BYU Honor Code Exposed


At last! Public proof that the BYU honor code is ridiculously out of touch with students. I love BYU, don't get me wrong, but I like free agency better.
Heard of the Facebook page "BYU-I Secrets"? The idea is that students can send secret thoughts and actions anonymously, to be posted to the now over 3,000 people who have liked the page.
It's an honest and sometimes painful glimpse of the sexual frustration, social repression, and sometimes depressing state of BYU Idaho's students. People criticize or comfort each other, act self-righteous or rebellious, and all around expose the disfunctional and Orwellian idea that a University, even if it's the Lord's, can control the thoughts and actions of it's thousands of very different students.  Take a look if you dare.

BYU Provo has one as well, though it is less popular.
