The FL OP is so fucked up. How nice that this POS is "amenable" to amendments. WTF.
The GOP lawmaker representing Ocala, Fla., later clarified that it would not be the intent of the bill to punish girls if they came to teachers with questions or concerns about their menstrual cycle, adding that hed be amenable to amendments if they were to come up. The bill ended up passing, 13-5, on Wednesday in a party-line vote, as GOP legislators make up a supermajority in the chamber.
McClain did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Friday. Gantt decried the bill to The Washington Post as egregious.
