In July 2009, Akaash Iqbal, a 14 year old brit, was forced out of school for flying the flag of manliness atop his upper lip. His father is correctly outraged, but for the wrong reasons. He wishes the mustache to stay, but only to prevent shaving from bringing it in fuller. THIS is the silent danger to mustaches that hides behind discrimination- the father protects son, but not mustache! Of what worth is a son if he is allowed to enter manhood without knowing the true dignity that is being a mustachioed Island glowing out radiantly among the sea of barren faces that is today’s society?
