The post-American Left's God-hatred on full display

Karen Pence has taken a job teaching art at a Christian school in northern Virginia. She has taught there previously. The school has codes of conduct for its faculty, staff, students and parents, based on Biblical principles.

CNN's headline to its story about it reads "Karen Pence Teaching Art at School That Bans Gay Students, Parents."

The New York Times headline reads the same way, except it uses the term "bars."

Artsy and Artnet News use "ban."

HuffPost: "bans."

The Washington Post takes the can-you-believe-this approach, using the phrase "requires applicants to disavow."

Newsweek, Mediaite, and even the New York Post: "bans."

The activists word their depiction more strongly than the media:

The head of GLAAD, a New York-based LGBT+ rights group, called on Karen Pence to resign from the job, saying it was "disturbing" she would "put her stamp of approval on an institution that actively targets LGBTQ students."

"When young people are coming to terms with their sexual orientation and gender identity, they deserve to have the support of the adults in their lives," Sarah Kate Ellis, president of GLAAD, said on the organization's website.

How's that again? Actively targets? This school is not keeping anyone from doing anything - other than be enrolled there.

If you work at this school, you have to adhere to these standards:

This is from their employee code of conduct:

I will strive to live a personal life of moral purity that is separated from the world according to Scriptures, as defined by the Statement of Faith of Immanuel Bible Church and agreed upon by the Elders and Pastors of Immanuel Bible Church. I understand that the term “marriage” has only one meaning; the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive covenant union as delineated in Scripture and that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other and that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity is engaged in outside of marriage between a man and a woman. Further, I will maintain a lifestyle based on biblical standards of moral conduct. Moral misconduct which violates the bona fide occupational qualifications for employees includes, but is not limited to, such behaviors as the following: heterosexual activity outside of marriage (e.g., premarital sex, cohabitation, extramarital sex), homosexual or lesbian sexual activity, polygamy, transgender identity, any other violation of the unique roles of male and female, sexual harassment, use or viewing of pornographic material or websites, and sexual abuse or improprieties toward minors as defined by Scripture and federal or state law. Further, I am not, nor have been in the past, engaged in inappropriate conduct toward minors, nor do I have inclinations toward such conduct. Persons so involved or who condone such behaviors cannot be employees of Immanuel Christian School. 

If you want to enroll your kid, you have to adhere to these standards:

They also have expectations of parents:

I understand the biblical role of Immanuel Christian School is to partner with families to encourage students to be imitators of Christ. This necessarily involves the school’s understanding and belief regarding biblical morality and standards of conduct. I understand that the school reserves the right, within its sole discretion, 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. This includes, but is not limited to contumacious behavior, divisive conduct, and participating in, supporting, or condoning sexual immorality, homosexual activity or bi-sexual activity, promoting such practices, or being unable to support the moral principles of the school. (Lev. 20:13 and Romans 1:27.) I acknowledge the importance of a family culture based on biblical principles and embrace biblical family values such as a healthy marriage between one man and one woman. My role as spiritual mentor to my children will be taken seriously. 

You see this is a Christian school. Actually Christian. It upholds sound doctrine.

Fifty years ago, it probably would not have even been necessary to spell all this out in such a school's admissions information. Pretty much everybody understood what a Christian education was going to entail.

I understand that the government shutdown, immigration policy, intellectual property theft by China, the ongoing ability of ISIS to wreak havoc in Syria, and the Mueller investigation are all rightly on the nation's plate at the moment, but for LITD's money, nothing is a more urgent crisis than the fact that post-America has made a conscious decision to give Almighty God the middle finger. That never works out well.

These are times when the embrace of courage and the embrace of cowardice are going to be glaringly obvious to all.

Here's how fence-sitters will be dealt with:

“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth . . ."

We should have known the centuries-long period in which Christianity was Western civilization's foundation was too good to last.
