"12 Year Old Girl Banned From School Football Team For Inciting Lust"
Another questionable WaPo headline. Why is "inciting lust" in quotes? First, we get something the mother of girl said: "In the meeting with the CEO of the school, I was told that the reasons behind it were... that the boys were going to start lusting after her, and have impure thoughts about her," [Paige’s mother, Cassy Blythe] said. "And that locker room talk was not appropriate for a female to hear, even though she had a separate locker room from the boys."
Then, the WaPo "social reader" writer Dan Carson opines:
I’m no philosopher, but when you ban preteen girls from being around boys while wearing shoulder pads, “inciting lust” sounds like a flimsy reason. After all, the rest of the girls on school grounds are wearing skirts and polos and aren’t covered in reeking hand-me-down padding."

Well, banning the kids game of "Tag" all started with T-Ball IMO. Slippery slope indeed.
