The anti-LGBTQ+ school where Karen Pence teaches received nearly $725,000 in federal funds under the Paycheck Protection Program.


Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Va., got $724,900 through the program, according to the watchdog group Accountable.US, which reviewed information released by the Small Business Administration.

“It is shameful that an institution that discriminates against LGBT Americans received nearly $1 million in taxpayer funds,” said a statement issued by Kyle Herrig, president of Accountable.US, the Washington Blade reports. “This money was meant to help mom and pop small businesses meet payroll and keep the lights on — instead the wealthy and well-connected cashed in.”
