Here's your little dose of hilarity for today:



A public high school has suspended three students who disobeyed officials by saying the word "vagina" during a reading from a well-known feminist play.

....

Principal Richard Leprine said Tuesday that the girls were punished because they disobeyed orders, not because of what they said.



The event was open to the community, including children, and the word was not appropriate, Leprine said in a statement. He said the girls had been told when they auditioned that they could not use the word.



So lessee . . . they were told not to say "vagina," but when they did they were suspended not for saying it but for disobeying a command not to say it. And "vagina" is not an appropriate word for the community, especially children. Even though half of all children have them, all children come out of them, and the community includes vagina-havers among its members.



Bitch_PhD's vagina is eminently appropriate, thankyouverymuch.

But- but- genitals are evil! We mustn't mention them around the children! They might learn they have them, and then what mischief might ensue!

i get a REAL kick out of the fact that these are HIGH SCHOOL kids. Vagina is probably the least offensive word coming out of their mouth.

I once had to say the word "Octopussy" when ordering a movie ticket, but that was a long time ago and I'm almost over it now.

Kudos to those girls (vagina havers) for not giving in to the idea that VAGINA is an inappropriate word!

(Of course, I'm sure that this school would also say that penis is inappropriate too, to which I am equally flabbergasted and ashamed.)

Guuuuuys,,,

What's a Vagina?

I thought it was a secret bonus level in Sonic The Hedgehog 2. But then someone mentioned that we're born with them. I sure as fuck wasn't! It took me almost a year to get there! So if babies are being born with this these days, I'm pissed off cause I worked so hard to get my Vagina.

And wow! What an advancement in technology that we are able to do this, eh?

how stupid. If a kid doesn't know what a vagina is, then their unaffected anyways, they will just remain clueless. If a kid does know, then you aren't really preventing anything from happening except maybe some level of giggling.

My conclusion, high schools don't want a woman president.

Vaginas are evil! My WoW character got banned because his name, Sahnigahv, was basically "vaginas" backwards with a coupla h's thrown in for disguise.

Sinep would have been too obvious.

I came out of a vagina, but my mom said I was born sideways.

how exactly does one put on "the vagina monologues" without saying "vagina"? did they censor the play's title, too?

I'd like to know the context they said it in... because I'm curious just how they wanted them to leave the word out.
I'd imagine it was sort of important to the script.... Were they friviously saying it? Were they throwing vagina around like nobodys business?

if so... what a play!

The acknowledgment of the vagina is a serious blow to the abstinence-only education movement in high schools. If word gets out to teenagers that, yes they in fact, do have a vagina, they'll probably want to start touching it, or looking at it.

Naturally, since both of these actions alone directly lead to pregnancy and AIDS, this is something that we should try to discourage students from doing.

"Beaver" is a derogatory term. They prefer to be called "vagina squirrels."
