Have you heard about the"Five Wells: well read, well spoken, well-traveled, well dressed and well balanced." Morehouse College, the historically black all-male college in Atlanta, wants its students to adhere to a dress code.
The "well dressed" portion of the creed includes things like not wearing do-rags outside of residence halls, no sunglasses in class, no jeans at major programs, no pajamas outside of the dorm, no dental grills, no women's garb and my personal favorite: no sagging.
"Each student must promote and portray a positive image and properly represent themselves and the college," the notice says.
The changes don't seem to be too radical. In fact, most of them seem like common sense.
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of seeing young boys' dirty boxers and people walking down the street in pajamas. How lazy is that? I can't believe people are so busy that they can't throw on a pair of pants or shorts before leaving their homes.
Unfortunately, not everyone grows up with a parent like mine. I couldn't imagine trying to walk out of my house in my PJs. If my mother found out I tried to wear sunglasses in class I would have been punished. Part of Morehouse's mission should be to teach young men about how the decisions you make reflect on you. Wearing do-rags all the time and pajamas outside send the message that you don't care about your appearance.
