BYU Sticking to its Moral Guns

Posted by Emily Farris

You've gotta love Brigham Young University for sticking to its Mormon moral guns. In an article in BYU's NewsNet today promoting their International Relations major, they managed to squeeze in this tidbit from the "CIA, FBI and National Security":

The CIA, FBI and National Security like to recruit from BYU because of its honor code and the lifestyle of most of its students, according to Kinjo. They said that if a person drinks, does drugs, has explicit sex or gambles, it can put them in a compromising position. Generally, BYU students don't get involved with those things.

"Has explicit sex"? QAs opposed to the implicit sex that BYU students are having?

Well, when they get married at 19/21 and are having babies left and right you can assume they're having some sex, they're just not having it with random drunk people at parties.

There are a lot of Mormons in military intelligence.  Linguists (spies!) and the like.

"Explicit sex"? You've probably heard the word 'dumb' before, and so the impact of my calling this dumb will be lessened.  Still, this is dumb.  And dumb in a really pure way, like your friend who was still calling your video game console 'intendo' when he was thirteen or a friend I have who used to think 'jimgested' was a real word.  Dumb.
