Pence to critics of wife's new job: 'Attacking Christian education is deeply offensive'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Vice President Pence responded to critics questioning his wife's new job teaching at a school that prohibits LGBT students and faculty by saying attacks on Christian education are "deeply offensive."

Pence spoke with EWTN host Lauren Ashburn in an interview airing Thursday for the Catholic news program about the backlash following Karen Pence announcing she's taking a job at Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Va.

"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," Pence said.

"We have a rich tradition in America of Christian education and, frankly, religious education broadly defined. We celebrate it," Pence said. "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."

And increasing number of bold, blatant malevolent assholes. You don't think it can get worse, but each day it does!

[Corvo Bianco]

7. Christian education shoulda been axed before the Spanish inquisition

Spare me!

[Solly Mack]

8. Yeah, yeah. Shame on others for not tolerating all that hate being taught.

[Takket]

9. the only thing offensive..........

is what "schools" like this, teaching hate and narcissism, are doing to Christianity. Bastardizing its teaching for their own personal gain.

[2naSalit]

14. Not really any different from the Madrasa in Pakistan

for fomenting and indoctrinating hatred and terrorists.

[atreides1]

32. Exactly

Mommy Pence works at a Christian Madrasa, that teaches hate and creates terrorists of a different type, but terrorists none the less!!!!

[Hotler]

10. Mike you shit stain, bigotry is not a christain value. nt

[msongs]

11. his crowd has a 2000 year history of immorality of the worst sorts nt

[Freethinker65]

12. Amazingly Pence does not find Trump (lying, womanizing, gluttony, adultery, etc.) offensive

[Flaleftist]

13. Bigotry is offensive . Not all Christians are bigots.

[shadowmayor]

15. For some of us

The very idea of Christian or any religious education is offensive. I'm all for studying religions, just not the indoctrination and dogma that runs with these schools.

[SoCalDem]

16. YOU are totally offensive eom

[Volaris]

17. Only to the fake christians, you twat lol...

I'm sure if Michelle Obama had decided to teach Law at a predominately Muslim college, all criticizem would have been just peachy, wouldn't it have?
Fuck off Mike.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Mike, we're attacking bigotry. If Christian education is the

some thing, then I guess we're attacking that particular education.

[NurseJackie]

19. Aw.

[A HERETIC I AM]

20. "I'm offended!"....so? Be offended. Nothing happens.

[GulfCoast66]

21. Heh. Is not 1950 anymore. Or even 2010.

Even young republicans support marriage rights.

Keep talking, asshole. Or should I say, keep digging.

[Blue Owl]

22. Please leave like you did at that NFL game

and don't come back

[Initech]

23. What a fucking snowflake!

There are no safe spaces in the real world! Suck it up, buttercup!

[LakeSuperiorView]

24. He's not wrong, except in what he thinks is Christian...

[DFW]

25. The very concept of "Christian education" is offensive

Wducation should not have a religious bent, not Christian, not Muslim, not Zoroastrian, etc. separation of education and religion should be like separation of church and state. Absolute.

[not_the_one]

26. Christian Education is an oxymoron

Education is about learning facts, processes and effects.

"Christian" starts with "faith", which is a belief in something that you can't prove, and goes downhill from there. Facts are no where in the picture.

All those tenets like "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", and the "golden rule", and "be nice" has nothing to do with any one religion. That is common sense.

There is no god, and I am a nice guy.

There. I just proved that god is not the source of nice.

27. No one needs to celebrate this training center.

It may be legally protected. It’s not legally shielded from criticism. Nor are segregation academies.

[Azathoth]

28. The Nazis used to whine that they were being "slandered" by "international Jewry"

Crying for yourself as you punch people is a time-honored tradition on the extreme right.

[Zoonart]

29. Let's all chant together...

Racist, sexist, anti-gay. Born again bigot, go away.

Everybody.......

[2naSalit]

30. I forgot to add...

[C_U_L8R]

31. Outing and shaming bigots is downright patriotic

[MagickMuffin]

33. I find your attack on women's reproductive rights DEEPLY OFFENSIVE

or locking children in cages. How christian of you to lock children away and kidnapping them from their parents.


MIKE: I FIND THE WHOLE LOT OF YOUR KIND HIGHLY OFFENSIVE.

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. Hey Mike. Show me where Jesus said ANYTHING

about homosexuals. Please

[hunter]

35. Mike Pence in hell.

There's one television.

It's playing Netflix's Sex Education.

Pence is sitting on the sofa naked.

No genitals. Like a plastic Ken doll.

For all eternity.
