Immanuel Christian School

The school has been criticized for their anti-LGBT policies, which ban LGBTQ students and employees. This followed the decision of Karen Pence, second lady, to return as an art teacher in early 2019.[2] The attention the school received as a result of this caused a media debate as to whether their policies are discriminatory.[3]
