Girl removed from school football team because boys have ‘impure thoughts’

[The Straight Story]

In Georgia, a 12-year-old female football player has been removed from her Christian school’s football team because boys might have “impure thoughts.”

Officials at Strong Rock Christian School worry the female middle school athlete might inspire "lustful thoughts" in the boys on the team, according to a report issued by WSBTV on Thursday, June 20.

12-year-old Maddy Blythe will not be allowed to play football this fall, despite her impressive record as a successful defensive tackle for the Strong Rock Christian School's football team. As a defensive tackle, Blythe had numerous sacks playing for the school’s football team last year, and by all accounts was a strong contributor to the team.

However, according to reports, Strong Rock Christian School CEO Patrick Stuart has reversed school policy that once allowed Maddy to play, using the Bible to justify his decision.

Hoping the school will rethink its decision, Maddy’s mother, Cassy Blythe, has created a “Let Her Play” Facebook page.

1. Well I would expect this from people that use a book

to be their only guide in life. Sad, but predictable.

2. So, it's her fault that the boys will have "impure thoughts"?

When will these people grow the hell up?

9. I'm guessing probably never?

After all they think the earth is 6,000 years old and reject all forms of science backing human reproduction.

16. Actually, kind of nice that we women have so damn much power.

We can create hetro men's lustful thoughts
and we are always accused of "making" them mad
not to mention we drive them to drink
not to mention sometimes driving them crazy

I am Woman Hear Me Roar indeed!

3. No surprise, really;

its this way all over the world, Orthodox Jews, Muslims, y'all can add more, I'm sure, it's always going to be females' fault.

If anyone wonders what the Women's Movement was and is about, just OPEN YOUR EYES!

13. I am ahving a nauseous moment of deja vu...

I came of age in the early 60's....what a repressive era that was.
Everything was always the fault of women, who were apparently responsible for men's anger, men's lust, men's happiness, success, etc.

Thank god for 1970....
an era which apparently has not arrived in all part of this country.

15. Yes, I haven't heard that phrase since Catholic grade school in the 60's.

And it was just a "blame the girl" catch-all just like everyone else has been pointing out here.

4. Uh-oh, thought crimes...

[Rex]

6. Future thought crimes even!

No one yet (has said they thought this way) is accused of thinking like this. It is the schools way of punishing her for being born a female imo. No...this is future thought crimes! Even more bat shit crazy then normal!

5. hey, maddie's mom, instead of the stupid facebook post why

don't you take your daughter out of that cesspool?

7. Why not kick the boys off the team? They're the ones with the impure thoughts.

[hobbit709]

8. I'd say the impure thoughts were inside the skulls of the administration

[justiceischeap]

10. I can only think that maybe there was some sudden "development" on Maddy's part

otherwise, why would the matter of "impure thoughts" come up after already being allowed to play for the team?

11. Maddy and her former cop mom sound kind of awesome

a 12-year-old using the word "archaic" is awesome in itself.

"I think it's kind of crazy and I think it's very archaic and he needs to get with the times," Blythe said.

[Xipe Totec]

12. Now the boys can refocus their lustful thoughts where they belong; each other.... nt

14. My stock reply:

When you choose to send your kid to a religious school or enroll them in a religious organization or choose to work or volunteer at one of the above, you agree to play by their rules. Simple solution...don't do it.

If people stopped, these institutions would either die off or would modify their rules to better fit society.

[ConcernedCanuk]

17. lol - "impure thoughts" indeed.

It is natural for us males to be attracted to females.

If that attraction is what they classify as "impure",

then I'm about as impure as you can get!
