School bans the growth of facial hair.

Postby United Empire of Justin » Fri Sep 19, 2014 9:42 pm

A new vice principal at a school has banned all men from growing facial hair, and will be sent to I.S.S if not obeyed. If it continues to be ignored then possible suspension. I was wondering what do you guys think of this rule I consider it rather stupid, my friends son told me about this. (Maybe they think he will kill someone with his beard.) And they always allowed this ever since he started High School until now. Do you guys think this is fair or just plain stupid?

Plenty of companies don't allow facial hair on males as part of their dress codes. Though, it depends on whether this is a private or a public school. If it is a private school, they can do whatever they damn please. If it's a public school, they would need a good reason to limit students' expression in this way.

They can claim avoidance of disruption or something. It's not that hard.

I don't see what about it's such a big deal. I've seen many a person get sent home and be told to shave before they come back in my high school- but it's just for the students. Even then, nothing to get your jimmies rustled about.

The vice principal obviously believes that facial hair is a transmission vector for Islam.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Yes. Because that's totally a right when there are other places you can go to that will allow beards. If you don't like it and don't want to move to another school, well tough shit.

Most of the people protesting this probably can't raise more than a couple of whiskers and those who can should wait another four or five years.

Looking through your post history gives me 34 matches for "Fascist", 28 matches for "Nazi", 10 matches for "Fascism", 23 matches for "Hitler" and 3 matches for "Nazism" and 38 matches for "Dictatorship". It might be time to find some new buzzwords, even if it means having to crawl out from under your bridge to find them.

Ebul M00zlem nAZI countries aren't fascist. They're Islamist- there authoritarianism is motivated by Islamic doctrines, not a desire to make the state have control over everything.

Does Godwin's Law affect the mentioning of the Islamic State now too? Because, even if joking, the first page is pretty early for that sort of stuff.

I think it's bullshit partly because facial hair is kinda the default, as far as the body is concerned.

To be clean shaven, you need to, obviously, shave. That means you need to buy razors. I think this is an unreasonable imposition on students.

How ridiculous would it be if a public school required all students to shave their heads?

I'm generally against dress codes that go beyond what the law requires in order to go out in public.

I understand a limit to facial hair and/or if a total ban was enforced among both students and teachers.
