If Brigham Young wanted to enroll at his namesake university, he’d have to shave his beard. A number of other former Latter-day Saint prophets would have to do the same.

Warner Woodworth, an emeritus professor from Brigham Young University, argues that’s just wrong. So he launched a Change.org petition urging the Provo school to end its prohibition on whiskers.

Others have tried before to overturn the 1960s-era beard ban but failed. Still, Woodworth is confident this push will succeed.

On this week’s show, Woodworth talks about his campaign to “bring back the beard” at BYU.
