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."

I hope that the machines in the boys’ bathrooms get vandalized to sh**.
I live in Oregon for now. You can include at least Ashland and Eugene in any and all imbecility.
Last I heard, elementary school females don’t need those products either.
People need to start achieving ambient temperature.
I agree, but my wife and older son think there is hope. I am ready for Texas or Florida.
Tampons make good first aid for gunshot wounds, if the hole is big enough. I’ve got a couple in my med kit.
This is the stupidest thing that I’ve heard of.
We have grown adults who know better are pushing this evil stuff.
There is no excuse for them.
Stupid should hurt.
Wow, a state dumber than CA or NY ... historical.
.003 percent of boys will be so relieved.
These will become the most vandalized machines in creation.
Keep it up, Dems! Your insanity is showing like the sun on a bright summer morning. The only thing left is for your insane voters to awaken from their cult-like trance and vote you out of office for the next 50 years or so.
Don't give the weirdos any new ideas...
Never trust anyone named Sasha.
Flush some every time you use the bathroom.
Another reason to homeschool.
The sex education classes that have been taught in our schools for 50 years have been a farce.
Don’t worry, they’ve just set the mark, to which the other evil demonrat States will aim to beat. When you think they’ve hit bottom, they grab a shovel and start digging!
Sick. Twisted. Disgusting. Bizarre.
put some down the toilets. That will end it.
Make them pay millions to remove some of the toilets and install urinals. Every bathroom in every school and government building must have urinals.
