It wasn’t an article. It was a video [b][i]and the man who wrote the bill said yes[/b][/i] it would prevent girls from talking about menstruation in school. [/quote]

The fking irony[/quote]

+1. Plus i am not sure what is the value of a law that cant really be enforced. Are they going to arrest/fine the teacher who reassures the girl who has the first period in class in 5th grade or her friends who witnessed it (i actually had a classmate ages ago who had blood going down her leg and was in schock saying “what is this?” And we were all watching at the beginning wondering if she was hurt of what so it happens, the teacher helped and called school staff and they helped her, so this happens). Even more, are they going to arrest/fine the 4th grader who talks in class about her period? That would look bad even for the more rabid maga types. So it is just to get in the RW news as a bona fide anti-woke a$$hole?[/quote]

It is about making school staff STOP talking about it in any way, shape or form. The point is that the teacher KNOWS she could be arrested and charged for even mentioning it to students younger than 6th grade. So when that 4th or 5th grade girl starts bleeding, teacher only says "Go to the school nurse and have your parents come get you" because if she says anything about menstruation, periods, this being a natural process, etc. that the girls parents or any other parent of any child who tells their parent about what she said/what happened that say, could have her charged and arrested. She isn't willing to risk losing her job, career, going to jail, etc. because of what a young child may or may not understand and misinterpret to their parents.

The girl leaves the classroom sobbing and is terrified and has no idea what is happening to her body. Most of her classmates don't understand what's going on and they are flustered and curious and/or upset or worried, and think it must be awful and shameful or harmful, and rumors start to fly that she is dying or maybe even pregnant (because some kid will know something vague about periods having something to do with reproduction and it will get twisted and blown up into something it is not), so when she returns the next day it is a Huge and Shameful Deal and now every girl dreads that moment and fears it happening to them.

When the menstruating student arrives at the nurse's office, the nurse (also fearing arrest if she says absolutely anything, no matter how factual, about menstruation or offers a menstrual pad or explains how to use it) only says to the student "you need to call your parents to come get you" without explaining anything and the student thinks again, even more, that this must be something awful and shameful or harmful that is happening to her, because it is obviously SO BAD that only her parents can help/explain.

It's about making shame and stigma about the female body into policy and controlling who is allowed to give information about reproductive/puberty processes, so that conservatives can keep their children in ignorance if they choose to and the child will (ideally, in a conservative view) have no other source of information.
