such a weird thing to be mad about
"They forced 4th graders to be in a room with LIGHTBULBS..... those kids arent electricians!! What are they gonna do with all those lightbulbs in the ceilings?? Disgusting!"
I assume her point here is to stoke transphobia for clout. There are lots of phobic/ignorant parents who think queer is contagious or a conscious decision people make. They fear that exposure to queerness will make their kids queer. She’s further farming for outrage by making the restroom the boys’ room and the age (4th grade) one that is typically pre-pubescent.
The takeaway here is this is cynical propaganda that plays on the fears of the ignorant, for no purpose other than grabbing eyeballs.
Exposure makes kids aware that it's okay to be different, to be who they feel like they are, and to explore who they may be.
Bigots don't like this.
I’d be more worried about my child saying “totally norms” than I would them being within arms reach of a tampon.
When we were kids my brother spontaneously got a bleeding nose in the car and all my mother had on hand was a tampon.
She screwed him up real good
