They Will Come For The Churches Next
by Matt Walsh, Daily Wire:
I wrote yesterday about the fierce backlash (US Vice-President-Ed) Mike Pence’s wife, Karen, is experiencing for getting a job teaching art at a private Christian school. Headline after headline has been published, screaming that Karen Pence is working for an “anti-LGBT” institution.
But, as I explained in my other piece, the school’s “anti-LGBT” policy is not only standard and inevitable for an authentic Christian school, but actually necessary in order for Christian schools to exist. The policy, which is not actually “anti-LGBT” but “pro-Christian morality,” simply requires that all students and teachers affirm Biblical teaching and Christian moral tradition. This includes, of course, matters of marriage and sexuality. The school doesn’t uniquely single out homosexuality, but neither does it exclude homosexuality from the list of sins that students and faculty of the school cannot openly accept or promote.
If you have a problem with this policy, you have a problem with Christian schools per se. That’s because Christian schools must obviously maintain a Christian culture and environment, and must govern themselves according to Christian principles, if they are to remain such. Many nominally Christian schools make no efforts of this kind, and very quickly they become glorified secular schools with no indication of a Christian bent other than the high tuition rates and the crucifix on the wall of the guidance counselor’s office. Christian schools that are actually Christian all have policies similar to those of Karen Pence’s new employer. So, again, if you hate the policy, you hate the fact of Christian schools. The Left, as we’ve seen, hates the fact of Christian schools. Really hates it. This should concern us.
