IN the NEWS - Pence defends wife

REMEMBER, when these types of people spew HATE at Christians over this stuff, it isn't really the Christians they HATE-- it's their CHRIST and His Holy Law and precepts they really DESPISE...
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John 15:18

"Vice President Mike Pence’s wife was the target of criticism this week after she announced that she would be teaching art at a private conservative Christian school, and the Vice President is stepping up to defend her.

Karen Pence announced this week that she would be teaching art at Immanuel Christian School which requires its applicants to sign a document signifying that they believe marriage is between one man and one woman and that they would not promote “transgender identity.”
After making the announcement, Pence was met with harsh backlash from critics who believe it is inappropriate for the Vice President’s wife to work somewhere that “discriminates against the LGBT community”.
Now, Vice President Pence is defending his wife’s decision. According to the Daily Caller, in an interview with EWTN Pence said, “My wife and I have been in the public eye for quite a while but I have to tell you, to see major news organizations attacking Christian education is deeply offensive.” 
The Vice President continued, “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 public office, so we’ll let the critics roll off our back. But this criticism of Christian education in America should stop,” he concluded."
