Sign the petition re: Karen Pence and LGBTQ students

Discriminatory practices against LGBTQ parents and students is unacceptable.

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Karen Pence, second lady of the United States, has agreed to teach at a school that does not provide admission to LGBTQ students or parents. The school also requires teachers to sign employment contracts affirming that "the term 'marriage' has only one meaning; the uniting of one man and one woman," and that being a member of the LGBTQ community is a fireable offense.¹ The rules of this school are obviously discriminatory against folks who are LGBTQ, and this is unacceptable.  

Tell Karen Pence: Do not teach or support a school that bans gay students, faculty, employees, or parents. The second lady of the United States should not be enabling the discriminatory practices. The leaders of this country should support education for all, regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, etc.
