High school says tampon dispensers in boys' bathrooms are being placed in toilets



Lakeridge High School students have apparently been removing tampon dispensers off of the wall of boys' bathrooms and deposting them in the toilet.

According to the Daily Caller, the school sent out an email about the issue and reportedly attached a photo of a dispenser in a boys' restroom toilet.

Oregon state law requires public schools to supply free tampons and sanitary pads in bathroom dispensers, including in restrooms designated for males.

\u201cBoys in the boys restroom at Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego, OR are showing the school how they feel about having feminine hygiene dispensers in their space. Honestly, what did the @ORHouseDems and the school expect? This is a complete joke and a waste of education funds,\u2026\u201d

"Each time that the dispensers are taken down, the school needs to spend time and resources putting them back up in order to be compliant with House Bill 3294 [Menstrual Dignity Act]," the email noted, according to the Daily Caller. "We are asking our student body to be respectful of school property, and to be sensitive to all of our student's needs."

The absurd requirement to furnish free menstrual products in the boy's restroom reflects the metastization of radical leftist gender ideology in society.

"This is a perfect example of throwing away tax dollars in Oregon public schools," vice president of Parents Defending Education Caroline Moore noted, according to the outlet. "This isn’t about vandalizing school property-we all know that is bad. The boys are signaling they are not girls and they want to be left alone. It is appalling that any school district is furthering the bizarre agenda from the left where they neglect science and believe men require tampons. Aren't the teachers supposed to be teaching them elementary facts, like I don't know, anatomy?”

Pilot narrowly avoids pulverization in the latest in a series of small plane crashes



On Friday at 4 p.m., a small plane came hurtling down towards University Boulevard and North Econlockhatchee Trail in Orlando. The aircraft dropped as the result of what Florida Highway Patrol reported to be a mechanical failure.

"All of a sudden it started to drop, and that's when we were like, 'Oh my God,'" said Amanda Skuban, who had been driving to Costco with her friend Raiah Collins when they caught a glimpse of the earthbound plane. "I just kind of freaked," Skuban told WESH2.

Other drivers stopped or pulled over, giving the plane — which narrowly avoided oncoming traffic and powerlines — enough space for its unplanned final descent.

Ben Stillman heard the crash from his house, just nearby. "We assumed it was a car crash ... We peeped over the fence and we just this plane sitting in the driveway."

Apart from the damage incurred by the aircraft, only some landscaping and brickwork were disturbed at the crash site. The pilot sustained only minor injuries and no one else was hurt.

This is just the most recent in a series of small plane crashes this summer, some of which resulted in tragedy.

On August 18, three people and a dog were killed when two planes (a single-engine Cessna 152 and a twin-engine Cessna 340) collided over Watsonville Municipal Airport in Santa Cruz, County, California.

Both planes had been on their final approaches to the airport when they collided approximately 200 feet in the air. One Cessna careened into an aircraft hangar off the runway and the other plane smashed into a grassy field nearby.

Although the Watsonville airport is without a traffic control tower, the pilots involved were reportedly in communication via the common traffic advisory frequency. The smaller plane reportedly did not, however, have its transponder on, which would have otherwise enabled pilots to spot the aircraft on their displays.

On the same day, a silver 1951 Cessna 195 crashed onto Interstate 8 near San Diego in El Cajon, California. The plane struck Carrie Zub's Hyundai before coming to a halt. Though Zub was not harmed in the crash, the plane's 65-year-old pilot withstood major injuries. He is expected to survive.
