In recent days, some of us have been ranting about the American Academy of Pediatrics, and its softening on FGM, or female genital mutilation — more modern and “sensitive” types call it FGC, for “female genital cutting.” The AAP has a rival, apparently: the ACP, or American College of Pediatricians. The latter group has just come out with a strong, unequivocal statement against FGM, FGC, whatever — a nasty practice, which Americans should think twice before tolerating. For the ACP’s press release, go here.

And thank goodness for a diversity or choice of professional groups, you know?
