9. People who choose to work for or send their children to religious schools

often seem shocked when they discover the rules apply to them. I've read elsewhere that Wheaton has fired faculty/staff for getting divorced and for converting to Catholicism, so Hawkins shouldn't be surprised that making this sort statement that goes to the heart of most Christian sects will lead to being dismissed.

Apparently the college had no problem with her wearing a hijab, but drew the line at her disagreement with the tenets of their faith - tenets, by the way, that all faculty and staff must read and agree with before they are hired.

This is not a defense of the school, it is a criticism of the parents who agree to sent their children to them, college students who continue to enroll, and faculty who agree to these religious beliefs and teach at such schools - without them, these schools would cease to exist.
