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."

Crazy!
In the 80’s they couldn’t keep T.P. in the boys room with out the roll getting riped out and clogged in the toilet or just pissed on. I don’t see much hope for fem. pads.
Oregon is now more crazy than CA
RE: Oregon forces all schools — elementary and up — to put ‘menstrual products’ in boys’ bathrooms with ‘instructions on how to use’ them
Good God Almighty! Maybe they really do not know the difference!
And to think I was upset when they put baby changing stations in men’s restrooms.
Funny thing. After what? 30 years of those stations in the men’s room, I have never seen anyone changing a baby in a restroom.
Maybe after 30 years of throwing away women’s sanitary products because they are out of date, someone will figure out why.
Some (real) girls may have need of feminine products as early as 4th grade these days. But if a “boy” has need of these items, then “he’s” not really a boy.
Yeah, I’m guessing a whole lot of boys are going to have a whole lot of fun with this one. Some things don’t change. We are what we are...
So like, umm, like where would they ... never mind.
As a former boy myself I know these things are going to be used in some very creative ways.
Dear Oregon Schools:
Could you please explain why people with no ovaries, fallopian tubes or uterus need menstrual products? Could you also explain how people with no vagina are meant to use tampons?
Just curious.
These freak Oregonians are transplants from Kalifornicate. Sick mofos!!
Instructions on how to??? Will there be a written test???
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Insanity. How is this not child abuse?
"with 'instructions on how to use' them"Since schools no longer teach kids to read, that won't be of much help.
If they are for free wait for boys to take a bunch of them and throw them in a toilet to back it up.
No.
It is the fault of US citizens, who do not roll up their sleeves, and step up to put a permanent end to this shit!
Yes they do, in a big way! Menstrual pads are even worse.
I expect lots of plumbing problems and bathroom flooding.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets a tampon stuck up his ass.
And it will happen in the course of time
I guess the boys could use those tampons for
hearing protection in shop class. With a
string hangin’ out each ear.
