This is straight out of Handmaids Tale. A high school trying to force girls to disclose the dates and lengths of their menstrual cycle. Don’t comply? You lose a grade. There’s absolutely no reason a school needs this information other than to exert control over our bodies.

Dolly Parton logged a combined total of 115 years of union membership. Throughout her working life, the “9 to 5” singer/songwriter carried the union cards of two major unions: The American Federation of Musicians Local 257 in Nashville — for 58 years. SAG-AFTRA — for 57 years. HAPPY LABOR DAY!

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.
