vagina follow-up

In case you haven't heard, the three girls who were suspended for uttering the evil word "vagina" onstage at a school event have had their suspensions rescinded.

Eve Ensler, author of "The Vagina Monologues," will speak at the school, at the parents' invitation. Also, Ensler and the three girls will address the district school board. The school faculty supports the three girls, and will hold a discussion about the play.

This outcome is more consistent with the suburban New York State I grew up in. I had been wondering if wingnuts had taken over Westchester County, and am relieved to know that reason has prevailed.

Bill O'Reilly disagrees.

Thanks to M@ for alerting me to the follow-up, as I was lost in a writing assignment.
