s cut, Passiondid everything become crystal clear.
During the summer of 1995, my friends and I were constant fixtures on 13th Street in Philadelphia. Before the City of Brotherly Love was gentrified, the strip was known as Freak Street, especially after midnight, which was when most of the white gays headed home and the black and Latino LGBT kids held court. We were street urchins who terrified the white gay community and black heterosexuals. We didnt believe in same-sex marriage; we thought there should be no marriage. We proudly called ourselves dykes, trannys, fags, queens, butches, and dragsall unacceptable language in todays PC culture.
A radical “queer” (his term, not mine) who wanted to end ALL marriage and monogamy.
His lectures on “morality” suck as much as he does.
While I'm not a fan of, nor advocate a condition of shtf, sometimes I find myself wondering whether what we're living through now is actually better than a time when the SHTF.
By that I mean that at least when the SHTF you'll know who's who and what's what. All of the current deception, spin, gas-lighting, posing, lying, prevarication and yes, hypocrisy, will be washed away in waves of refreshing reality.
agreed... if CNN is horrified I am comfortable with that. Means that it is the right thing

Damn hat pesky Fourth Amendment!
People hang out with who they want, and they have a right to set some standards in their community.
People who make certain life choices, can also form associations and only meet with who they choose.
What a hard thing for some folks to grasp.
It’s really an unbiased statement.
It sets limits on everyone. That’s not some sorce of narrowly focused demands from one group.
“But consider Mike Pence’s position of power in this country: He regularly stands shoulder to shoulder with his boss, Donald Trump. He has access to and can influence a President who is very interested in maintaining support among evangelicals.”
Hey, we would hope so. It’s why we elected him.
And they should be allowed to share those beliefs with each other, but only in the privacy of a work camp where they are fed 600 calories per day are made to work 12 hours a day. And of course, where they lay on the whip liberally! (/CNN and liberal)
[ Like a real-life setting for “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Immanuel Christian School insists applicants initial a pledge to “live a personal life of moral purity.” ]
Oh and CNN’s love for importing hundreds of thousands of Muslims into this country is not going to result in “A Handmaid’s Tale” at all, only instead of the handmaids only giving birth to babies they will also have their external genitals sliced off when they are young girls and be treated several times worse....
Of course the left thinks they will be able to “Tame the Islamic beast” as they have “Tamed the Christian Lion”....
They won’t be able to because Islam relies on terror and the leftists will immediately cuck to it as they have in europe already.
It was also Obamas support of gay marriage and his continued denigrating of America. Evangelicals believe Gods hand was in the American Revolution and continued to guide America. Obama denied anything extraordinary about America, Michelle was only proud of America when Obama was elected. Obama characterized evangelicals as bitter clingers etc. Why would evangelicals support him, after all the most beautiful sound was the Muslim call to prayer.
Poor CNN, they have their panties in a twist again. Someone tell those knuckleheads, “it’s a church for Pete’s sake!” I don’t see you arguing for LGBTQ-mouse inclusion at the local Mosque!
The story suggests that Christian schools are closed to various perverse people working and studying there.
Do not Jewish and muslin schools have similar rules?
I think you’ve forgotten Obama’s time in the gay bath houses & multiple gay lovers. Rev Wright and his advise to his gay parishioners, “get yourselves a beard”.
President Trump had 3 wives. I have not seen anything that suggested he had affairs until he was separated or living separately from a current wife.
I think you are the hypocrite, examining POTUS with a magnifying glass and giving the prior President nary a glance.
