Now that would be a change I could favor, after my daughter graduates. BYU Idaho would rise in the Playboy ratings after that.

So do you likewise believe that this comes strictly out of a desire to control people? |

He is a Packer, JFS hard core.
I hope the new guy lightens up a bit, but they even have an intro to BYU Idaho, wherein Bednar is quoted as saying how inspired the Honor Code and the dress code, coming from oracles of God. No, Bednar is somebody to watch out for. He's no moderate. And I can't see a German being moderate. So we need to look to Eyring.

They probably rationalize it, by tying it to loving one's body, but it comes out of brandmarking. Mind you, my family looks the part, mainly because I want my kids to fit within professional society. We're no rebels, but we don't reject those who otherwise comply with Gospel standards but rebel a bit in dress.

One could only hope he was kissing up and didn't believe it.

I can see the logic, as long as it doesn't fall over into the "they are from hell because they dress like that" logic. We dress conservatively, because that's what appeals to us, not because we're commanded to.
