[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the theory against non-religious based facial hair? I'm curious as to the reasoning.[/quote]

Because they're children, not adults.

Moustaches and beards on high schoolers never look great. If a school has a dress code or uniforms, it makes perfect sense they also have policies regarding facial hair along with things like earrings or tattoos, and, of course, types of haircuts or hair lengths for boys. [/quote]
But if they are actually growing facial hair they are not small children, and it seems to follow they can decide what to do with it. Do these schools have mandates on if a boy or girl can shave their legs and if so what age it is allowed? Do they have mandates on if unibrows are allowed? (a different kind of facial hair…)
It’s not as if they are wearing a stick on beard pretending to have facial hair. And as for it not looking good, I think it’s one of the things about youth, [b]finding out the hard way you look a little (or a lot) silly[/b].[/quote]

Pretty sure most private schools want to avoid having students “look silly”.   If having your child grow facial hair in high school is important to you, there are plenty of schools where that’s an option.  [/quote]
