It Must Rock Going To Christian Universities
Oh man, why didn’t I go to Bob Jones University? I totally would have loved it. I feel like making a road trip down there and walking around on campus with a “Christ Punchers” T-Shirt on (thanks Moe Sizlak for that one).
Something to keep in mind, this is a University, not a high school. How crazy is this shit?
Student Expectations At Bob Jones
General Dress
Hair must be cut in a traditional, conservative style–not shaved, spiked, tangled, or shelved. It may not be colored or highlighted.
Sideburns should not extend past the middle of the ear. Men are expected to remain clean-shaven.
Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are not permitted.
Hats may not be worn indoors except in the gym.
Men are not permitted to get tattoos or wear body piercings.
Abercrombie & Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of antagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions. In protest, we will not allow articles displaying their logos to be worn, carried, or displayed (even if covered or masked in some way).
Dress Code for Women
Classroom/general dress consists of a dress or top and skirt; however, pants may be worn for some recreational activities. Shorts may never be worn outside the residence halls and fitness center.

My school had almost exactly the same dress code, except for the Abercrombie & Fitch bit. Saying that, we did also have the compulsion to wear “dark charcoal grey” trousers: “black” was right out, although what the difference was took more discernment than any person I ever knew was actually capable. Oddly enough, these “dark charcoal grey” trousers were only available at a local store, which also happened to be owned by one of the school’s governors (also a lay pastor). How very handy, eh?

Such convenience! Did they also require other school supplies that could only be purchased from a store owned by the local church?

Because, after all.
You can’t worship go to Jesus or go to a school with his name on it if you have long hair or wear comfortable clothing.
Or shorts.
And heaven forbid black. That’ll damn your soul right on to hell.

This makes perfect sense! Jesus kept his hair cut conservatively and his sideburns trimmed to the ear, and so should his followers!

Jesus had a beard why would they forbid that? stupid religion misinterpreters, Christianity isnt about appearance but being good people on the inside
