CraryAP Alert: beware of youth pastors. I know from personal experience.

CraryAP religious schools represent a threat to leftist indoctrination operations, a.k.a. public schools, so of course the NEA would attack any effective alternatives

CraryAP So, a public servants wife has no right to private practice? This is socialism.

CraryAP TaxChurches and their schools. We will not subsidize bigotry

CraryAP plan is to teach white children they are the 'chosen people' while they are young enough to 'brainwash'- creating future homophobic, racist, 'white elitist' 🍎🍎

CraryAP Faith based schools shouldn't receive any tax funds

CraryAP Isn’t it interesting that here we all need to bring healing into relationships and these stories and purposefully forcing division even at the levels of splitting hairs. Does not seem like real journalism but propaganda pumping against a political party.

CraryAP Bigots.

CraryAP Deport both of them. Save America.

CraryAP Does this mean that in 2,000 years the words of L. Ron Hubbard will be treated with the same fervor as the written words of drunk men transcribed over 2,000 years ago are today? Religion: Because it was written long ago, it must be right (except for the inconvenient parts).

CraryAP The Democrats having a KKK hood wearing racist as governor in Virginia and having this racist promote late term abortions of African Americans is a much greater problem. racistnortham

CraryAP Sounds like this school is very fortunate to have Karen Pence as a teacher. All the best to her.

CraryAP Parents are responsible for the education of their children. NOT the State. Public, private, Christian, or home-school, it is the Parents’ choice. NOT the state. ExposeAttemptsAtGovernmentControl

CraryAP Somebody tell me how faith based schools can participate in accepting government funding for their programs. Somebody tell me how faith based institutions continue to be tax exempt. Somebody tell me when we get religious groups out of government in this country. I'm not alone.

CraryAP For God sake leave her alone freedom of religion. This is modern religious persecution! If you have the right to teach your kids or other people children about evolution or the millions or billions years theory, other people should be allowed to teach faith to their children.

wbruce44 CraryAP Faith-based, LoL.

CraryAP Instead of praising the fact that she want to work, the left finds fault in where she works. If she chose a public school they would be upset about secret service.

CraryAP AP should re-read first amendment, if only for its own sake

CraryAP ExposeChristianSchools

CraryAP No it hasn’t. Leftie journo wishful thinking.

CraryAP Hypocrisy!

CraryAP I went to a Catholic school from K-8 and the curriculum was harder than the public schools my friends went to. Anything below 70% was considered an F as opposed to 60% for public schools.

CraryAP It’s not about religion. It’s about indoctrination. I went to a Catholic school in the 7th grade. I was reading at a college level but we were restricted by what books we could read. Almost expelled for asking about Martin Luther.

CraryAP Its a private school. Not sure if receiving any Federal tax brakes or Federal funds...something for Congress to look into. Please

CraryAP Hashtag aka license to discriminate

CraryAP So much for the seperation of state nd church..

CraryAP There should be no public money spent on religiously affiliated schools, K-12 or higher education. Unfortunately all religious schooling institutions get public funds one way or another. It’s a clear violation of the separation of church and state doctrine. It’s wrong.

CraryAP Among whom? Anti-Christian bigots

CraryAP Hint: There is no value in 'faith-based' schools. Therefore, tax-payer money should not be used to subsidize them (i.e. through 'school choice' vouchers) and the leaders of our country should set an example that separation of church and state is absolute.

CraryAP Demonrats LiberalHypocrisy

CraryAP Religion should be a self-discovery, it should not be forced to adhere to nor learn.

CraryAP If your children aren’t going to those schools it shouldn’t matter.

CraryAP They can't figure out what's wrong with public education so they'll jump into something else they are clueless about.

CraryAP Value doesn't enter in

CraryAP This is not persecution or discrimination. We are not seeking your destruction. These are real concerns from real people who grew up in your schools. We are asking you to look at what you’ve allowed to happen & make changes. This is about accountability & transparency.

CraryAP I have no problems with parochial schools. I went to a lutheran grade school and two years at a lutheran high school. My parents PAID for me and my sister to get that type of education. Now in a public school setting....it's not appropriate.

CraryAP Of course we have to bash the Christians now because RBG will be retiring soon, if she hasn’t already passed on...Trumps probable pick is extremely religious

CraryAP Maybe she can teach realDonaldTrump how to draw the American flag. Remeber when he went to the elementary school and he sat down with them to color the flag but he didn't know how to do it. He had to cheat, once again from the little kids coloring sheet, LOL, good times!

CraryAP This isn’t a Christian school. Excluding people on the basis of their sexual orientation is the furthest thing from Christian.

