Mike Pence Defends Wife’s Decision to Teach at Anti-Gay School

Talking to the Conservative Political Action Conferencelast Friday, Vice President Mike Pence defended his wife’s decision to teach at an anti-gay school, reports the Advocate.

Karen Pence, wife of Mike Pence, has drawn controversy for deciding to return to teaching art at the Immanuel Christian School which explicitly forbids gay students. On their website it states admission will be refused to those who take part in “sexual immorality, homosexual activity or bisexual activity.”

This policy also extends to the hiring of their staff, they reserve the right to fire any teachers who exhibit “homosexual or lesbian sexual activity, polygamy, transgender identity.”

“Freedom of religion is under attack in our country. Lately it’s become fashionable for media elites and Hollywood liberals to mock religious beliefs,” Mike Pence said at the conference.

“My own family recently came under attack just because my wife Karen went back to teach art to children at a Christian school.

“Let me say before all of you: I couldn’t be more proud of my wife.

“She’s a great school teacher, and Karen Pence is a great Second Lady for the United Stares of America.

“It’s not about us… it’s about the sincerely held belief of millions of Americans who cherish their Christian faith and Christian education, and so I’ll make you a promise.

“Under this president and this administration, we will always stand with people of faith. We will always defend the freedom of religion of every American of every faith, so help us God.”
