The offensive play is scheduled to show on February 11 at the Soda Center. If the play is not canceled, students will be invited to see a production full of explicit discussions of sexuality and sexual encounters, including lesbian activity and masturbation.
This is how one student described the play: “It was a horrible exhibit of vice, lust, and infidelity. Everything about the play was decidedly opposed to everything the Church teaches on abortion, contraception, holy matrimony, modesty, chastity, vulgarity, humility, and reverence.”

| What would Saint de la Salle say about this scandal? |
In fact, Saint Mary’s web site states: “We're a Catholic, Lasallian, liberal arts college, and we're rooted in the life and work of Saint John Baptist de la Salle, founder of the Christian Brothers and the patron saint of teachers. Our traditions and heritage inform everything we do.”
The right course of action is clear: To remain true to its Catholic heritage, Saint Mary’s should cancel the immoral show.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
WHY INFECT THE MINDS OF YOUR STUDENTS?
ARE YOU STOPPING TO BE LASALLIANS?
I AM PRAYING THAT YOU COME TO THE RIGHT DECISION AND CANCEL THAT "v. MONOLOGUES"
Thank you.
1. The play is not mandatory. It is a student activity of the WRC sanctioned by the faculty and Brothers.
2. The play is empowering and educational. It removes the stigma associated with the v-word and generates discussion. When one can talk of the genitalia as though they were no different from an arm, or hair, or a heart, than true knowledge can be built on that foundation
3. YOU ARE NOT STUDENTS AT SMC. By pressuring the administration to stop an event that by all measures is a SMC tradition, you attempt to squelch the activities of students at the university they pay to attend.
For these reasons I hope you agree. While your umbrage may be pure and your outrage righteous, you must not take from the rights of others else you undermine the fundamental rights of man and that is not the Christian thing to do.
Who would be helped by allowing this? Surely students can find better things to do with their time, which is supposed to be used to better their education.
Do the parents who pay for their children's education know how un-Catholic this show is?
