Well we all remember the little incident which sparked the terrible column
in the Toronto paper... Guess what?  ANOTHER YMCA in ANOTHER town has tried
to ban public nursing.

Seems the teenage boys and men playing basketball might get all hot and
bothered watching a woman breastfeeding.  (Yes, that was a serious concern
raised).  And lemee get this straight, someone's getting all excited over
watching a woman breastfeed and *she* has to leave?  um... ok....

the original story

http://www.alternamoms.com/wwwboard/forum04/messages/613.html is what
happened when the mothers went to go discuss the policy with the YMCA people.
