What the hell? What kind of school would do that? :psyduck:

Veronica made a confession of deception, so he felt impelled to come clean about something he was perhaps insecure about?
--- End quote ---
That was my impression. Well, not necessarily impelled. Making a good first impression is nice, deceiving is less so. He may have wanted to come clean, and V gave him a good opportunity.

What do they do about Sikh, arguably Muslim, or Haredi Jewish students? Is this one of those "neutral" grooming standards that is really covert racist or religious bigotry?
--- End quote ---
I second that question.
And I question such a standard in any case: I'm neither Sikh, Muslim, nor Jew, but I keep my beard, and kept it even in the army. (Of course, this was the Norwegian army. For two weeks, before I was transferred to the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment.)
DSL:
Does it have to be "covert racist or religious bigotry" and not just simple ignorance?
Anyone with experience of a small(ish)-town U.S. local school board will understand my question, especially in an area in which people who differ visibly from the local norm are in short supply.

To be fair, this is why I shave so infrequently. I mean, I'm currently growing out a goatee (and it's an awesome goatee) but I should probably shave the other parts more often as opposed to every week or two.

--- Quote from: cesium133 on 05 May 2014, 07:27 ---I just calculated how much I make per hour, given I typically work ~65 hours per week: $6.70/hour. Granted, I am a graduate student, though...
--- End quote ---
Wow! I make just shy of $30/hour, and that's not far above average here in Norway. :psyduck:
