Tampons can be fun!

[giza]

theweaselking brings us this story, in which some anal retentive school administrators decided that students should no longer have backpacks in school due to "security concerns".

The sole exception? If you are a girl, and it is that time of the month, you may carry your tampons in a purse. Of course, this now tells everyone in the school that you are having your period. And what's worse -- guards have been stopping students with purses and actually asking them, "Do you have your period?"

Understandably, students are horrified and the parents are furious. In fact, the students have been protesting using the following techniques:

- Girls have been wearing tampons on their clothes, and made purses out of tampon boxes

- Boys are wearing maxi-pads stuck to their shirts

- "protest necklaces" - Tampon boxes on a piece of yarn

- A boy wearing nothing but a paper bag on his head streaked through the school as students were arriving for the day


Mad bonus points go to the parents, who are calling out the school district on their draconian tactics.
