The school’s teacher application asks candidates whether they will abide by the code of personal conduct. It also asks them whether they are in “complete agreement” with Augustine’s statement of faith, which dictates that “Adam and Eve were made to complement each other in a one-flesh union that establishes the only normative pattern of sexual relations for men and women.”

The statement further proclaims “men and women are not simply interchangeable, nor is gender subject to one’s personal preferences.”

Students could be dismissed if their parents have gay sex or otherwise violate the code of conduct, such as drinking excessively, viewing pornography, making lewd comments or consuming illegal drugs.

“On the campaign trail, Brian Hagedorn has asked voters to trust he will set aside his strongly held homophobic beliefs,” One Wisconsin Now executive director Analiese Eicher said in a statement. “His actions tell a different story.”

In a statement, Hagedorn spokesman Stephen Thompson described OWN’s criticism as an attack on Hagedorn’s faith, “smearing” him for bettering the lives of children.
