Ironically, bare shoulders were common at BYU prior to mid 60s

Perhaps she should try going to a real art school where her project would be judged on its merits.

That's the real answer.

True, but that would involve defying the parents, who are probably paying the bill for tuition, which would require independence, which is damn near impossible, given the current cost of out of state tuition these days.
I doubt any serious artist would ever choose to go to a school that censored Rodin's the Kiss. It didn't say she was majoring in art. She's just a kid who took an art class and got 0/100 on an art project that's one year removed from HS, because, as a adult, she committed the new and improved sin of baring one's porn shoulders in public.
An act permissible if you're making the church money, as a cheerleader or a hawaiian dancer in a Hula Skirt, but not if you're just a peon student giving Penis holder rapists a hard on with your suggestive shoulders!

Reminds me of this oldie but goodie where the church plucked the wings off of angels and sewed some nifty sleeves to cover their naked shoulders.

I hope this hits the National Press, perhaps starting with the Huff Post.

This is BYU-Idaho, which is even worse than the one in Utah.

This is a great example of their majorly fucked up policy of "living in the world, but not OF the world." The worst part is that the victim blames herself for putting her beloved professor in a bind.

I really wish they would shut down their pseudo institutions of higher learning.

I wish the Mormons would Get This:


"True virtue has nothing to do with modesty but with good living, and it can only be taught by compassion and love. Enforced virtue doesn’t exist."

this is Precisely where the LDS train jumps the tracks (? forgive my Railway analogy?)


there is literally Nothing to add to this, god natt, alle

How did the art student violate the dress code? Her shoulders weren't exposed, rather the model's were (gasp). So, are they calling this pornagraphy or something?

Thanks for these links koriwhore and Tall Man! It gives me good stuff to post on FB! My TBM friends are strangely silent when I post stuff like this!

The church produces parents who produce kids who make affirmative decisions to attend these schools, and who by their tacit acceptance of such decisions, validate this kind of nonsense. If they want to know who to blame, they should go look in the mirror.

She should have used this image:

Then, had she been flunked for bare shoulders (gasp!), the irony would be so thick you could cut it with a bra strap :)

So the question raised by this is how the hell did MORmONs devolve since the mid 60's, into over sexualizing women's shoulders and considering them pornographic?
And why the double standard?
Why are BYU Cheeleaders shoulders not pornographic but female students are required to cover up those porn shoulders?

Are Porn Shoulders OK as long as it's bringing in money to the Morgue?
