This is stupid. On many accounts not the least of which is that God gave us facial hair. DEAL WITH IT!!
I feel a school can set standards for cleanliness and maintenance of a beard but to say you can’t have one is stupid.
For some reason we Americans have this weird hate relationship with facial hair. Starting in the 20th century facial hair became a stigma. I just do not get it.
Facial hair (for a man) is no different than the hair that grows on his head. Properly trimmed and maintained, it causes on offense and is not a source of any hygeine problems.
But in the early 20th century we decided that our men should perpetually look like little boys. Maybe it was the homosexual lobby pushing it. But now, men cannot have hair (even neatly trimmed) anywhere.
You have men waxing their chests, their butts, their nether regions, all in the name of looking like a 12 year old boy.
Why??? What is wrong with a well trimmed beard. I sport a beard during the winter months. I keep mine well trimmed and short. What’s anyone’s beef with that?
Also, please do not tell me that the school has the right to do this. The school is not a private enterprise. It is a public institution. Making arbitrary rules that (in this case) go against nature, makes zero sense. Why not ban eyebrows next?
Clean shaven men don’t do a thing for me.
I like ‘em hairy and scary.
If I want “smooth silky skin” touching mine, I’ll turn queer and date women.
Simply having a beard is not a problem, but obviously you’ve never kissed a guy with one. There may be other reasons for the preference against them.
