    Someone said, “What are we supposed to do…recycle the same outfit for years?” And that’s the truly the fundamental disconnect because I’m like, “Yes! You should wear stuff for years!”

    Excuse me why did my daughter get handed this at school? This is 5th grade, and I didn’t sign any paperwork allowing her to attend sex ed. Boys were also handed this.
