Karen Pence's astonishing moral hypocrisy

The wife of America's vice president 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."

Of course, the way Karen Pence spun it was to accuse the school of discriminating against the LGBT children and adults:

So, lemme get this straight, the second lady of the United States has chosen to work at a school that openly discriminates against LGBT adults and children. 

It’s quite revealing that this CNN reporter described it as discrimination because that’s exactly the anti-Christian mindset that activists in the hateful LGBT community want legislators and others to have. We’ve all seen it demonstrated in the way Colorado has been persecuting a Christian baker over gay wedding cakes. And I fear that at some point states will begin making it illegal for Christians to exercise their religious freedom in employment situations, especially as it relates to churches.
