Paige has been asked by the heads of Strong Rock Christian, a K-12 private school in Locust Grove, Ga., to leave her football team as a preemptive measure against inciting lecherous and debauched temptations in other 12-year-olds.
"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," she 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."
Well private schools, don't like a private schools policies don't send your kids to one.
And frankly Pubescent aged children have been known to get trouble with their hormones, not surprising a religious private school would suggest teen age girls and boys should play on their own teams.

How is that? Mind explaining as opposed to making non complete hyperbole?

The school took a pre-emptive measure towards preventing possible abuse. It's too bad all the public school rape cases that are reported daily aren't given the same attention and thought. But you don't care about those do you?

That is actually incredibly sexist. You propose that ALL women are at a disadvantage when playing 'men's sports'.
The fact that it's called 'men's sports' is sexist in itself. Your argument from personal experience doesn't really hold any weight to be honest.
And tell me, what is a "girl's sport"?
