But being clean shaven has become part of our culture and wearing a beard is no longer acceptable, especially for someone in authority.
Ah, you mean like white shirts as a general policy just because the IBM corporation does it that way. Just think of those apostates at Apple that don't even wear a tie and some even have beards. When you allow such individuality to flourish are you not sowing the seeds of creativity and thinking, which leads to all sorts of things.
