Challenging the Honor Code
I wasn't sure if this belonged under Religion, Politics or Current Events since it's applicable to all 3.
Anyway, a student at the Sunstone Symposium had the guts to bring this topic up. I applaud her efforts. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=3962657

This is probably true. People are willing to bitch about it but not do anything to try to change it because they'll get kicked out. The honor code is absurd, but I'm willing to deal with it as a grad student for the cheap tuition.

That's a funny observation to be posting on this site.....ground zero for muttering under one's breath about everything in life but not doing a single thing about it.

Did you read the article? Sounds like she was involved in lots of things while a student.

Speaking of funny (i.e., dumbass) observations. How could you possibly know what everyone is doing in their private lives?

You can see the youtube video of her getting busted by BYU security for protesting the Cheney visit. She is allegedly part of the group chatting up the security guards before they are told to leave.

Yeah, there wasn't a protest she didn't like.

What a bunch of bull. When people say "change the Honor Code" it simply means "let me wear a beard."
Let's have a quick look at this oppressive code: Quote:

Ashley Sanders is right. The Honor Code is an antiquated, oppressive, and unreasonable standard. It's time Mormon youth stand up for our right to cheat on tests, skip church, sleep around, drink beer, and engage in all around troglodytic behavior. Who's with me?!

I am sure many people here are standing up and protesting all the things they find objectionable about the Church. My bad. Where is this weekend's protest?
