The title is exactly as it appears in the Post. And I don't know why the quotes are there either. I am finding it an unnecessary and offensive bit of "editorializing".

What I often do in this situation is to put the phrase "[sic]" after the word or phrase in question, to show that I am repeating accurately an inaccurate or incorrect spelling or usage.

Once my wife was quoting, in writing, a written comment by the top person at her organization. But that written comment by the top person had a mistake in usage. I wanted her to use [sic] but for some reason she opposed the idea.
