This bill will go nowhere, who cares?
The man who wrote it said that would include period discussion. A fix to the bill might be proposed, but you'd be surprised by how weird old conservative men often are about menstruation.
Does it actually ban girls about talking about menstruation, or does it ban classroom teaching on it? Because one of those is much worse than the other.
Why are either of these acceptable? Menstruation is a normal bodily function. Do you really want to ban a teacher from explaining this stuff to kids, especially since sometimes kids will be experiencing for the first time in the classroom?
Back in 1961 when I was eleven and in 5th grade I started my period. I knew nothing about what was happening to me. I thought I was dying. Finally my mother told me what it was and what to do. It was the next year when I was in 6th grade that our class had sex education. I was clueless. Kids today aren't clueless. Trying to suppress talking about something that happens to every female is just plain ignorant. And it makes my blood boil.
