    It's hard to fathom why modern adults still think the Old Testament is a guide to morality or behavior. Pence and his wife would do better reading Marcus Aurelius.

    You deflected from the topic of discriminatory hiring practices.

    And it is you that is mistaken about the Law of the Land.

    No one cares if you think someone else is bigoted and intolerant when you are guilty of exactly the same thing.

    The difference is religious freedom is protected and that just drives you crazy.

    It's a private religious school. Gays are of course admitted, homosexual ACTS, by voluntary agreement are prohibited. They do not allow that any more than Mesivta Birkas Yitzchok, an Orthodox Jewish boy’s private school or The Al-Madinah School, an Islamic private school in New York City, does.

    The Totalitarian Left struggles with our Constitutional Prohibition against the government applying their religious standard on the entire nation.

    All Religious Require Specific Behavior
    What all of these organizations have in common, and that the majority of progressive commentators typically fail to recognize, is a code of behavioral conduct and voluntary acceptance of a specific belief system. Each holds the student, parent, and employee to a specific religious lifestyle, something parents and educators choose to participate in.

    Immanuel Christian School does not ban anyone from attending or working at their school. They require a specific set of behavioral and religious belief standards equally applied to everyone. Many in the Christian world make a distinction regarding LGBT people that the left typically refuses to consider, between a person and his actions.

    Stop Imposing the Left’s Morality on Everyone
    As with all traditional religious practices, individuals are expected to conform to a code of conduct. Pence and his wife are traditional Christians, and the frightening undertone of the criticism is of progressives advancing state-regulated religious practice. While there is room for discussion about the experience of a young person who is gay or has gender dysphoria in this particular school or any of the others referenced above, it is equally relevant to point out that the school makes it clear it is the rejection of moral conduct and not the person that is at issue.

    What you said is true, and I completely agree with your 1st paragraph. That said, it is not good optics for the 2nd Lady to take such a position. That is an extreme religious policy, while they may have the right, it is still extreme, and most people disagree with it.

    So what? It's a free country.

    Despite what the left argues, Christian morality standards are not extreme or dangerous. It is perfectly acceptable to disagree with them calmly, and if you do you would never sign that application. Tolerance largely involves leaving other people alone.

    In this, the Pences deserve a break from the near-constant alarm-ringing for moral outrage over their personal religious practice. Furthermore, all religious education systems deserve autonomy and freedom. Regardless of how a person views his or her beliefs, it really isn’t anyone’s business other than those who choose to participate.

    Not hiring one because they aren't qualified isn't discrimination.
    If a woman is athletic enough to play linebacker in the NFL, that woman would be hired.
    I believe girls have played linebacker at the high school level.

    Not in some states. It's awful but they can discriminate based on sexual orientation

    To refuse people because of what they do in the bedroom is extreme!!!!

    That is exactly what the school is doing.

    I know the guidelines! I'm asking what YOU think! How do YOU interpret those guidelines? Kicking out students just because they are gay or refusing to admit gay kids just because they are gay?

    Simply because they or their parents support gay people, or simply because they or their parents support gay people who engage in homosexual activity? And is it restricted to HOMOSEXUAL activity, or does it also say "sexual immorality" in general?

    Those things are not in the New Testament.

    Can you provide a source?

    That's not true. They're globalist, open borders types. And Leftists from all over the western world are agitated maximally by Trump.

    It's quite clear by their guidelines that it is BOTH.

    Oh I see. It's about how you phrase it (or something). Lefties don't actually care whether LGBT people are excluded, they only care about the posturing. Well, that's not surprising. Look at the Gillette advert. Zero actual regard for women, since not a single mention was made about FGM, or women being half a man, or honour killings, etc. It was all about the terrible misogyny of barbecuing and small boys play-wrestling.

    Read my posts in the thread, you'll see them. Heck, read the darn posted you replied to when you asked the dumb question.
    I'm not all that interested in feeding trolls.

    JUST because of their orientation, or because they engage in homosexual activity? And don't you realise that this applies to HETEROSEXUAL activity too?
