Vice President Pence has responded vehemently to criticism surrounding his wife’s decision to teach at a private school that seeks to exclude homosexual and transgender students and staff members.
Following news that Karen Pence accepted a part-time job teaching art at Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Va., the vice president said Thursday that the negative reaction was “deeply offensive.”
“My wife and I have been in the public eye for quite a while. We’re used to the criticism,” Pence said in an interview with Eternal Word Television Network. “But I have to tell you, to see major news organizations attacking Christian education, is deeply offensive to us.
Here's a poll exploring bigotry.

Curious as to why the O/P shamelessly snipped the key part of VP Pence's statement from his source? (posted below)... That's the part, the bolded part we should be debating. Here's the questions that should have been asked in the poll. Agree with Pence, and why? The why should be obvious. Yes, is the correct and ONLY answer...
Disagree with Pence, and why should be the second question. I won't answer the O/P's poll because it means nothing because it's stupid.
“But I have to tell you, to see major news organizations attacking Christian education, is deeply offensive to us."
"We have a rich tradition in America of Christian education and, frankly, religious education broadly defined. We celebrate it. The freedom of religion is enshrined in the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution prohibits a religious test for holding a public office and so we’ll let the other critics roll off our back, but this criticism of Christian education in America should stop.”
If it happens in public education, obviously bigotry.
The choices of the poll, tough decision. Teaching people to hate gays seems to be part of what christian education is.

Good point.
I do believe the school in question is a wholly privately funded school. Without any public money the government really has little to say about it.
No one if forcing anyone to enroll or attend that school.
Yet another example of many, of the tyrannical left and their desire to dictate to everyone else and force everyone else's compliance their SJW BS.
You didn't have a choice "A constitutional right" so I just voted "A constitution right". I'm amused that a post like you who can express so much hate and distain to those who think differently than you an raise a poll on a similar topic.Here's a poll exploring bigotry.

What’s tyrannical about exercising ones free speech rights to denounce offensive aspects of what a Christian school is teaching? The school remain free to continue teaching the kids offensive hateful stuff. Religious zealots are these tyrannical ones trying to intimidate their critics into silence with their demagoguery.
Show me one instance where the Immanuel Christian School has intimidated anyone.
No, the intimidation here is from the left, who have seemed to have adopted the position, narrative and strive to make public policy that any and all religion is bad (well, except for Muslim - but little do they realize), and that religion needs be vanquished, not only from the public square, but also from those that wish to believe's lives, so that government can take its place; destroying part of the social fabric that has, and still is, holding society together, whether you'll admit it to yourself or not.
No one is asking or demanding that any from the left be forced to attend this school.
Don't like it? Don't like the school? Don't like the values they teach?
Tough.
Last I recall, to believe differently, to have different values is called diversity and isn't a crime, no matter how much you want to make it so.
Don't like it?
Open your own private school. Do what you want there.
Christian education often includes bigotry. Some can argue it isn’t “hateful” but it is definitely bigotry. I don’t have an issue with his wife working there, though. She wasn’t elected to anything.
VP Pence, however, can shove his “offense” where the sun don’t shine. You don’t get to be offended because people are calling out bigotry. Or at least don’t expect your offense to be taken seriously. I don’t care if the bigotry is sanctioned by your religion.
Good point.

I didn’t say that the school did it. Pence did, however, by declaring that “this criticism of Christian education in America should stop.”
I’ve heard this yarn repeatedly, with no proof ever provided to back up this ugly allegation. Apparently mere criticism of religious zealots is taken by thin-skinned zealots as an evil plot “to make public policy that any and all religion is bad (well, except for Muslim - but little do they realize), and that religion needs be vanquished, not only from the public square, but also from those that wish to believe's lives.”
And nobody said so.
Free speech rights allow for people to express their displeasure, despite attempts by people like Pence to intimidate them into silence. Don’t like it? Tough.

Oh, yes he does!
The Constitution says our citizens have a right to be offended and express that offense publicly. Sort of like you have in the above post of yours.
Sorry, but the VP has the same rights as every other citizen.
The next thing the left is going to do will assault is this school's, and other similar school's, accreditation, for the mere fact that those in this school have the temerity to believe different and have different values.
Whatever happened to this embrace of 'diversity', or is that only apply to the 'diversity' the left approves of?
Based on your posts I have to ask: DO you?Uh, discriminating against people is an action, not a belief. You understand that; right?
Oh, maybe you don't.
