The three girls suspended for saying the word 'vagina' during a high school reading of an excerpt from The Vagina Monologues have had their sentences rescinded. Or postponed. The article is not clear.

But still... for saying vagina? Brother.



Vaginavaginavaginavagina. There. Nyah.

You are now suspended indefinitely!

You vagina!

After your suspension, you can get out of the indefinite study hall in the library by saying scrotum.

Dude. We read Huck Finn aloud. Try the N-word sometime. (That was when I was *teaching*, not a student, btw.)

I always get the feeling that the Post spends the bulk of their time on headlines. :P

This is a better article: http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007703140373 They won't have to serve their suspensions and the author of tVM will come speak at the school soon. :)

That said, the dude wearing the "free the vagina three" shirt needs to sit down. :P

the first time i saw the Vagina monologues, I decided I would say "vagina" every day. And it went on for a while, but i got slack. Imagine that - slack in my "vagina" rather than a vagina in my slacks. ;-)

Then there was this guy I know and his kid was riding in the car with him and the kid got all serious and said "Dad, I know what the "F" word is" and dad tried not to laugh and said "What?" and the kid got all serious faced and said "Fagina".

those are my vagina stories.

VAGINA!!!

On a somewhat related note, the WA legislature is currently debating a bill that would reassert the freedom of speech rights of high-school and college journalists, preventing school officials from stopping the publication of stories they don't like.

Sorry, clicked the wrong "reply" link the first time. Duh.

I wonder what they call the vagina in anatomy class...

And I've been wondering how they introduced what they were reading to the open mic night without saying "vagina."
