Censorship gone Wild

Hey girl students it is okay to participate in having sex in the school. Sex only beocmes a problem when you talk about it or discuss sexuality within the school setting. For example, two students in Indiana were not hiding out in an empty classroom having sex. No, the two students engaged in a sexual act while the teacher and other students were present in the classroom. Yes. And when the school learned about the sixth graders inappropriate behavior, the school wanted the matter to be the school's little secret. Sounds similiar to a don't ask, don't tell policy, I heard about coming from the military. Almost.

But when it came to talking about same sex issue, a student newspaper in Indiana found itself under scrutiny. Megan Chase wrote the article and it provoked the principal of the school into taking over the student ran newspaper. New rule for the school's student newspaper, from now on, articles will have to get the thumbs up from the publisher, the principal. This way, the student's newspaper will become the Principal's exercise in limited free speech.

And for those young women out there who believed they've come a long way,baby. New York got some news for you. Three young women were suspended for saying the V word during a reading in their school. No the students did not use the F word, it was the V word that got these sassy maturing teens booted from the school. No girl power is to be expressed in that school.


And girls after you learn that you are to shut up and it okay to have sex. Wait until you get to college in DePauw University in Indians for another defining moment. There a soriority booted girls for not having the right looks, ugly Betty no need of applying. **Messages being sent to you sistas, listen up** Girls you need to learn how to follow the rules. You know the rules that you are to be seen not heard. Where are the Dixie Chicks when you need them?
