The proliferation of christian schools? You think they are a fairly new thing? Parochial schools proliferated in the Northeast in the 1800s because the Irish and the Italians wanted Catholic upbringings. So-called christian schools proliferated in the South after desegregation....want to guess why?.So this was the outrage du jour for my sister, the family's token leftist:
Karen Pence Works at School That Bans Gay Employees and Students
Apparently, this is a big, shocking story worthy of much coverage:
Karen Pence to teach at school that bans LGBTQ employees, students
Karen Pence Is Working At A School That Bans LGBTQ Employees And Kids | HuffPost
The school that hired Karen Pence requires applicants to disavow gay marriage, trans identity
Why this is such a bombshell is anyone's guess. To quote Matt Walsh, the media seems to "discover" that the Pences are Christians every two months or so, and they're shocked and outraged every time.
I'm not entirely certain what the problem is here. Obviously, given that they all basically used the same headline, they're up in arms yet again about Christians stubbornly insisting that "alternative" sexual behavior is not okay, in direct contradiction to the CLEAR dictates of the left. I'm just not sure if they're demanding that Christian private schools should endorse behavior they don't agree with, or if they're demanding that the Vice President's wife should have to get a job in a place she doesn't agree with.
Meh. We'll know they are serious when they start addressing Pence's track record and not targeting his wife and kids. Pence and family are deeply religious. Not sure what the shock factor is. Christian schools are still Christian.

Pence defends wife's teaching jod at school that bars gays
Pence is responding to media reports of his wife returning to teach at a school that says it can refuse to employ gay and lesbian teachers or enroll children with gay or lesbian parents.
seems your respite falls a little short for the christians as well.Pence and family are deeply religious.
I dislike Pence immensely. I make no bones about it. I have said so multiple times. This argument goes nowhere. It's a private school. Don't like the way it's run then don't send your kids there.
I do not want that nonsense in the public schools.
What a coincidence. Christians don't want public school nonsense in their kids' lives. Hence the proliferation of Christian schools.
But for some reason, that still doesn't earn us the right to be left alone, despite the left telling us ad nauseam that "all they want" is for us to keep it to ourselves.
Proliferation doesn't mean new. Plywood
