ABILENE, Texas — Students at Clack Middle School were allegedly told by a staff member that they would begin tracking menstrual cycles for female students.
KTXS reached out to Abilene ISD about the situation and they gave the following statement.
Abilene ISD is aware of allegations regarding an inappropriate comment made by a staff member at Clack Middle School. The district is actively investigating these allegations, and the staff member has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. We take every allegation of employee misconduct seriously. Our teachers and staff are expected to follow the highest standards of professional and personal conduct to protect the best interests of our students and schools.
I really wish this article had more information, but the way it’s written is very vague and potentially rage-baiting. The only fact stated about the incident is:
Students at Clack Middle School were allegedly told by a staff member that they would begin tracking menstrual cycles for female students.
The word “they” in that sentence is unacceptably vague for a news article. Who is “they”? Is it the school and/or staff members? Because that’s justifiably bullshit and rage worthy.
Or does “they” mean the individual student? If a health teacher is teaching students how to use a period tracker, then that’s an entirely different story.
All in all, this is pretty lazy reporting that makes me think of how Fox News and its imitators get away with riling people up by completely misinterpreting a situation. With that being said, maybe this is a genuine case of a school doing something abhorrent. In which case, the journalist needs to do a better job providing the details rather than just one vague statement.
Why the fuck do they keep trying to do this??
So they know when to rape so that conception happens.
Have you met an incel?
“This is a violation of their first amendment rights,” one parent said.
Pretty sure it’s the 4th amendment…
It could be the first as well, given the religious motivations of the law.
Been to Abilene—had a bad time. Wouldn’t recommend it. Story seems pretty par for the course.
My grandparents used to live there, because quote, “Lubbock is too big of a city”. Abilene was misery to visit.
Holy shit. Most people I know who have lived in Lubbock left because “it’s too small of a city and everyone knows your business.”
Same experience, plus there’s a woman there who doesn’t like me.
I’d still chalk that up as a “pro” in the column for “life achievements.”
If you’d said that there’s a woman in Abilene who trusted you implicitly, I’d question our currently questionable friendship
Under his eye
I’m wondering if this is about a teacher saying that conservatives are proposing laws to track women’s menstrual cycles (https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-desantis-florida-sports-female-athletes-160560972802) or if it’s a teacher or staff member saying they SHOULD do it.
Yeeeze what the hell. Fucking pedos.
There’s a small chance they not be pedos, it’s Texas, it’s hard to tell if they’re just normal legit pedophiles , or just extremely misogynist.
And yes, they could be both.
They are probably both…
I put it at 75% just misogynist, 20% misogynist and pedo, and 5% neither, just weird.

International student dealers?
How very “Handmaid’s Tale” of them. Next it’ll be uniforms, the lessons and activities allowed for girls are whittled down, separate lessons with some more indoctrination… It’s clear that’s what the government is aiming for and people voted for it.
I’m fairly certain their end goal is uneducated women like the Taliban. Easier to control that way.
You just described the UK
Gotta ask have you been in school in the past 20 years?
I’m not sure if any state school has lessons divided by gender aside from P.E. and possibly some Sex Ed lessons…
Gender division in schooling was certainly a thing in the 70’s and probably the 80’s.
I’m thinking of P.E. and uniform. Although some state schools are entirely divided based on gender.
in the ’70s* and probably the ’80s*
Home of the free. And all that.
