Oregon forces all schools — elementary and up — to put 'menstrual products' in boys' bathrooms with 'instructions on how to use' them
THEBLAZE ^ | 5/4/2022 | PHIL SHIVER

The law aims to 'affirm the right to menstrual dignity for transgender, intersex, nonbinary, and two-spirit students.'

Every public school in Oregon — including elementary institutions — will soon be required to provide tampons and other feminine products in boys' bathrooms with "instructions on how to use" them.

The controversial requirement is in accordance with the state's new Menstrual Dignity Act, signed into law by Democratic Gov. Kate Brown last year, which mandates that menstrual products be made available in "every student bathroom."

Following the bill's passage, the Oregon Department of Education developed and distributed a "Medical Dignity for Students" toolkit to aid local districts and set forth a phased plan for districts to meet the law's standards and requirements.

Effective immediately, each school is required to have menstrual product dispensers in at least two bathrooms. But by June 2023, dispensers are required in every student bathroom, KGW-TV reported. The department emphasized that schools must "consider all-gender access to the products."

Sasha Grenier, a sexual health specialist with the department, said, "This new program will help students participate actively in classes and school activities by alleviating some of the economic strain and experiences of shame that are often barriers for menstruating people accessing their education."

50% of American girls start menstruating around age 12 in 6th grade.

Note to boys and girls: Those pads are great for cleaning guns. I have been known to steal a few when in a public bathroom that was denoted for both sexes.

You know it. Idiot administrators are not taking into account how 10 year old boys think - such as, "do they burn?" and "would these go good with firecrackers?"

Having once been a boy in elementary school, I can confidently predict that no more than 90 seconds will pass before some kid decided to see what twenty tampons, all at once, will do to a public school’s plumbing system.

Radio host Michael Savage generated one of the most prophetic and astute sayings with “Liberalism is a mental disorder”. He was absolutely right. It is a serious, dangerous mental disorder. I don’t know the treatment.

There is a special, new kind of ignorance sweeping this nation, an ignorance grown in the s#it filled waters of social media. Ignorance has always had a place in human existence, from people going over Niagara Falls in a barrel to one man’s belief in a master race, but this new tide of ignorance has the special ability to COMPLETELY ignore reality with a straight and serious face.
