byu honor code honored?!

i have to be honest, when i was in school, i didn't always agree with the honor code, and i especially didn't agree on how it was enforced in certain circumstances. however, the author of this article makes a great point that the honor code shouldn't be considered a 'cruel dictate from a mercileus father. It is a moral compass to guide us through a dangerous world.'

the article further lauds byu for its unwavering pursuit of 'educat[ing] the spirit as well as the mind.'

i think brigham young would be proud.
