BYU’s Honor Code Needs a Make Over

A few days before Brigham Young University (BYU) basketball team began participating in the NCAA tournament people were very disappointed. Brandon Davies, a 19 - year - old second grader, was fired for reaching pre - marital sex which mutually agreed with his girlfriend Danica Mendivil (Mackall). Davis does not violate any government law, but the honorary standard of the university stipulates that students "send pure and beautiful life" (2010-2011 undergraduate). The BYU Honorary Code prohibits many actions which are regarded as part of ordinary society, such as herbal tea, coffee, alcohol, drinking curse etc.

This week, Brigham Young University was strictly scrutinized about its ethical guidelines / contracts. Basically, the honorary convention is a standard system based on Mormon standards, and students and teachers need to follow. "We do not encourage sex between spouses on campus, we do not encourage sex between spouses, we prohibit drinking, drug abuse, intimacy and jealousy between homosexuals, sexual fraud." Chairperson of the conference Teresa Younger explained why it is important to educate other men about how to fight gender discrimination instead of going back one step and stating gender discretion. "The people I'm trying to talk to are others, they are all good people.If you see bullying and hit someone in high school, you stand there and" I will support. Some of them I do not mind accepting blows. "

BYU - Idaho is a strange place. It allows even the most devout Mormons to doubt their reasons. All classes including secular classes begin with prayer. There is a rigorous honor code and clothing code necessary to force it. Nothing is placed in remote places such as hair, shorts, slippers, beard and so on. A heterosexual member can not enter another bedroom. The city imposed a curfew on the city and the local police imposed a curfew. Sometimes you can not feel that you were mistakenly taken to Orwell in 1984.
