For instance, what if one of these students wore what he or she wanted and decided to become a teacher. Before doing that, the person must student teach. What school would allow a man dressed as a woman or woman dressed like a man to instruct those students? Teachers have an implied moral code of conduct that they adhere to. No one tells you that you CANNOT be a tranny stipper and do lap dances at night, and take half naked pics with people of the same sex and plaster them on social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, BlackPlanet, etc. You just don’t do that. And to avoid projecting an image that is counterproductive to the kind of reputation and atmosphere they endeavor to maintain, I cannot find fault in them prohibiting this type of behavior.

People need to realize they can be whoever they chose to be on their own time and own dime. We, as African Americans, have all kinds of stereotypes, biases, stereotypes, and injustices that we fight on a daily basis despite the progress that has been made. Why tarnish the work that so many people have fought and died to create and uphold? There is nothing positive about RuPaul’s Drag Race parading about the HBCU campuses. HEll! Even RuPaul knows when to put on a suit!!!!

My two cents

On subject, though, Morehouse is not doing anything to promote diversity or tolerance or any of that other nonsense. They’re image shaping, plain and simple. They wanna look a certain way to the public and they’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen, including making gay people look less “gay”, whatever that looks like…
