On Monday March 12, 2007 Students were suspended for saying the word vagina.
A Westchester, New York high school Principal said that when a group of students performed the play the "vagina monolougues" in front of an audience that may have had some young attendees, the word vagina should not have been used.
The Principal said he was not trying to restrict the students free speech but he said the word was just not appropriate for some of the audience and he said that the word should not have been said out of respect for the community and the performers young guest.

I agree with the respect point of view but this Principal is a little wierd because how many young kids not in high school already know what the word vagina means?
