Leaving off the "saint" is not the most worrisome attack on the Christian aspect of this holiday. This is: http://www.vday.org/main.html.

Right now, at my "conservative" southern, state-run university, the campus is plastered with flyers for "The V----a Monologues," sponsored by the university's center for women's studies... Try explaining to your kid why they can't go see this play or what a v----a is.... Tasteless, tactless and just plain gross.

V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sexual slavery.

What is wrong with that?

I've never seen the Vagina Monologues and have no plan to. But you seem to think there's something inherently wrong with the word itself and/or explaining what it is to a child.

Better you should explain it than one of his/her school chums.
