      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        It's shameful that BYU forced a sikh student to shave his beard. What the hell was the honor code office thinking?
        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

          when i was an undergrad there was this one sikh that seemed to be everywhere on campus. everyone knew who he was and most people knew him as the "turban dude." he rocked a pretty scraggly beard. this was early 90s. he kind of looked like Great Tiger from "Punch-Out!!" but without the Salvador Dali mustache. Another difference was that if the real turban dude at BYU was going to throw a punch at you, the gold medallion on his turban wouldn't flash once right before. You were on your own!

            Excellent essay highlighting the absurdity of how the rule is applied. Bonus points for piling on Carrie Jenkins.

            So wait, can Catholic students take communion (wine) at BYU? Thought never crossed my mind.

              I think for the most part it never came up.

                BYU students are beginning to pick up on the trend of successful activism in the church to change traditions that are not based on doctrine.

                      More beard fun.

                      One man in this situation, a student at the LDS Business College, obtained the exemption earlier this month after signing a lengthy and detailed agreement. Noting that the student had provided evidence that he was filming in the Church’s New Testament videos, the letter states, among other requirements, that he “is required to dress professionally (in a shirt and tie) as a way to compensate for not shaving” and “is required to wear a lanyard stating [he has] official authorization to wear a beard."
                      I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.

                          I would also suggest that you study the words of the Lord’s annoited who have proclaimed that the reason for the no beard policy is just as symbolic for us today as it was symbolic in Jesus’s day to wear a beard. For members of the church whose faith is based on the fact that symbols are an integral part of our faith ( hello sacred symbols in the temple) you are very much showing your Ignorance on this subject and frankly it is rather disturbing and you are making a mockery of sacred things. It is akin to you saying that you don’t believe endowed members of the church should wear garments! It is that serious in nature. Connor this is a subject you clearly don’t have any spiritual understanding on so I suggest you seek, ponder, and prayer lest you lead others astray like Kate Kelly!
