Theory is not science.

Theory, in the case of sexuality, should not be taught in school.

yeah, but sex ed is (or at least it was when *I* was in school) based on facts of life. what does what, what goes where, what happens when a meets b.

my father came and taught our sex-ed class when we were kids--all the boys together then all the girls together--very matter-of-fact, direct, no dodging any questions--he had graphics and the whole dog and pony show--did a great job and was well received by the kids and the faculty/staff

just like when he was a kid and then later when i was a kid, and will be very long after i'm gone, there were two sexes only: male and female

You said he should be fired because he won't meet alone with women. He won't meet alone with women because of his wife and how THEY define their marriage. Trying to separate the two things so you some how sound better isn't working. One last time. If what he was doing was illegal or could be used against him in any way possible you can bet the farm that the Liberals would have used it against him by now. You and flan are welcome to gnash your teeth and wring your hands all you want but it won't get you anywhere. Continue talking in circles but it doesn't make what you said any more true.

The two things (his work, and his marriage) are separate. Many, many men manage to honor their wives and marriage vows without resorting to illegal discrimination. If he can't do what millions of other men do easily, maybe he's not the right man for the job.

We all know that "if what he was doing was illegal or could be used against him in any way possible, you can bet the farm that the liberals would have used it against him by now" doesn't work in Washington. I thought we already learned that lesson with Hillary. In the circles of the Washington Power Elite, guilt and punishment don't necessarily follow like they do for regular people like you and me.

My point still stands. flan said no one here said he should be fired. You came right in and said he should be fired. Your convoluted argument about how other men define their marriages doesn't matter one bit. You also do not speak for all of the men out there because I know many like Pence that I admire and respect because of how they honor their wives. Maybe if more men (and women) refused to put themselves in compromising positions there would be a lot less "compromising" going on. Please see the bolded. I don't care why you said it. Just that you did.

Your point is still flawed because my suggestion that he be fired is consistent with the law, and the fact that discrimination based on sex is illegal.

You also keep trying to insinuate that it's about his marriage when it has nothing to do with his marriage. Yes, flan327 was wrong when she said "no one suggested that he be fired", but she was replying to your assertion that someone said he should be fired for upholding his marriage vows, which was patently untrue. Here's what you said that prompted flan327's response:

_______________________________________
"
(men honoring their wives is bad and they should be fired as public servants)
"
_______________________________________


It should have been easy for anyone that can read to infer that since she quoted you, she was referring to your statement, which boiled down to "fired for honoring their wives". Something that no one advocated for.

Honoring wife = good
Discriminating based on sex = bad and illegal.

They are two distinct and separate things.
