This Kid Had The Most Hilariously Accurate Response To Brigham Young University’s Strict Honor Code

Brigham Young University is not the place for everyone. In all actuality it’s not the place for anyone, really — unless you enjoy a strict Mormon-based honor code system that would make squeaky clean Taylor Swift look like Ozzy Osbourne. For those of you who have been fortunate enough thus-far in your lives to not even know that Brigham Young University existed in the first place, here are some highlights from their honor code.

On conduct:

Students must abstain from the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal substances and from the intentional misuse or abuse of any substance. Sexual misconduct; obscene or indecent conduct or expressions; disorderly or disruptive conduct; participation in gambling activities; involvement with pornographic, erotic, indecent, or offensive material; and any other conduct or action inconsistent with the principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Honor Code is not permitted.

On fashion:

Men
A clean and well-cared-for appearance should be maintained. Clothing is inappropriate when it is sleeveless, revealing, or form fitting. Shorts must be knee-length or longer. Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extreme styles or colors, and trimmed above the collar, leaving the ear uncovered. Sideburns should not extend below the earlobe or onto the cheek. If worn, moustaches should be neatly trimmed and may not extend beyond or below the corners of the mouth. Men are expected to be clean-shaven; beards are not acceptable. Earrings and other body piercing are not acceptable. Shoes should be worn in all public campus areas.

Women
A clean and well-cared-for appearance should be maintained. Clothing is inappropriate when it is sleeveless, strapless, backless, or revealing; has slits above the knee; or is form fitting. Dresses, skirts, and shorts must be knee-length or longer. Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extremes in styles or colors. Excessive ear piercing (more than one per ear) and all other body piercing are not acceptable. Shoes should be worn in all public campus areas.

On “homosexual behavior:”

One’s stated same-gender attraction is not an Honor Code issue. However, the Honor Code requires all members of the university community to manifest a strict commitment to the law of chastity. Homosexual behavior is inappropriate and violates the Honor Code. Homosexual behavior includes not only sexual relations between members of the same sex, but all forms of physical intimacy that give expression to homosexual feelings.

So no beards, no sex and no drugs. Got it, gimme a second so I can write this at the top of my “Places I would rather die than visit” list.

But it looks like I’m not the only one who’s not down with BYU’s honor code, since one student by the Reddit username of MassaYoda responded to their online honor code survey as thusly:

Couldn’t have said it better myself, kid.
