wjmcgurn WSJ back off she is a very lovely lady

wjmcgurn Yes. Secular Puritan Mob. Nice click bait from the tabloid known as the WSJ. My sense of most people’s views was that it was poor judgement in the part of the VPsspouse to go to work at a school that isn’t Christian enough to accept everyone. We’re in the year 2019. Wake up.

wjmcgurn No... for teaching at a throwback prejudiced school that Jesus would be horrified by.

wjmcgurn No one cares that she teaches at a Christian school; they care that she teaches at a school that actively encourages discrimination against some of God's creations. WWJD?

wjmcgurn I’d rather secular puritans than the hypocrite-religious ones who are anti-anything that is not them as a group but have no problem living the opposite of what they proclaim. Please.

wjmcgurn Christianity is beside the point, it's about a cult that supports discrimnation and bigotry. It's about supporting the Declaration of Imdeoendence and standing up to racists cults if white supremacists. Stop giving these people a Christian label; they ain't Christians.

wjmcgurn Re: your comment on Obama’s Christianity vs. the Pences’: YES Obama meant what he said about his beliefs, he just didn’t foist then on the country because we don’t have kings here, a POTUS’s religious believes are supposed to be irrelevant to the laws of this country.

wjmcgurn Given she is the wife of the Vice President of the United States of America, she shouldn’t be teaching at a school that takes away rights of Americans. PERIOD.

wjmcgurn No. Patriotic Americans can't believe she is teaching bigotry. That is all you jackals

wjmcgurn The left would never criticize any Muslim beliefs. Thanks to WSJ for calling out these hypocrites.

wjmcgurn This nation was founded on religious freedom. Obviously, a faith-based school will reflect the beliefs of that faith. Where Karen Pence is concerned, this is a denominational issue. This school does not reflect the beliefs of all Christian denominations. Still, it is their right.

wjmcgurn Opinion: is turning into a gossip rag.

wjmcgurn I have a subscription to the WSJ. I really think I have to cancel it after reading this crap. So many other important things happening and this is what you post? Really disappointing.

wjmcgurn If she were a private citizen it would be her prerogative but she’s the 2nd Lady & should be a servant to ALL the people in this country not just the ones who share her ideology. The irony is she hurt Christianity by bringing attention to these policies. Gen z ain’t having it.

wjmcgurn Seems like “Christians” shaming LGBTQ people is the greater “sin”.

wjmcgurn Authoritarians fear and persecute religious people. Have done so throughout history.

wjmcgurn Where in the Bible does Jesus say to exclude gay and transgender people?

wjmcgurn hypocrisy at it's finest. Christian is charity, love, acceptance.. this dizzy biatch and her 'in the closet husband' hating and so full of ugliness makes me sick. What galls me is they think the world is so blind and ignorant to their insanity

wjmcgurn Secular puritans seems like an oxymoron to me

wjmcgurn I think it's wonderful SecondLady

wjmcgurn It's a private school, no one is forcing you to attend if it doesn't align with your beliefs. It's a religious institution with very traditionalist values. It doesn't effect the 'secular Puritans' at all. It fundamentally comes down to federal control of education.

wjmcgurn Separation of church and state is in the constitution.

wjmcgurn I'm not shaming her. She has the right to practice her faith however she wishes. A private school can teach whatever it wants as long as it doesn't get public money. I just find it a crying shame in this day and age that we still have this kind of discrimination and bigotry.

wjmcgurn If she wasn't the second lady of this country I wouldn't give a crap

wjmcgurn Amen! Great article!

wjmcgurn The school KP teaches in isn't 'Christian' if Christian has any real realation to Christ's message. The same can be said of Zionists calling themselves Jews when they're actually atheists. Convenient delusion for expediency.

wjmcgurn Like anti abortion activists?

wjmcgurn On the day after Trump’s humiliating defeat on the wall and the shutdown and Roger Stone’s arrest, leave it to the opinion and to invoke the right’s famous “radical left” and “mob mentality” mantras 🤣

wjmcgurn A mob of right wing evangelicals are actively trying to harm anyone who believes in marriage equality, LGBT rights, agency over our bodies, help and respect for immigrints and the poor. The Pences are leaders in that movement and do not represent the will of the American people.

wjmcgurn WSJ has been fully subsumed by the Murdoch propaganda machine.

wjmcgurn A hateful and intolerant media supporting the party of hate and intolerance

wjmcgurn What exactly is a 'secular Puritan'? If it means those who criticized her hypocrisy on Christian values...I am such. The woman has not uttered a word in defense of child separation; persecution of asylum seekers, withholding wages from workers -- she is NOT a Christian.

wjmcgurn Karen Spence is NO Christian. She is a homophobe!

wjmcgurn I attended a Christian school from K-12. I’ve found that most “Christians” aren’t Christian at all. In fact, most are the worst people I’ve ever known. And, if Jesus where to return to Earth, it would prolly go something a little like this:

wjmcgurn She is a private citizen and can work wherever she wants.

wjmcgurn Just like Sodom and Gomorrah. It is coming if these attacks keep up

wjmcgurn God Bless Karen Pence. God will give you strength. Our Religious Freedoms are under attack from the left. THEY WILL NOT PREVAIL!

