The school discriminates against LGBTQ people in its job application.

Karen Pence started at a job this week, teaching art at Immanuel Christian School in Northern Virginia. It’s not a school where very everyone is welcome. The 2018 employment application, posted online, 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.

I think she can be excused because her husband talks to God.

Not surprising, she and her husband have a long standing tone of intolerance and bigotry. Working somewhere that has this sort of policy is damn near expected.

Hope her husband never applies. Not sure I've ever seen anybody deeper in the closet.

Unless she is gay I'm not seeing a problem nor am I seeing anything noteworthy enough for this to he a news story

Hmmm. Looks like something Mueller should investigate.
It may even justify a Democrat-run circus House Committee investigation. :roll:

Um...

Guess who also wouldn't be allowed to work there: atheist such as myself...

Weird, I don't see anything in there about discriminating against an employee on the basis of their sexual preference.

I see no issue with this. The school is a private Christian school.

Does the OP also have an issue with Muslim schools. Seems that faith objects to people who are LGBTQ.

Those restrictions are because being taboo makes all those things much more arousing for them. The deal with "Christians" is to act pious and lie about anything "ungodly" you do and if you are caught you just repent and ask forgiveness.

I agree with other posters: Private schools should have the right to decide who attends them.

Just as a private social club has that right.

In our private lives, we all "discriminate" in one way or another.

Good question. Doubt you'll get a honest answer.

It's good to see the atheists in the US have not yet succeeded in outlawing freedom of the Christian religion.

I think the idea of the OP was that Mother got a job there, not the practice of the school itself.

I think is shows people that they do not care about the US public, only about the evangelical extremist lot that voted him and his Orange boss into office.
