Students' `vagina' Suspensions Lifted

[Sequoia]

The one-day suspensions imposed on three high school students for including the word "vagina" in a reading from "The Vagina Monologues" have been rescinded, one girl's mother said Tuesday.

Louise Katzin, mother of 16-year-old Hannah Levinson, said the school superintendent called her Monday night to say the suspensions had been lifted.

Calls by The Associated Press to the other students, Megan Reback and Elan Stahl, also 16, were not immediately returned Tuesday. School board President Peter Breslin said he could not comment on school discipline matters.

The girls' defiance of school officials, who had told them not to use the word at the March 2 reading, had won support from Eve Ensler, author of "The Vagina Monologues," and many teachers and parents in the district. Ensler has since accepted an invitation from parents to speak at the school, a visit that was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but has been postponed to March 28.

12. Vaginal prolapse. You asked for it.

Vaginal prolapse is characterized by a portion of the vaginal canal protruding from the opening of the vagina.

7. Not surprising, since even their Principal had said she supported them.

Nice to hear, though!

[riderinthestorm]

18. The Principal suspended the girls, the Asst Principal supported the girls' position. nt

10. I would just like to thank repressed & freaky people all across this dysfunctional country

for years of giggling laughter. I wish I were more eloquent so I could compose a soaring lengthy thankyou note in your praise. Instead I can think of only one simple sound to express my boundless gratitude for the lifetime of entertainment and joy you've given me.

VAGINA!

11. Vagina Is For Lovers. You put me in a happy state.

[kestrel91316]

13. Vagina is in the dictionary. It's a medical and anatomical term.

It is NOT, I repeat NOT a cuss word, epithet, obscene, or profane.

These freaks are REALLY starting to piss me off.

[BlueIris]

14. Shhhh. The beady-eyed misogynists with hang-ups are crawling all over DU today.

Don't be throwing any rationality at 'em. Their tiny brains can't handle it and they go all weird and crazy-like.

[TahitiNut]

15. In a related story, several boys diagnosed with undescended testicles.

:rofl:

[shain from kane]

16. Mine exploded.

[TahitiNut]

17. I remember feeling like they did.

(sigh) Those were the years. :evilgrin:

[Solon]

21. Hey, that's unfair!

I only had one drop. :(

OK, just kidding. :evilgrin:

[Bronyraurus]

22. That's ridiculous.

That said, The Vagina Monologues suck way hard.

[Beausoir]

24. I am proud of those young women. It takes courage to stand up.

They are all bright and beautiful and they give me hope.

Well done, Ladies!
