CULTURE: High School Honors Students Suspended for Saying "Vagina"

Here's your little dose of hilarity for today:

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!

Who takes a child to see "The Vagina Monologues" anyway?

That school must have a great science department.

That'll teach 'em for confusing vagina with vulva!

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.

what was the context of the word. like did they say "i rub my vagina" because thats inappropriate or "he rubs my vagina" but "i have a vagina" not inappropriate. and to what JoLeigh said

twat is my favorite synonym for vagina

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?

shoulda kept it simple and just said vag

funny but without batting an eye they will refer to their dick or rod or johnson.

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.

Next they'll be dancing.

should have said "na na"... You can get upset with na na...

I'm with Aleksa who takes their children to the 'Vagina Monologues and isn't expecting to Scar them for life? Hah i love high skool logic!

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!

jus reminded me of a south park repeat last night all about the word shit, its the lessons the kids get that i'm mainly speaking of

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.

/sarcasm

If you can't call it a vagina, what the hell are you supposed to call it?

THAT IS WHAT IT IS CALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's like banning people from using the word nose, or ear, for fuck's sake, what is with this insanity?!

AAAAAAGGGGHHH.

vagina! vagina! vagina!

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