    Link: It Took Approximately 20 Minutes For Kids To Revolt When School Put Tampon Dispenser In Boys’ Bathroom

    It only took roughly 20 minutes for a tampon dispenser in the boy’s restroom at Brookfield High School in Connecticut to be torn down, according to a report from CT Insider.

    Principal Marc Balanda sent an email out to students and their families on Jan. 24 and explained that the new dispenser had been torn down and basically destroyed in less than 25 minutes, according to CT Insider. Balanda called the incident “disgusting” and an “egregious instance of vandalism and destruction of property” in the email with a subject line that read “I am feeling ‘dis-’ right now.”...

    He's feeling 'dis-'. That's so we know he has his finger on the pulse of his students. That's exactly how they talk; he speaks their lingo so we know he's down.

    The objective is clear: when the dispenser is reinstalled, the kids will have to take it down in less than 20 minutes. There's always room for improvement - a valuable life lesson we should encourage them to learn.

    This is a perfect example of what teachers have to deal with on a daily basis: that many will howl about the schools doing a better job of teaching kids, but they have to deal with all the poor behaviors of students who have not been taught very well at home.
    Highlighted in red: Wouldn't it be better to teach their boys to just ignore it, walk on by, not destroy school property, leave others to their own?
    That parents would support that statement in red IS the problem. Definition of a "dick move".
    Is this the advice you would give to your high school student if they came home and told you they ripped it off the wall?

    Were those tampons tax payer funded? Why would they waste money like that? Men don't bleed monthly, even if they identify as a woman. Why don't these confused people have to go out and by their OWN tampons with their OWN money?

    "poor behaviors of students who have not been taught very well at home."
    I see it as poor behavior of our school system to allow tampon dispenser in the boys' bathroom...

    "That parents would support that statement in red IS the problem. Definition of a "dick move"."
    The fact some think tampon dispenser in the boys' bathroom is not the problem are the very folks who ARE THE PROBLEM.

    Common sense has nothing to do with your statement..

    Yeah you are right, the parents should teach them to move it to the girls bathroom where it belongs. I always teach my kids to put things were they belong.

    They learned from LEFT wing MSM that its OK to cause destruction of public property. They praised BLM TERRORISTS for doing the same thing. Looks like the kids are following suit. Another double standard sandwich for the left to choke on

    From the news reports the Connecticut Legislature mandated that one men’s bathroom had to have these dispensers in each public building. It’s totally stupid to have to spend public money to enable men to carry out their fantasy that they are women.

    School=stupid
    Students=stupid
    Parents=stupid

    Yet you only support a world in which:

    Parents=smart
    Students=ignore the stupidity
    School= keep on being stupid yo!

    shouldn’t you support a world in which all three parties are smart? Why should schools be morons? Isn’t it important that they, just like parents, teach kids in not a retarded fashion?

    Please note the average Junior high high school boy is going to take hanging that thing in a boys bathroom as an insult. The dick move was putting it there in the first place.

    I don't want girls in the boys bathroom Nor do I want boys in the girls bathroom either. It isn't safe for either.

    It stops right there. Nobody is going to advocate to put litter boxes in the bathroom for kids that identify as kittens.

    The principal of the school sounds like a pervert. At least the boys didn't loot and rob the place or burn down a police station -- such actions that were called a mostly peaceful demonstration by some.

    Have you considered home schooling?

    It wasn't his call.

    I fear we are spiraling toward a John Brown moment. The truly malignant nature of the gender identity movement and the vermin behind it was crystalized for me during the Loudoun County incident that got Glenn Younkin elected.

    The mainstream media did its damnedest to sweep it under the rug: the drama at the school board meeting? Why, that was nothing more than a right wing transphobe having a maga meltdown. He was arrested and jailed because that's what we do with wingnuts. It turns out he had every right to be enraged. His 15 year old daughter had been forcibly sodomized in the girls' bathroom by a 14 year-old boy wearing a skirt; a boy who was in the girls' room because the school district decreed he was entitled to be there. Not only that, he had just been transferred to that school after raping another girl on a different campus in the same district. The district did everything it could to cover it up and demonize anyone who spoke out, and the media cheered them on every step of the way.

    That was a wake up call for many, with a few blue jurisdictions like Loudoun County, and many more red ones cracking down on the bullsh!t. Since then, it's become a fashion statement for woke school board members to swear themselves in by placing their hand on the same stack of gay kiddie porn they want to groom your kids with. Tampons in the boys' room is part of the same paradigm.

    Tampons don't belong in the boys' bathroom any more than boys belong in the girls'. Caterwauling about the boy(s) who tore down the dispenser, instead of going after the cockroaches who put it there in the first place = lending aid and comfort to the enemy. With any luck, the desecration of Principal Balanda's precious tampons can be a wake up call too.

    A psychiatrist is needed for that, not a tampon dispenser in the boys bathroom to feed into their delusions.

    I'm not sure of what your list means, but it would be wonderful if all three were smart.
    The term "inclusive" is a difficult concept for many, but look at it this way. One doesn't have to agree with everything to be inclusive. Once one gets past that, it isn't a big jump to allowing others to be who they are without judgment. Apparently someone at this school is a female who identifies as a male, and may look and act like a male. Which bathroom do they use? If everyone (maybe including teachers) thinks they are a male, then using the girl's bathroom may cause more issues than just using the boys room, where no one would think twice about it. I'll bet it's been happening for a long time. Eventually nature does play into it and a girl needs certain sanitary items. Just let people be who they are and go on about your life. Why do people find it necessary to want to control others behavior?
    What struck me was the comment by the op that they should tear it down faster next time, and seemed like they would be proud of their child to do so. One of the ones who regularly put down schools and teachers.
    It really isn't that hard of a concept............

    Yes! I think I can safely say that without being arrested.

    Maybe the boys are expressing their anger at being forced to accept this young lady as one of the boys?

    Really? How did you arrive at that conclusion?
    What young lady? If SHE exists & needs a tampon, She is categorically not "one of the boys" and never will be. That fact that you reflexively used HER correct pronoun suggests there may still be some vestige of common sense informing your worldview.

    Y'all couldn't be bothered to read the article, and now you're fabricating your own fantasies to prop up your delusion that mental illness is the new normal.

    Or maybe they've been taught that if you disagree with something it's ok to destroy it? You really are ok with that? What if I don't like fat people and you are fat. Would it be ok to ridicule you, taunt you, destroy your property because I don't agree with you.
    That's my point, we (as a people) shouldn't be thinking that way. That's one of the problems with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. How many conflicts could acceptance avoid?
    What if I didn't like Christians? I think having church signs on my street is offensive, so it's ok to destroy them, right?