CraryAP What part of 'PRIVATE' do some of you people not understand? It's not taxpayer funded so if you don't want your kids there DON'T SEND THEM. That's the solution.Otherwise, shut your pie hole.

CraryAP They are teaching hate, God says he will revenge anything needed. The Pences nor anyone else should be able to discriminate especially when there are priest around the US raping children, they vote in known aggressive abusers, lie everyday, and promote injustice. But she teaches?

CraryAP A faith that denigrates all the others, including other christian branches.

CraryAP Instead of filling our children’s brains with religious garbage, VP wife should teach our children the values of Integrity, Compassion and Hard Work. ReligionNonse ReligiousNonse

CraryAP Can any one reach up to touch the apple of God's eye? Yet He says when you mess with any that belong to Him that's what you do. [..] for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. Zech. 2:8. Who feels up to a fight with the One who lends his breath to sustain life?..

CraryAP “Has prompted a hashtag,” is the reason why we can no longer be considered serious adults. This is a joke. YOU are a joke for being on Twitter and reading this right now. Shame on you. On me. On all of us.

CraryAP So she is gonna teach hatred discrimination...she is gonna teach everything Jesus is against!

CraryAP Need those christian schools, some still believe.

CraryAP The democratic governor of Virginia is a racist who wants to murder babies but Karen Pence is the problem. Got it.

kinkeaddonna5 CraryAP I don’t care if someone wants their kids to go to a private, religious school as long as they pay for it & NO public dollars in the form of vouchers enter into it. Public dollars should not go to schools that discriminate & don’t follow state curriculum.

CraryAP Re: the value of faith based schools..? They rest on the turf the Author of their faith put down Himself..

JohnHipps CraryAP Eventually these kids will have to join the work force in America. Keeping them sequestered from reality will lead to them being alienated and shunned. Who wants to have a homophobic racist living next door ? Children need develop their own beliefs .

CraryAP Debate? Why can’t people raise their children to follow their religion?

CraryAP Don’t give Catholic schools a pass on these policies. (See SF Archdiocese, for one example.)

CraryAP STROOP!!!!!

CraryAP Free choice and faith. The Godless, Marxist left, hates both.

CraryAP There is no debate

CraryAP Freedom of religion just keep it out of our public schools, courts, government, homes and bedrooms.

CraryAP You hate them don't you? Ask yourself why?

CraryAP Correction. Hate based schools

CraryAP

CraryAP You’ve got it wrong AGAIN. This isn’t about faith based schools. This is about known BIGOTS masquerading as Christians with the intent of suppressing the religious rights of others.

CraryAP i'm still gay, Mike; hav another go?!..

CraryAP They out rank public schools. There is your debate.

CraryAP If the school is teaching hatred it’s definitely not a Christian school.

CraryAP Ap is doing its very best to deflect from all the newsworthy events out of Virginia.

CraryAP Was t this news about two weeks ago?

CraryAP yes, there seem to be a lot of anti-Christian haters out there.

CraryAP I thought the Left was all about pro-choice & tolerance ?

CraryAP Anti religious hate supported by the left and media?

CraryAP Virtually every person in this thread is missing the point. Faith based schools are not the issue here. Discrimination is. They must follow the law like any institution & not discriminate students or employees based on race, gender or sexual orientation. It’s pretty simple 🤦🏻‍♀️

CraryAP Two words: BOY ERASED Debate over. Oh wait ... 7000 credible charged Catholic priests or leaders of child and sex abuse. Debate over again

CraryAP He's trying to push the hardcore bestial pornography of Ezekiel 23:20 onto children. My Sunday school teacher didn't use a strong enough sedative in my beverage, so I was able to stop her from sexually abusing me.

CraryAP Muslim schools are faith-based.

CraryAP There is no value in faith, on the other hand 'faith-based' schools tend to be pay-to-play, you pay so that you get special tutoring & privilege that most people don't get.

CraryAP Zero value! End of debate.

CraryAP Christian schools and any kind of religious schools in general should be banned. Religious Studies should be offered as a subject and it should outline the history and core tenets of all major religions, but that’s IT. No Christian schools that brainwash children.

CraryAP Wouldn’t be a complete school without “gay conversion”, Mikey can be a guest teacher with “mommy”!

CraryAP Christian Institutions have good values.

CraryAP Religion is a rot on humanity

CraryAP Oh? What's the debate? No debate here. It's a great thing!

CraryAP Enrollment at religious schools is down as is attendance at church. Indoctrination isn’t working on young people any longer.

