Karen Pence Is Working At A School That Bans Gay Employees And Kids

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.

4. They sure do seem to be obsessed with sex. Wonder why?

2. Nauseating.

3. Christian madrassas. A place to teach students how to hate.

21. Bribes to sell out

this country are acceptable?? These people belong in the dark ages, not the enlightened present. Little Mikey looks like he is a closet case, terrified of Mother catching him with a female. He cannot eat alone with a female, or have personal contact, with no others present. What did he do that caused that rule to be imposed in his household? Is that a smokescreen, and he really like the company of people such as Lindsey Graham??

[democratisphere]

5. Figures.

PTL and pass the antigay ammunition!

[Ilsa]

6. That school needs to learn that there is more than one kind of sin.

They seem really hung up on sex, but fail to ask prospective employees if they love God with all their heart, and love their neighbors as themselves.

Do they require them to tell the truth? Refrain from coveting? How exactly, do they practice honoring the Sabbath?

[workinclasszero]

31. Divorce is a sin and churches are full of two or three times married people

Funny the Trump cult doesn't' persecute those folks.

[Ilsa]

34. And not every Christian church

agrees that divorce is a sin, although, remarriage might be. Southern Baptist ministers are not supposed to be remarried after a divorce.

[underpants]

7. Evangelical support for Trump explained

For those wondering why evangelicals still(or ever did) support Trump

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 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.

[CatMor]

9. With trump they took exception ...

and believe with him "marriage unites one man and three women".

[akraven]

11. And the extras on the side. nt

[CatMor]

14. Good one.

[workinclasszero]

32. Porn star trophy wife's are cool too

For "baby Christians" like tRump.

[akraven]

33. Such a "Christian"............... nt

[Scarsdale]

22. Well,

"three women" and counting.

[LibDemAlways]

8. That's the kind of place where the guy in charge

has an addiction to porn, frequents strip clubs, pays for sex, etc. The more sanctimonious, the more hypocritical.

[smirkymonkey]

35. Yep, scratch a religious nutcase, find a sexual deviant.

It's almost always the case. It's not always sexual, but there is almost always something twisted going on with them.

[jmowreader]

10. How many heroes of the Bible wouldn't be allowed to teach in this place?

Just off the top of my head:
Solomon, who had 700 wives and 300 concubines

Lot's daughters, who raped their drunken father

Lot himself, because hardcore fundamentalists see only that he committed incest twice

Gideon - you know, the guy who keeps abandoning his Bible in hotel rooms - had a lot of wives

[mr_lebowski]

12. Presumably you're getting that from King James Bible? James, who was buried next to his long-time

Male Companion, and known by all people around him as fancying men?

[jmowreader]

17. Ah yes...

King James, the most self-loathing gay man in history.

[atreides1]

26. "...most self-loathing gay man in history."

I was thinking that title should belong to Roy Cohn!!

[jmowreader]

29. Roy Cohn didn't commission a Bible

Before King James got his useless mitts on the Bible, the great sin of the Sodomites was inhospitality. They did things like give beggars marked coins, then refused to accept those coins for food purchases...when the guy died of starvation they’d take their money back. The Sodomite Bed was for travelers...and you had to fit perfectly. If you were too short they’d stretch you out and dislocate all your joints in the process; too tall and they cut your legs off. What caused God to send angels to Sodom: a woman gave a beggar bread; when they found out, they coated her in honey and stuck her on the town wall to be eaten by bees.

Then came King James...”cut all that ‘cruelty to fellowman’ shit out and make that story about gay sex.”

[fierywoman]

13. In the "believe nothing, entertain possibilities" thoughts: What if Daddy turned out to be gay?

15. Of Course She is

[jberryhill]

28. took the words out of my mouth

[diva77]

16. I hope someone in the press will score an on camera interview with her and

grill her about this

[safeinOhio]

18. So saith the Lord....

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."

[IcyPeas]

19. and teaching Art of all things

I wonder what kind of art exactly....

statistically some of the students at the school will be gay. I feel very sorry for them.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. "Curiosity" in all thing should be discouraged, beaten down.

Learn by rote.
Praise the lord.

23. Hope no one is surprised by this.

Except for the fact that she has a job so she is not available to protect Mike from being unsupervised with women.

The school that hired Karen Pence requires applicants to disavow gay marriage, trans identity

The school where Vice President Pence’s wife, Karen, has accepted a part-time job teaching art requires potential employees to affirm certain religious beliefs that seek to exclude homosexual and transgender applicants, including that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.

Immanuel Christian School, a private K-8 school in Springfield, Va., outside of Washington, sets forth the position in its employment application for teachers and support staff in a section that requires applicants to initial a set of standards that begins with a promise that they are born-again Christians. ... One of the items is a pledge to “live a personal life of moral purity." ... “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," the section says, saying that God intended sexual acts to occur only between “a man and a woman who are married to each other.”
....

Robert W. Tuttle, a professor of law and religion at George Washington Law School, said that the school’s language on sexuality was typical of conservative Christian institutions, and was not surprised by Pence’s school choice, which he said was well within her rights.

“They have staked out a certain set of positions on issues that are confrontational,” he said of the Trump White House. “The administration seems to live on wedges, so paying attention to this just feeds their interest in driving one more wedge. And this confirms their bona fides with religious conservatives and they sort of seem to do that, because Donald Trump, whatever he might say, is not that.”

30. Mother trying to help Mikey look more relavant by pretending to be like Dr. Jill Biden?

Well, at least she does have some basic talent, enough to draw buildings and landscapes. Good enough for elementary school kids.

However, I thought that that Dominionists thought art, especially any art that could potentially elevate truth with beauty, was one of the Devil's Gateways...that's why they love cartoonish sappy or morality pictures.
