Crap. Let's do this again.....
Apparently saying the word 'vagina' can get you suspended from school. It's insane. I mean, there's nothing dirty about using the word 'vagina' or 'penis'. They're part of our daily vocabulary. Anyways, these girls were suspended from school for using the v-word, taken from the play the Vagina Monolouges.

CROSS RIVER, New York (AP) - 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.
The honour students, Megan Reback, Elan Stahl and Hannah Levinson, included the word during their reading of "The Vagina Monologues" because "it wasn't crude and it wasn't inappropriate and it was very real and very pure," Reback said.
Their defiant stand is being applauded by the play's author, who said Tuesday that the school should be celebrating, rather than punishing, the three juniors.
"Don't we want our children to resist authority when it's not appropriate and wise?" said Eve Ensler, author of "The Vagina Monologues."