CraryAP Only a debate among the critics. Maybe they can ban something else they don’t like. Or simply mind their own damned business.

CraryAP Depends on the school, stop lumping everything into one. She was teaching at a school that once to exclude people. All such schools are not the same.

CraryAP No government funding, no problem. I feel badly for the students, though. I went to a parochial school and my view of the world was skewed.

CraryAP ImpeachTrump FakeChristian FakePresident

CraryAP Meanwhile, the Democrats have a racist crisis on their hands and the AP sends out the VPs wife teaching at a Christian school?! wtf

CraryAP Stop bashing religion ya bigots

CraryAP Why don’t you ever write about Muslim schools? It’s all about Christian bashing with you guys.

CraryAP A completely idiotic debate. faith-based schools are older than public schools and far more effective. But in America, given the 1st Amendment, it's a non-issue. Those making it an issue are fascists.

CraryAP Indoctrination by hate before they can think for themselves; a shame.

CraryAP Isn't she free to teach where she chooses? Jesus!!!

CraryAP The pervasive threat of pedophilia and sexual abuse in the Catholic Church alone would keep me from ever allowing a child near their institutions of learning. Nevermind, their constant barrage of archaic dogma and brainwashing.

CraryAP Fake people of God. hate

CraryAP They shouldn't be tax exempt, regardless of their affiliation with a church. Let's just start with THAT.

CraryAP I have zero problem with people attending faith-based schools, as long as those schools aren't receiving public funding. The church doesn't pay taxes, they can fund their own schools if they like.

CraryAP They venture into indoctrination? What about liberal colleges and the professors that indoctrinate their students?

CraryAP Don't the students have to pass state exams? If they pass those tests...what's the issue?

CraryAP It’s prompted a reminder that VP & SecondLady reenact “Carrie” every Sunday after church

CraryAP So much for religious freedoms in this country.

CraryAP You mean their debating the value of religious freedom as it applies specifically to Christians.

CraryAP A hashtag! Oh no the religious schools are finished now!

CraryAP Beats the most important debate from ever happening: the value of socialist and leftist religion indoctrinating students at all of the rest of universities and colleges. Hyocrisy reigns in the MSM.

CraryAP This article clearly shows how anti Christian the left is lead by the ap

CraryAP We are guaranteed freedom OF religion not FROM religion

CraryAP Public schools are a failure.

CraryAP Straight from the fallen angel himself.

CraryAP There’s no debate. If you don’t like it don’t send your kid there. Seriously just stop with the “let’s cause havoc” crap. People with a brain see right through it. Debate more relevant things.

CraryAP What is the issue here? We have elected members of Congress who are Muslims. What do they practice/follow? Hypocrisy at its finest!

CraryAP Holy

CraryAP It's misreporting by organizations like ap that constantly stir up controversy. Look at how well that worked out for Huff Post and Vice, who are currently laying off opinion journalists.

CraryAP If she was teaching at a Muslim school would this be a conversation? Much like the recently elected Muslim representatives? They hypocrisy is deafening.

CraryAP Don't like the school or what they teach, don't send your kids there. Pretty simple.

CraryAP No vouchers for schools that discriminate. No vouchers for schools that discriminate. No vouchers for schools that discriminate. No vouchers for schools that discriminate. No vouchers for schools that discriminate. No vouchers for schools that discriminate. HateCrime

CraryAP Good for her!

CraryAP The devil is angry and enraged! That means a blessing is coming to America!

CraryAP So “faith-based” is the new excuse to discriminate employment & enrollment of LGBT students, parents & staff. What faith might this be?

CraryAP The ugliest individuals in the world.

CraryAP Awaiting for these people to criticize Islam teaching and dodge the beheadings.

CraryAP Alright, now take on Islam flawed beliefs? Oh wait. You won't dare go there

CraryAP If it is a private school and what people want, it is their choice, generally speaking. You won't change a person's beliefs by beating them up for it. As the VP and Mrs. VP that is a bit of an optics problem.

CraryAP Religion is the root of evil.

CraryAP As long as they're not receiving a single cent of government funding, I have no problem with them

CraryAP GMAFB....... 🤦🏻‍♂️

CraryAP Let's debate Mosques

CraryAP There should be no debate. Leave the Christian Schools alone. God Bless Karen Pence

CraryAP is against Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim, etc schools now? I may be against sending my children to one of these schools. However, that is the choice of each parent.

CraryAP Lock her up ffs

CraryAP Solution Take Government out of the schools NOT God

CraryAP Not really a debate. Some believe in God and support the faith based schools and some don't. Freedom of choice.

CraryAP Not about the value...about the abuse
