Dirty Little Secrets: Karen Pence Is Working At A School That Bans LGBTQ Employees And Kids

The school discriminates against LGBTQ people in its job application and says LGBTQ kids aren’t welcome.

By Rebecca Klein

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."

In other words my friends, Karen Pence is just as much a dangerous threat to the country as her Husband is. Think about that for a moment should Trump be forced to resign and Mike Pence be CROWNED President. What kind of FLOTUS would Karen Pence be then?

Do we want a Christian version of Sharia Law?

2. Here's a snip from the contract.

“I understand that the school reserves the right, within its sole discretion, to refuse admission to an applicant or to discontinue enrollment of a student if the atmosphere or conduct within a particular home, the activities of a parent or guardian, or the activities of the student are counter to, or are in opposition to, the biblical lifestyle the school teaches,” the agreement states.

‘This includes, but is not limited to contumacious behavior, divisive conduct, and participating in, supporting, or condoning sexual immorality, homosexual activity or bi-sexual activity, promoting such practices, or being unable to support the moral principles of the school. (Lev. 20:13 and Romans 1:27.) I acknowledge the importance of a family culture based on biblical principles and embrace biblical family values such as a healthy marriage between one man and one woman. My role as spiritual mentor to my children will be taken seriously.”

None of the religious folk in my family are this ugly. How many evil clowns can you cram into the presidential limousine?

It seems incongruous that she would be promoting that. I hope that makes sense.

Oh hell, just realize that Pence is after all a real Mother Fucker.

They don’t accept people who promote divisiveness or a lifestyle of immorality!! Would a pervert pedophile who has sex with women not his wife while married be welcome there?

He got saved while they laid hands on him during the election campaign. He's a "baby Christian" now. I'm totally sure that his long streak of immorality is behind him.

Christians believe there are only certain reasons why you can divorce. According to their faith are they living in sin?
