I don't know if this is the right forum, so feel free to move it.

Has anyone seen this story? I see today that the suspension has reversed, but what the hell were they thinking? Apparently, the concern was that with children present, saying "vagina" would not be appropriate. Now, certainly the content of the play could be inappropriate for children, but the word, itself? Give me a break. This isn't a slang term or anything. I'm sure it's the same word a doctor would use. What are they supposed to say?
