Again, I don't think we disagree here. What I can't fathom is, what exactly did the admin. think they were getting with the "student version" that they were under the impression was being produced? If one objects to anything in Chicago, I can't imagine a version that would be considered unobjectionable. That's not to say that I agree that there is anything objectionable, just that it doesn't compute that if you are someone who objects to the un-edited play that there could possibly exist a version you don't object to.

So I guess that means that either the admin. had no more than a vague idea about the content of the play and just took someone's word for it that they had a version that was somehow censored to remove anything objectionable. Or, more likely, some parent with pull got wind and their sensibilities were offended so they made noise.
