Karen Pence announced she will teach at a Christian school in Virginia that doesn't admit or hire LGBTQ students and teachers, multiple outlets reported.
According to HuffPost, Pence will return to teaching art at the Immanuel Christian School in Virginia, where she previously taught when husband Mike Pence, now vice president, was a congressman. While a statement from the Second Lady to BuzzFeed News said she's "excited to be back in the classroom," many have criticized her because of the school's policy on LGBTQ people.
In a parent agreement to statements of faith that the school posted online (current as of October 2018), it explicitly states it reserves the right to "refuse admission to an applicant or to discontinue enrollment of a student if the atmosphere or conduct within a particular home, the activities of a parent or guardian, or the activities of the student are counter to, or are in opposition to, the biblical lifestyle the school teaches." That includes, according to the statement, "homosexual activity or bi-sexual activity," and "promoting such practices." These statements come alongside agreements that parents will pay tuition on time.
