The Church of Latter Day Saints controlled Brigham Young University Idaho has banned men from putting their hair in a bun! This after there were reports that some students were ‘evily’ influenced by one of the actors in the popular Game of Thrones TV show.
In fact the fascist ‘Honor Code’ sounds more like the haircut regulations for the U.S. military: “Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extreme styles of colors and trimmed above the collar leaving the ear uncovered. Sideburns should not extend below the earlobe or onto the cheek. Men are expected to be clean shaven, mustaches, if worn, should be neatly trimmed and may not extend beyond or below the corners of the mouth. Beards are not appropriate.”
Even Mormon iconography depicting Jesus of Nazareth shows him with shoulder length hair and a beard! Why is it that so many ‘christian’ groups, not just Mormons, hate long hair and beards on men? (I can understand if they hate beards on women)
Even Mormon iconography depicting male personalities from their Book of Mormon show them with long hair (not counting baldies) and beards. Well, not all, some show ancient men as clean shaven.