wjmcgurn bigotry is bigotry period we are all equal in the US according to our Constitution calling out bigotry is what good citizens and good humans are supposed to do bad take, just stop

wjmcgurn No, it's exclusively because she is a exclusionary bigot. If you want to try to wrap it up in Christianity, then you've got issues.

wjmcgurn I'll repeat: Please don't turn into the print version of FoxNews with particular emphasis on PrimeTimeHate aka the Trifecta or Trinity of TuckerCarlson IngrahamAngle and seanhannity. I'd like to continue reading the journal, but can't support this kind of crap.

wjmcgurn A Christian school that discriminates against gay children. How very Christ-like!

wjmcgurn You mean Mother

wjmcgurn She is choosing to volunteer at a school that discriminates against and excluded the LGBTQ community, the fact that it is a Christian school is not a factor.

wjmcgurn If Christians (& especially Christian/catholic schools) actually followed the words & actions of Christ concerning: immigrants, poverty, wealth, discrimination, etc we wouldn’t be having this discussion. Unfortunately they don’t & cannot be called Christians so criticism is fair

wjmcgurn IFixedIt Opinion: I clutch my pearls as my hero, Karen Pence, is called out for teaching at a “Christian” school that discriminated against children, writes wjmcgurn

wjmcgurn headline misleading - teaching at a Christian school that requires everyone to agree that marriage is only valid between one man and one woman.

wjmcgurn I thought the Journal used to love open markets, why would they support a school that discriminates in employment and attendance?

wjmcgurn She is truly a nutsack devoid of reality. Trapped in her fringe world of cult brainwashed hypocrisy, and truly perfect for the other nutsack in her life, VP pence, the patron saint of dissembled useless shrubs...

wjmcgurn Are we now pretending she doesn't like puritanical behaviors? motherIvebeenagoodboy

wjmcgurn LOL, Trump would not be allowed near that school. adultery gluttony avarice Hypocrisy

wjmcgurn Same mob who cheered New York for allowing abortion up to day of birth? Right.

wjmcgurn Jesus must be rolling in His grave!

wjmcgurn Lordy, Lordy, Lordy...................Hope she can handle it.

wjmcgurn Protect this women gather about her and bless the Lord as she is being attacked by demons in front of her house. Crazy you say. We have fought these kinds of wars before and the result is a systematic cleansing of communities.

wjmcgurn Mother doesn’t like it when people get between her and the wrong side of history.

wjmcgurn What a horribly misleading headline. No one cares that it is a Christian school. What people care about is the intolerance that it teaches and the hateful exclusionary rules it abides by. Karen Pence chose THIS school and the rest of us have every right to point out it’s faults.

wjmcgurn Secular Puritans... LMAO!!! That’s funny coming from fundamentalist Evangelicals who would prefer a theocracy over democracy.

wjmcgurn SECULAR PURITANS 😂😂😂 she wants to torture gay kids but ok

wjmcgurn 'secular Puritans' What now? No, it wasn't for teaching at a 'Christian school.' You know how many same-sex couples nowadays get married in a church?

wjmcgurn I think its the discrimination they worship rather than the 'Christianity' part that has made people upset

wjmcgurn *for teaching at a Christian school that espouses hate - there, fixed it for ya Mr. Murdoch

wjmcgurn Isn’t god on HER side? Or are you assuming that part is stupid?

wjmcgurn Flash Mobs are becoming quite fashionable. What a sad state of affairs.

wjmcgurn BAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAA! 'Secular puritans'!!! This is crazy.

wjmcgurn wsj is a wasp rag

wjmcgurn Yeah...a segregated school. Call it Christian call it whatever you want but it doesn't change the fact that the school discriminates against its student population. That doesn't seem Christian to me.

wjmcgurn I'm not going to read this since I don't subscribe to . However, if the headline represents the content of this editorial, YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. (signed) A secular Puritan.

wjmcgurn The Left is shaming anyone Christian who has ties to or supports Trump. They are gearing up for their smear of Trump's next SCOTUS pick who happens to be a Catholic Christian woman.

wjmcgurn

wjmcgurn How about “Second Lady Karen Pence discriminates against citizens she professes to care about, and the left calls her out for it.”

wjmcgurn Sorry, that is not a Christian school in any sense of the word that Jesus would recognize. Mr and Mrs Pence are not real Christians.

wjmcgurn bigoted christian school.

wjmcgurn A Christian school that does what, sir? I feel like there is a missing piece of this sentence.

wjmcgurn Hey, if she wants to teach kids to paint dinosaurs with saddles, have at it. I don’t care.

wjmcgurn This feels like a mischaracterization of the pushback she received.

wjmcgurn False premise. Well done wsj🙄🙄🙄

The school that hired Karen Pence requires applicants to disavow gay marriage, trans identityThe school makes potential employees promise they won’t participate in “homosexual or lesbian sexual activity, polygamy, transgender identity.” I’m not sure this is note worthy... unless the school receives taxpayer money as part of their funding. the hits just keep on coming. Religious schools asks staff to abide by religious principles. How awful! 🤣
