He told moderators and an audience gathered at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., that he \u201chas been sleeping with a teacher for 38 years.\u201d His wife, Karen, an art teacher, most recently taught at Immanuel Christian School in northern Virginia, which prohibits openly gay parents and students from attending.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nlp-ignore-block article-content rich-text\">\n<aside class=\"promo-link\">\n        Christie takes swipe at Jill Biden: President is \u2018sleeping with a member of the teachers unions\u2019<br \/>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pence touted Indiana\u2019s school choice program, which he said doubled under his leadership. He also criticized transgender student support policies that exclude parents. \u201cThat\u2019s not bad policy \u2014 that\u2019s crazy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to stand up for the rights of parents, and we\u2019re going to pass a federal ban on transgender chemical or surgical surgery anywhere in the country,\u201d Pence said. He did not specify whether such a ban would be limited to transgender minors or whether it would extend to transgender adults.<\/p>\n<p>State-level bans on gender-affirming medical care enacted this year in states including Florida and Missouri have left some transgender adults\u00a0scrambling to access care\u00a0that is considered medically necessary by every major medical organization. Twenty-two states in total have passed laws that ban gender-affirming care for transgender youths, including 19 that did so this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to protect our kids from this radical gender ideology agenda,\u201d Pence said Wednesday. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to empower parents at the state level with the ability to choose where their kids go to school, whether it\u2019s public, private, parochial or homeschool.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cYou empower parents, and our schools will straighten up and reflect our values and focus on the basics faster than you can imagine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the debate, fellow GOP presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy said being transgender is a \u201cmental health disorder\u201d and vowed to ban gender-affirming health care as president. Ramaswamy did not say whether that ban would include care for adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
