Can the Washington Post please not slut-shame a child?

Barack Obama may have deemed it a part of “phony culture wars” ginned up by right-wing conspiracy theorists, but the criminal justice system has determined that the alleged rape in a Loudoun County public school restroom was very, very real. The “gender-fluid” boy charged with raping a teenage girl in a Stone Bridge High School girls’ restroom has been convicted on two felony counts — forcible sodomy and forcible fellatio.

Between the county school board’s pathological dishonesty and ineptitude regarding the rape and the prosecutor’s crusade against the victim’s father, the media have every obligation to continue to unpack the scandals still unsurfaced.
