It is a private, religious school. If you don’t agree with the school or her religious beliefs, you don’t have to work there or send your kids there. Pretty simple. Freedom of religion and the Pence family is allowed to exercise it. It’s no longer mainstream and I don’t agree with it but I don’t see how anyone is hurt by it. |
She is openly supporting that though. As the wife of the VPOTUS. You don’t see a problem with open bigotry for someone in her position? |
what about Tlaib and her sticky note with Palestine written on it? The Israeli-Palestinian debate is political, social, cultural, religious, you name it. So where is the line drawn? Where do you stop your own beliefs from leaking into the public domain? Pence is a Christian. However that's defined is anyone's guess, as there are levels of religiosity created by different interpretations. She believes in X. She is working in a school that supports her belief in X. Parents are paying TUITION to send their kids to this school. It's not publicly funded. Why can't Pence work in an environment that supports her views? She's not cramming those views down our throats. I, for one, am not threatened by her position. But you apparently are. Why is that? Do you think that her job as an art teacher in an evangelical school will influence groups of people to suddenly change their views and keep Trump in office? lol! You must think most Americans are really stupid if that's the case. |
I, for one, am glad she is doing it because it totally tanks Pence's future presidential aspirations that they openly embrace an anti-gay agenda. Also the creationist stuff. Wackadoodle! |
I can’t believe I have to make this obvious point, but: it upsets people that the powerless LGBT kids enrolled in the school will be harmed by adults. |
I don’t think it’s bigotry. Just because most people, including you and I, don’t agree with it does not make it bigotry. |
|
Not being accepting of other human beings seems pretty bigoted to me. And not very Christian.
We don’t have to tolerate intolerance. They can believe what they want, but it isn’t a good look for our second family. |
Regardless of what school such s child attends, if their parents hold such religious beliefs the kids going to have problems. That’s on the parents, not the art teacher. |
+1 |
Certainly. But if the art teacher is also the wife of the VP and openly accepts this bigotry wouldn’t that make the kid feel even worse? |
| Right wing Christianity isn’t Christian, in the sense that they reject most or Jesus’ teachings about how we should treat one another. So I’m not surprised that a school like this one would have typical rabid anti-LGBTQ views. |
Yes, I need a refresher in logic: You support LGBTQ rights -- does not equal discriminating Christian people. Christian people support marriage between man and woman -- equals discriminating LGBTQ. Where is the logic? |
No, you dont' support justice for all. You support ONLY justice for a limited LGBTQ community. Nobody who support Muslim, or Christian believes want to take AWAY rights from LGBTQ. |
|
Your religious beliefs don’t belong in our laws. Period.
You don’t have to perform same sex marriages in your church. Feel free to continue on with your “not Adam and Steve” nonsense. |
You just want to deny them things |
