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.

Thank you, very informative.
I blame that excrement Obama for this insanity. This country is permanently divided and I never see closure in our future.
Sounds to me like the little homosexuals and “transgenders” are afraid of religious straight kids. I don’t blame them. Truth is a hard thing to have to face up to.
No, there was no discussion of what exactly they were afraid of. They don’t know what they are afraid of. They have been brainwashed to think that Christian institutions are automatically bad or evil.
where the muggers and sexual deviates dwell.
Progressives= Paranoia
And in the District, Virginian Christian school students can get attacked for smiling while white.
Exactly.
Personally, I don’t think decent, religious kids should be forced to play sports against these weirdo types.
They should feel unsafe.
Unsafe from the wrath of God when they despise his people.
WINNER!
I think Pence’s students might fear going to a school that has a soft spot for sexual predators.
One can only hope that conservatives realize this is not about a sports match. This is another tactic of the Left to chip away at Christian values. Using the combination of fear and compassion, with supportive coverage by the media, has resulted in one victory after another for the Left.

Makes me think of the opening scene from the movie Enemy at the Gates where the Soviet officers force their troops into battle at gunpoint.

The Progressive School that excludes the Children of Parents who can not afford to pay the $3,600 Annual Tuition.
Elitist Bigots, the worst kind because they hide their true feelings behind a mask of “inclusion”.
Well, bye!
No, it is not illegal for a private, hard-shell liberal school to discriminate against a Christian school. But we are seeing it more and more as haters take control of the public square.
And, of course, we saw it recently in the U.S. Senate where a hide-bound radical attempted to impose a religious test on a judicial candidate. That was an unconstitutional, anti-American move that brings to mind the presidential oath requiring him to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
“Unsafe”, in that they cannot allow themselves or their sports teams to enter a building where one person works who is said to potentially have opinions that differ from theirs, even though she is unlikely to be in the building during he sporting events. They are psychotically desperate to pretend that they are victims, at all times and in as many ways as possible.
“The Progressive School that excludes the Children of Parents who can not afford to pay the $3,600 Annual Tuition.”
More like $36,000. Perhaps they waive the tuition for the children of illegal immigrants and rednecks.
Well I feel unsafe having my kids exposed to fags, queers, trannys and the rest of the alphabet freaks. I would put a sign on the door banning these freaks.
