WINONA, Minn. -- After all the radio interviews, after all the newspaper stories and television stories and hundreds and hundreds of e-mails, Carrie Rethlefsen ended her lesson in free speech and democracy today by doing a simple thing:
She walked into school with her "I [heart] My Vagina" T-shirt's message in plain sight. About 40 classmates had walked in just seconds before after turning their T-shirts inside out.
And, minutes later, she emerged with another lesson learned. The administrators at Winona Senior High School mean what they say. They sent her home for the day.
"I'm happy," said Rethlefsen, 18. "I got my message out there."
What began as a simple act of defiance -- she wore a "I [heart] My Vagina" button to school to raise awareness about violence against women, even after officials told her not to -- evolved into a platform to talk about women's rights, the fight against violence and freedom of speech that she couldn't have imagined two weeks ago.

Proof positive that our culture has produced a generation whose brains are located between their legs.
"One of the most hillarious episodes of my life began in the produce section of my local grocery store."
I tried to pick a woman in the produce section once. I asked her if she could tell me how to prepare squash. She replied " stuff it".
Looks like the chick from the X-Files and Jodie Foster had a love child.
"NOTHING CAN DEFEAT THE PENIS!"
"Who wrote the stuff Laura Bush used the other night?"
I think he is the guy who left the White House this morning with a pink slip in his hand. LOL
BTW: Yooper, I think I've heard your story before. It began as "Dear Penthouse forum..."
Or how about half the school with shirts~We all love Carrie's vagina...
I beat my ellipses? I don't get it. (/sarcasm)
It would serve her right if everyone left vibrators in her front yard.
Let her walk through the streets of Baghdad, wearing that shirt. Then I'll be impressed.
transphobia...must be an irrational fear of transsexuals. Not a problem for me - I just dislike them.
No doubt he is using crullers and honey dipped donuts in his demonstrations. These are very hard lessons.
Very good point.
aw heck the whole Blue Collar Comedy crew would have fun with this one.
lol.."Git-r-done!"
Somehow, the lasses that do these stupid things always have mothers who express mild dismay but observe that her daughter is very strong-willed and determined. The girl might be in desperate need of attention but "it takes an addle-brained mother to raise a nitwit" that advertises the presence of her sex organs.
Here's a photo of the lass. Does not look like an idiot. Just goes to show that appearances can be deceiving.
Or, "Carrie's vagina? Been there, done that"
Or, "I (heart) Carries vagina, warts & all!"
Or, just a simple, "Got clap?"
I think she'd get the message if she weren't allowed to graduate with the rest of her class.
