Mother Pence just started a new job at a Virginia school. She signed a pledge before being hired.

Karen Pence, wife of Vice President Mike Pence, started at a job this week teaching art at Immanuel Christian School in Northern Virginia. It’s not a school where everyone is welcome. In a “parent agreement” posted online, the school says it will refuse admission to students who participate in or condone homosexual activity. The 2018 employment application also makes candidates sign a pledge not to engage in homosexual activity or violate the “unique roles of male and female.”

“Moral misconduct which violates the bona fide occupational qualifications for employees includes, but is not limited to, such behaviors as the following: heterosexual activity outside of marriage (e.g., premarital sex, cohabitation, extramarital sex), homosexual or lesbian sexual activity, polygamy, transgender identity, any other violation of the unique roles of male and female, sexual harassment, use or viewing of pornographic material or websites,” says the application.

The application says that the school believes “marriage unites one man and one woman” and that “a wife is commanded to submit to her husband as the church submits to Christ.” The application asks potential employees to explain their view of the “creation/evolution debate.”

The “parent agreement” asks parents to cooperate in its “biblical morality” policy. Under this policy, parents are to acknowledge the sanctity of marriage as a strictly heterosexual practice. Families who condone, practice or support “sexual immorality, homosexual activity or bi-sexual activity” go against the principles of the school, per the document.

We the taxpayers pay for the roof over their heads and everything else. Why does she need a job? Isn't that against their religion somehow? Shouldn't Mother be in the kitchen?

High-school teacher. Went to happy hour Friday after work. Wore his badge. Got drunk.

It was when the alcohol-moralism brigade was on overtime duty. How dare a role model engage in behavior that we're trying to dissuade our students from underage drinking and binge drinking?

Now they're fired for things they say on their own time by a different group of self-appointed morality police. For all the same reasons.

They have to change into civilian clothes or go directly home. At least that is the policy. Brown is very careful about its branding. They don't want someone in Brown to act like an idiot at the grocery store or be seen (photos) hammered.

The thought of a woman President was too much for them to handle (especafter a black President). Patriarchy runs strong with them. Trump saved them from the unthinkable and they will be forever grateful. It's that simple.

However, this school goes on and on about it. It's crazy.
