IMO, providing it to public schools is a baby step towards a nanny government where people expect all their basic needs to be handed to them without any effort on their part.

This is why the Harris/Walz ticket scares me. It’s a small baby step towards bigger and bigger bloated government.

What is wrong with you? THIS is an issue for you? Removing sexist barriers the affect poor girls and young women? Because you’re afraid of . . . What exactly? Shame on you.

It’s the same kind of person as found on the DCUM school forums complaining about the existence of free breakfast/lunch because their own kid will occasionally eat the school lunch (which those posters call “garbage”) instead of their packed lunch. No empathy at all for kids who may have those free breakfasts/lunches as their only reliable meals.

It's the lack of empathy across the board that's so disturbing. And often from so-called Christians.

yep. Jesus would have fed everyone without shaming someone for not taking "personal responsibility"

+1 I don't get the nastiness and lack of generosity I hear from people who call themselves Christians.

New favorite:

Tim Walz is the guy who mows your lawn when you break your leg. JD Vance is the one who reports your overgrown lawn to the HOA.

I absolutely love Gov Tim Walz.

This is all.

I've never been more excited to vote for a ticket in my life.

My point flew right over your head; you are so triggered by anyone who doesn’t think in lockstep with you.

Multiple people here have had the same reaction, so maybe you need to articulate it better. Why does providing supplies to kids in school bother you? Are you also mad about free breakfast/lunch at school? I know that’s also an issue for some on the right. What sort of work do you think poor kids should be doing to have their basic needs met in order to focus on school?

I have no problem with feeding the hungry and providing basic necessities, never intended to say that.

I do have a problem with encouraging people to not take personal responsibility— again I am not talking about period products themselves, but where this will lead.

Thank you for not flying off the handle, lol.

Where do you think it can lead specifically, and why this decision more than other things provided, such as books, school lunches, or public schools themselves...? Fwiw many states, red ones as well, have period products in bathrooms. They are a necessity. Legislation leading to those decisions are often bipartisan.

This is where I’m getting stuck: what sort of personal responsibility do you want kids to take in order for their basic needs to be met?

Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, a decorated Navy combat pilot who was on Vice President Kamala Harris’s short list of potential running mates, defended the military record of the man who beat him out for that spot: Gov. Tim Walz. In a social media post on Wednesday night, Kelly wrote that the attacks suggesting that Walz had overstated his military record and quit the military before deploying to Iraq – leveled by Senator JD Vance, a combat veteran and the Republican vice-presidential nominee – had crossed a line.

Hey @JDVance, did you forget what the USMC taught you about respect? Tim Walz spent DECADES in uniform.

You both deserve to be thanked for your service. Don’t become Donald Trump. He calls veterans suckers and losers and that is beneath those of us who have actually served.

Ridiculous over reaction here. So predictable.

DP.

No one is “overreacting” to how much Republicans hate and want to punish women for existing. An eleven year old should deliver her rapists baby but for darn sure better not have access to free sanitary supplies

Also, I am in Maryland which is probably a slam dunk for the Dems but if there is a way for me to help other states from afar, that would be great. In addition to donating $ of course.

Some volunteering suggestions in this thread https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1220272.page Also check out votesaveamerica.com or swingleft.org for more. Thank you!

What the hell is wrong with you? There are poor girls in HS whose family cannot consistently afford period products. Or has abusive or addicted parents who do not provide them with the basics of life.

They end up missing school BECAUSE of their period - it's actually one of the main causes of truancy for teen girls. Giving them cheap pads so they remain in class absolutely benefits society in the long-run. It's not the teen girl's fault she has poor parents, or parents who make terrible financial decisions.

Wow way to miss the point!!

We all get the point. MAGA afraid of transgenderism.
