why am i not surprised?

from the des moines sunday register on april 24, 2005:

"winona, minn.
students reprimanded for 'vagina' buttons
the off-broadway hit "the vagina monologues" has gotten two high schools 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.
principal nancy wondrasch said some in school find the buttons offensive."

we discussed this in my written comm 2 class this semester-- was about to throw away the paper but wanted to post it first. not going to say much about it. just... why am i not surprised?
