Texas lifts tampon ban at bar exam after complaints over discriminatory policy

The state’s board of law examiners said in late July that test takers will be allowed to bring feminine hygiene products in clear plastic bags with them to the grueling, multiday exam that’s needed to obtain a law license.

BY SHANNON NAJMABADI AUG. 1, 2020

Tampons and pads are no longer contraband at the upcoming bar exam for aspiring lawyers in Texas.

Pausing a practice that critics called retrograde and discriminatory, the state’s board of law examiners said in late July that test takers will be allowed to bring feminine hygiene products in clear plastic bags with them to the grueling, multiday exam that’s needed to obtain a law license. It’s unclear if the policy will remain in place for a later exam, in February; the board’s executive director, Susan Henricks, said the board doesn’t know the “conditions” under which the test will take place due to the pandemic.

Test takers previously could not carry menstrual products into the exam. But Henricks said the items were provided and that the only intent was to “operate the examination fairly and securely, not to discriminate unfairly against any person or group.”

What I wonder is...what violations made such a ban necessary in the first place?  :terror:

Cheating.  I don't know how, but a cheater could figure out, how to put some 'answers' into a tampon cylinder? Would they KNOW in advance what the questions will be in the exam? PADS?  Like it really matters, on these test's anyway.  Bribes?  Manchelle & Barack received licenses.

Makes you wonder how hard it would be to stuff a 64GB thumb drive's guts into a hygiene product...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yes.
They would know. Every advanced test I have ever taken I had a general idea of what was coming up.
Which is why I would always stuff a tampon up my ass. Just as a memory boost and a comforter.
Hey man, seriously, winning is winning. Right?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

We guessed 7 of the 8 questions on our Marine Geology Final (you had to pick 5, all essay answers). It can be done. (No feminine hygiene products were used in the course of the exam--at least not by ME :silly:).

Yeah, there is that, and it seems fewer people are intimidated by the thought. Seems there'd be some aroma associated with that...
