    Did Florida HS Athletics Association Recommend Requiring Student Athletes To Submit Menstrual Info? (msn.com)

    Here are the facts: A panel of the FHSAA has submitted this recommendation to the FHSAA Board of Directors, which will meet on Feb 26-27, 2023, in Gainesville, Florida, to render a decision. Until then, submitting menstrual information is not yet a state requirement.
    The committee voted to adopt a national registration form that makes answering questions on menstruation mandatory for student athletes, but diverges from the guidance of that particular form by requiring all answers (medical and reproductive history) to be submitted to school officials — not just the page with doctors' signature clearance.
    The ongoing controversy began in the fall of 2022. Florida student athletes, in general, are required to answer dozens of questions on a form before their doctors clear them for practice or play. These questions have to do with physical fitness, and aim to prevent injuries.
    For around 20 years, Florida's female student athletes have been asked to answer a number of additional questions that pertain to their menstrual periods. However, this section of the form has been optional, something that may change if, or when, the FHSAA sports medicine panel's recommendation receives full board approval.

    The current version of the form states "FEMALES ONLY (optional)" and asks the following:
    When was your first menstrual period?
    When was your most recent menstrual period?
    How much time do you usually have from the start of one period to the start of another?
    How many periods have you had in the last year?
    What was the longest time between periods in the last year?
    In Florida, these written forms with students' medical information are submitted to school officials, contrary to a number of other states where only a doctor's signature is required to clear an athlete for play. While period information is important for doctors to know as it affects an athlete's physical health, some parents and medical professionals raised red flags with the questioning, when, according to an October 2022 Palm Beach Post investigation, a number of school districts shifted the forms to a digital platform.
    Havent we talked about this issue before? It seems familiar, but it’s fine if JP cycles it through “the GOP‘s greatest hits” even though it’s not a GOP lead issue.

    Have we learned that taking home classified documents, and, well, taking them to all of your homes, it’s really not that big of a deal after all? Have we learned that lesson and can we move on now? It’s great when we can get educated and change our minds due to that education. Why just last fall, prior to the November elections, we thought it was a very big deal.

    I think what we've learned is that taking these documents home is situationally bad, depending upon who does it. Now, we get to enjoy watching folks attempt to explain the difference at every interaction in which they can't simply ignore it.

    Obviously it’s bad news for anyone to take home classified documents and staff needs to be trained better. The difference between Biden and trump is that Biden disclosed himself and allowed his homes to be searched. That’s the opposite of what trump did.

    He tried to quietly return documents found by the lawyers he hired to “clean out his office” to the National Archive. Only when their IG began looking into the matter did he decide to impress us with his “transparency”.

    Not like trump who refused to return documents and said some of them were his to keep (or sell.).

    So it really comes down to whether you consider arrogance and intransigence to be worse than incompetence and hypocrisy. Personally, I wouldn’t trust either of those gentlemen with my PIN.

    So, in your mind the difference is that Trump felt he was entitled to keep the documents and Biden couldn't say that after making such a big deal about Trump, yet probably felt the same since he distributed them to every location he may be at any given time, which would lead a reasonable person to believe he thought of them as his to keep (or allow his son to use the info for family profit). Is that about right?

    In the world of us plebes I could see the judicial system making an example of someone to discourage more of the same, and to make a lasting impression on would-be-ers. I am correctly assuming that a law was broken?

    I don’t think it’s been established that a law is broken.

    But yes, it would seem that somebody needs to be made an example of to curb this. The problem is it’s not gonna be either one of the presidents current or ex, it will be someone down the chain of responsibility to serve as the example.

    and of course, now I wonder what documents the Obamas have.
