Grove City College is a small christian college about an hour or so north of me in Mercer county. They're part of a network of small christian colleges here in western PA. They refuse to take federal government money so they can't be told what to do by Uncle Sam.

1. This is where he belongs. Not working for the government.

2. Yes. The college is accredited and respected in academia.

It is of the Methodist faith, but its curricula prepare students for post-graduate studies and well as immediate careers in fields such as the sciences, engineering, education, accounting and journalism. The college is a sports rival to my alma mater, Geneva College, which is located forty miles to the southwest.

3. Pence does not have the sharpest mind, but perhaps can find a simple class to teach there.

It sounds like a respectable academic institution.
He could have done much worse.

4. Yes. The course would be fashioned by him, something about Christian values in government.

As an aside, my favorite quote from Pence is, "I am not getting into that car." A few years back, I posted on Facebook that Pence's declaration reminded me of the plot element in "Three Days of the Condor" (1975) wherein the hitman, Jaubert, cautioned the Condor to watch out for someone he knows offering him a ride.

5. Life imitates art.

I know, that quote from Pence was an eye opener.

Not the brightest guy around, and a total GOP lackey.
But even he knew he was in danger and could trust no one connected to his own party.
Perhaps someone gave him a head's up like in the movie.

Oh that should be interesting, GOP Christian values in government.
I have not seen anything from them but hatred and division.
Not very Christ like.

8. Actually it was once affiliated...

with the Presbyterian Church USA but is no longer due to philosophical differences with that denomination and is now non-denominational, but promotes extremely conservative religious beliefs. Back in the 70's I initially was considering it until I "discovered" how seriously f**ked up it was after participating in prospective student orientation. I believe that they don't disclose their endowment, but it's apparently rather significant with the Pew family (Sun Oil) among other right wing donors. As it is with Hillsdale College, they're attempting to expand the influence of their radically, conservative think tank.

6. What, Pence isn't going to Liberty University in Lynchburg?

Particularly, not their law school?

7. The surprise is his choice seems like several steps up
