It's That Time of Year For Productions of the Vagina Monologues Again

Some Catholic Colleges permit the Vagina Monologues, but that number is finally dwindling after the Cardinal Newman Society launched an opposition campaign.

"...Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) thanked Father Michael Engh, S.J., President of Santa Clara University, a Jesuit college, for cancelling a scheduled production of The Vagina Monologues. "

Santa Clara is cancelled. There are about 15 colleges on the article listed that still don't seem to have gotten the message that play doesn't belong at a Catholic school. Why, well....why should this be part of anyone's educational experience:

"The Vagina Monologues is a sexually explicit and offensive play that favorably describes lesbian activity, group masturbation and the reduction of sexuality to selfish pleasure."

Read the whole article. Here's the link to the article at the Cardinal Newman Society: http://www.cardinalnewmansociety.org/CardinalNewmanSociety/

While you are there, take a few minutes to look at the list to the right about Catholic colleges. If you want to send your child to a Catholic college, this can help you find information you want.
