BYU honor code question

Post by _zeezrom »

Would a man violate the BYU honor code if he wore a skirt to class?
Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)

Only if it didn't cover his garments, and if it isn't a kilt?
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Depends upon how short the skirt.

I doubt even Scottish or Polynesian men could wear their native attire on campus without being stopped and given a thorough pat down by BYU Security. Next, security would demand the skirt be removed and the pat down resumed.

No doubt BYU would change it in a hurry if he did. NO KILTS!
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

And no photo about kilts - like the one I produced in an evil moment.
Emailed image shows Queen Elizabeth of England sitting amongst a band of kilt-wearing Scottish soldiers, one of whom appears to be revealing a wee bit too much of his manhood.

Maybe as long as they attend @ BYU Hawaii and have a PCC shift after class, they'd be ok.

What about Scotland?

cumorah.com - which is in general very useful - doesn't work showing the details in UK. I may have chosen bad keywords, and the INTERNET apparently give rude aswers who can not ask properly...

Have You pictures of scottish members? (of the celebrated true scotmans...)

To be more precise, the kilt is shorter than lavalava. It is proper for warriors.

I was banned for the anatomy of a man with foreign customs.
Particularly of colonel Simon West (of First Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders - Howe Barracks, Canterbury, Kent).

This is his picture with his wife and child.

Is there something about two legs in one sleeve that gives a man more testosterone than two legs in two sleeves? We only have pants because of horseback riding and at one time it was considered a vulgar, barbarian custom, suitable only for nomadic tribes.

That is, it's custom, and customs eventually change.
Hey listen don't you let 'em get your mind...
