So archaic.

I know that in the 80's, women students still had to wear dresses or skirts to class. They could only wear pants if the temperature was freezing or below (and it had to be pants or slacks, no jeans). They could only wear shorts if they were going to gym class, and they had to wear a rain coat over them.

I'm not sure when those rules changed.

Sounds like Bob Jones in Greenville...

It's their religion. They like archaic, and think you're going to hell.

Well, then, save me a spot next to the cool kid's lava pit, I'll see you there.

I always find it so ironic that these so-called Christian schools have such rules. Theologically, what they're doing is telling kids that "Salvation comes from works (i.e. what you do, and not what you believe)." That is against everything I've EVER been taught. They're totally putting words in God's mouth, so to speak, and it makes me mad.

They actually are Christian schools, not just "so-called" Christian schools.

Perhaps you've interpreted their message inaccurately. One could argue that they're telling their students that what they believe is reflected in their actions. So, if you believe Southern Baptist mores, your actions will reinforce your beliefs. Also, others will see what you believe because of your chosen actions. This is simply a strategic, evangelical move. Witnessing is good. Especially if you're in the business of attracting and retaining students.

I totally agree with you about being angered by someone who puts words in God's mouth.

How do you know what all Christian universities are telling kids? There is a broad spectrum of Christian universities in this country, and it's not a good idea to assume what any of them are "telling" their students. But, it's probably fair to say that most Christian schools encourage their students to love and care for their fellow man, and one of the easiest and most effective ways to show that care is through action. Really, though, I see that just as much a "Golden rule" as anything.

But that has nothing to do with dress code. The schools that dictate dress code through ridiculous rules like women not being permitted to wear pants, don't trust their students. That's the bottom line. They don't trust their students to make grown-up decisions based on thought versus "feelings." THAT is the kind of Christian school you're talking about, and it's the minority. I'd appreciate it if you didn't group ALL Christian schools in with the extreme ones.

I missed the "ALL" part in what she said. "These 'so-called'" doesn't imply all.

I'm a proud alumna of a good Southern Baptist school which was listed in Playboy's "Top Ten Party Schools" back in the eighties. Good times.
