during the pandemic. That means Floridian students who get their periods between the ages of 8 and 11, or between second and fifth grades, would not receive formal education about menarche until several years after the process begins in their bodies. This delay in education starkly contrasts the advice of medical professionals: Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital, for example,that children learn about the physical and emotional changes that accompany puberty by the time they’re eight years old.
During a House Education Quality Subcommittee Wednesday, Gantt reminded the GOP that girls often start their periods earlier than sixth grade, and asked point blank if the bill would actually ban those girls from talking about their menstrual cycles. “It would,” McClain said.Gantt also asked if teachers would be penalized for discussing menstruation with students who get their periods on the earlier side.
