Brigham Young University has many problems. But students can choose not to attend without consequence.

How about a 60 year old tenured professor?

How does his situation compare to that of a defensive coordinator?

Does one's freedom of expression carry more weight than another?

BYU’s policy is really stupid (and that school does plenty of things I really disagree with). It’s also been the same for 60 years, so that tenured professor at least had the benefit of knowing the rules before he started.

But if your point is that academics are obsessed with policing behaviors, you won’t get an argument from me.

So there is some form of grandfather clause that makes enforced conformity less objectionable?
 
**** byu and the idiot institutions who do that.

It's not that hard.

But continue to defend these stalinist tactics under the guise of these absurd equivalencies. It's silly for us to expect more from you

You are comparing the Yankees no facial hair policy with fining employees for social media posts. Apples and oranges, man.

Except BYU's policy is based on an animus against a sociopolitical movement. Their own founding fathers boasted impressive beards.

I have said 3 times it’s a wrong and bad rule.

I was raised Mormon and from Utah. You aren’t teaching me anything here.

Also, sorry if I am coming off as a jerk. It’s not my intention. I just really don’t follow the two wrongs make a right needle you are trying to thread here.

You brought up the Yankees. If their facial hair policy was based upon an animus against a political viewpoint I would say that would put it in a completely different light.

Let’s debate BYU and the Yankees another time.

Do you think Del Rio has a cause for grievance?

Enforced conformity is wrong. It might be legal under certain circumstances, but a business should generally stay out of policing how employees express themselves. Of course, if a CEO of a company said blacks are dumb and women can't do programming then yeah they should can his/her sorry ass because what he/she said affects his/her ability to work with other employees, and presumably would affect relationships with customers and business partners. But what del Rio said was pretty far removed from that.

I once had an employee who was an outspoken 9/11 truther. It was an odd thing to believe and to be so outspoken about. But I could care less since it had no effect on her ability to do her job.

I had another employee who insisted on calling a colleague KGB because she was from Russia. I had a chat with him.

This is the communists playbook everywhere and throughout history.

It’s shocking that people are just whistling by the grave watching all of this unfold.
