Vice President Mike Pence has defended his wife Karen’s decision to teach at a private Virginia Christian school amid controversy over the school’s views on homosexuality and transgender identity.

Over the past few days, publications including The Washington Post and CNN have carried pieces criticizing Second Lady Karen Pence’s decision to teach at Immanuel Christian School of Springfield, Virginia.

At issue was their “parent agreement,” which among other things prohibited students and their families from engaging in conduct that is counter 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,” read the agreement in part.

In an interview with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on “Washington Watch” on Thursday, Vice President Pence said that he and his wife “are used to the criticism” due to their years of life in the public sphere.
