ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- An all-male college in Atlanta, Georgia, has banned the wearing of women's clothes, makeup, high heels and purses....The dress-wearing ban is aimed at a small part of the private college's 2,700-member student body, said Dr. William Bynum, vice president for Student Services.
"We are talking about five students who are living a gay lifestyle that is leading them to dress a way we do not expect in Morehouse men," he said.

....blacks are rougher on queers than whites...try this on a predominately white liberal campus and there would be a problem.
OOOps....but I thought all Blacks were soooooo socially ‘progressive”...maybe not.
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) — An all-male college in Atlanta, Georgia, has banned the wearing of women’s clothes, makeup, high heels and purses as part of a new crackdown on what the institution calls inappropriate attire.
William Bynum says he discussed the new dress-wearing ban policy with Morehouse’s campus gay organization.
No dress-wearing is part of a larger dress code launched this week that Morehouse College is calling its “Appropriate Attire Policy.”
The policy also bans wearing hats in buildings, pajamas in public, do-rags, sagging pants, sunglasses in class and walking barefoot on campus.
However, it is the ban on cross-dressing that has brought national attention to the small historically African-American college.
...
EW!
...
Those breaking the policy will not be allowed to go to class unless they change. Chronic dress-code offenders could be suspended from the college.
Bynum said the policy comes from the vision of the college’s president, who wants the institution to create leaders like notable graduates Martin Luther King Jr., actor Samuel Jackson and film director Spike Lee.
...
A black college for losers!
Think we could have a WHITE college?
Or an ASIAN college?
Just wondering ... since this is a BLACK college.
“We are talking about five students who are living a gay lifestyle”
Ok, if they are gay, then they shouldn’t want to dress like women. And if they are “transexuals”, ie they think they are really women in a man’s body, then they shouldn’t be going to a men’s college. Take off the dress or go to another school, problem solved.
can a white person go to a so called black college?
I took my son to a fight at a so called black college my ten year back then said.
“Dad I don’t get it why do blacks have this when it would be racist if whites had schools called white colleges”
I swear kids can see the hypocrisy and the left cannot.
It really shows how dumb those on the left are, it’s like the left cannot think for themselves. They just go with what they are told by the way of bumper sticker slogans and they do not question or think .
so sad we have so many idiots and they seem to be always on the left
CNN’s video discussion on this issue (between black news anchor TJ Holmes and black Dr. Steve Perry) actually makes sense.
"Klan Kollege, a small, white caucasian college in Atlanta."
We have and allow all-black colleges to exist? All black male colleges? What's next, 'Harvey Milk All-Gay, All-Black, All-Male College'????????
How does it make you feel every time you hear about the 'Congressional Black Caucus.'????????????????????????????????
What the hell kind of asshole country have we become????? I thought for a moment we all Americans, all in favor of Liberty and Freedom for all! Guess not!
If it is a private school, receiving no public funds, simply do not enroll any queers.
When I enlisted in the Navy (goin’ on half a hundred years ago) I was given a checklist of diseases to say if I had or had ever had them. One item was “homosexual tendencies”. Have the kids fill it out, and lying on the form is grounds for dismissal.
Of corse, if federal funds are involved, queers rule.
So, IOW, this college is not extending any endowments?
“Klan Kollege, a small, white caucasian college in Atlanta.”
Ku Klux U. That’d make for some interesting t-shirts...
Well, they'd be the one school with a white running back on their team.
Your not kidding. I work with a lot of blacks and when the subject of gays comes up the “f” word is flying, and I don’t mean fairy. I was telling one of the young guys about boot camp and showering with about 60 other guys. He said he would be afraid someone would grab his a$$. I laughed and told him if someone did they would not be walking out of the shower, they would be carried out.
I’ll explain this once: I’ve visited several historically black colleges and I’ve always seen white students there.
Of course they aren’t restricted by race. But when blacks weren’t allowed to attend most (white) colleges, they made their own all black ones. When desegregation ended, so did that exclusiveness but the fact is, most whites don’t want to go to a mostly black school and until that ends, they will remain mostly black.
BTW: most of the black schools I’ve been to have also had stricter dress and behavior codes then other colleges, Morehouse is actually just catching up in this regard
