How does Mike Pence plan to win the Republican presidential primary?

  1. Summary
    The GOP presidential primary field expanded again on Monday, when former Vice President Mike Pence declared his campaign with the Federal Election Commission. He will hold an initial campaign event on Wednesday in Iowa. Pence has already attended numerous events in the early-caucus, deeply Christian state, and he reportedly plans to visit all 99 of its counties.

    Pence's religious convictions helped former President Trump win over evangelical voters in 2016. While he enjoys evangelical support, Pence polls poorly compared to Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. His campaign advisers describe him as a more traditional, Reagan-like leader.

    Pence often touts the policies of the Trump-Pence administration, but is wary of the populist side of his party. Unlike DeSantis and Trump, Pence has called for raising the age needed to qualify for Social Security and Medicare. Pence has distanced himself from Trump since the Jan. 6 riot. Some Trump supporters blame Pence for failing to assist the former president in trying to overturn the 2020 election results.

Should elementary school libraries be allowed to carry the Bible?

416 votes, 59 comments

Context: Utah school district pulls Bible from elementary and middle school libraries.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - Of course. And, the Koran, the Vedas, etc. should also be available in our schools. These books explain the basis of various world religions. Most of us spend a lifetime investigating our Faith and Belief. Let the kids investigate, learn and embrace whatever Faith and Belief they choose to embrace. Reading, writing and arithmetic should be the emphasis in childhood education, but there is room for more holistic development of our children (practical life skills, the humanities, the arts, spiritual exploration, etc).


No - I voted no, but this is a “qualified” no. If the district has banned or censored any book, I believe it then must ban the Bible. I...



Unsure - Looking over the extensive list supplied. While I can agree that the representation behind the verses is not appropriate for young rea...
