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.

Obama and Hillary Clinton, who shared so little admiration from “white” evangelicals, are staunch supporters of abortion, Trump, at least now, is against this murder.
Yes, THAT is my litmus test. All other testing comes AFTER the abortion test.
Remember that ATT wants this crap property
“CNN, my go-to source for hypocrisy determinations. /s”
And they’re such excellent judges of morality. I’m surprised they even know how to spell it.
And the God of the Bible stood by King David who had
multiple wives and concubines, committed adultery with
another man's wife and had her husband killed in a battle.
He even had one of his prophets marry a whore just
to demonstrate how filthy he considered Israel to be.
When you start examining the Clinton's and Obama
with the same "christian" scrutiny as you examine President Trump
I'll consider your objections to Pres. Trump as honest and legitimate.
Mr. Clay, on the other hand, comes across completely intolerant and slanderous. Why the axe to grind Mr. Clay? Your problem isn't with the standards of the Pence's. You have a problem with the direction given to us by your Creator. Who, as Creator, has a moral claim on our lives.
“It comes down to this: If the Pences love their God so much, then they would not sit in a White House with a man who shows no moral compass and said he never asks for forgiveness.“
WE DON’T CARE. Does the author care about the morals of the surgeon who operates on him? No. SAME SITUATION: SURVIVAL
I will also add that God chooses very imperfect servants and messengers--as anyone actually familiar with the Bible can tell you. Shall we mention the story of King David and Uriah the Hittite?
Yes, The Donald has many failings--but are Evangelicals really supposed to let liberal crooks who support the murder of the unborn rule us?
If these people don’t like Christian teachings they have a choice not to follow. The question is why do the HATE the ones that choose to be Christians? The Pence’s aren’t forcing anyone to be a Christian or to read or believe the Bible.
Fake news.
Oh yes, it must have been race - it couldn't possibly have had anything to do with things like his extreme pro-abortion policies. These same people will strongly support candidates like Tim Scott, Marco Rubio, etc. over white liberals but "race is a huge reason" they did not support Obama.
And this kind of stupid commentary passes for intelligent, rationale thought in some circles.
“moral purity” - as terrifying to Democrats as crosses are to vampires......
Haha! You got that right! Honestly they seem scared to death of Christian beliefs.
It appears that CNN is taking a cue from Lady (cough, hack) Gaga who made similar remarks about the Pences a week or so ago. All these fine people don’t believe in our right to freedom of religion.
Great point.
It’s all about cultural Communism. Bestiality is the next frontier. Sheep are oppressed by humans, after all. They need love, the lib/commies will say.
YUP, crazy as a Muslim is he.
A private school doesn’t want a freak show of mentally ill students (or mentally ill parents affecting the students) to turn normal kids into freaks.
That is common sense. Private schools need to be left alone.
The sad part is that some editor approved this piece. “Looks great! Print it!”
‘they would head to their favorite pizza joint to eat and drink mugs of beer’
they would do no such thing; they would drink mugs of autumnal meads...
Hey Clay,
The argument is not with Mike and Karen Pence. Take up your issues with God. He wrote the book that we believe as total, complete and absolute truth without equivocation. Oh, and by the way, you may want to wear your asbestos suit when you confront God about that (although it won’t do you one bit of good!!!!!). Have a blessed day!!
The author of this hit piece can’t be Muslim. He’s a gay activist.
