The Democrats’ candidate for vice president forced public and charter schools to stock tampons in boys bathrooms. In 2023, Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz signed into law an education finance bill which forced schools to provide free menstrual products for girls and girls who identify as boys and use the boys bathroom.
The legislation stated that “products must be available to all menstruating students” in 4 through 12 grades and that every district stock pads and tampons in bathrooms “regularly used” by male and female. The law went into effect in January 2024.
This is part of Walz’s far-left trans plan for the state. He made Minnesota a “trans refuge” state for minors, meaning that if a minor child came to Minnesota to embark on a medical sex change against their parents’ wishes, Walz would not have that child returned to a state where they would be prevented from gaining access to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or surgeries.
The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Sandra Feist, (DFL-New Brighton), is one of five authors of an op-ed titled “Menstruators deserve equity at school” which urged legislators to reject Republican amendments that would change the bill to require menstrual products for female students only. Feist claimed at the time of the debate, “Not all students who menstruate are female. We need to make sure all students have access to these products.”
She added that biological males “face a greater stigma and barrier to asking for these products,” according to Alpha News. The bill was projected to increase spending for K-12 education by 10.2 percent over two years, with some of the increase, about $2 per student, going toward supplying the free menstrual products for male and female students.
On Tuesday, Waltz was selected to be the running mate in the 2024 presidential election for Vice President Kamala Harris.
