"An Idaho bill aimed at providing students with free feminine hygiene products in school failed on Monday after Republicans slammed the prospect as 'woke' and 'liberal.'
The one-page House Bill 313, introduced on March 13, would have required that public and public charter schools provide students with free tampons, sanitary napkins and other menstrual products.
Dissenting Republicans decried the bill as 'woke' and overly generous.
'This bill is a very liberal policy, and it's really turning Idaho into a bigger nanny state than ever,' said state Rep. Heather Scott, according to The Daily Beast. 'It's embarrassing not only because of the topic but because of the actual policy itself. So you don't have to be a woman to understand the absurdity of this policy. And you don't have to feel that you're insensitive to not address this.'
