"I support your vagina"



"The off-Broadway hit 'The Vagina Monologues' has gotten two high school students into trouble.

"The students were admonished for wearing buttons inspired by the show that say 'I (heart) My Vagina.'

"The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota has offered to help students fight any consequences from their actions.

"The trouble started last month after student Carrie Rethlefsen saw Eve Ensler's play about female sexuality and sexual violence against women. Rethlefsen and fellow student Emily Nixon soon began wearing the buttons.

"As a show of support, more than 100 students have ordered T-shirts bearing 'I (heart) My Vagina' for girls and 'I Support Your Vagina' for boys."
