Texas cops ‘swarm’ school, police call for ‘prayer’ over miscarriage in bathroom

23. Back in the late 60s, our PE...

...teachers kept track of our periods, with the offered explanation that they were making sure no one was over-claiming the privilege of using the private shower stalls that was permitted during that time. We'd line up in front of the office door in the locker room while the teacher would make a little "M" next to our names in her grade/attendance book. Being naive and accustomed to strong authority figures, it never occurred to me to refuse to comply, even tho I found it uncomfortable to have everyone in the gym class know what was going on with my body. Pretty creepy.

Years later, I wondered if a covert reason might have been to take note of someone who was not reporting a period at expected intervals because of pregnancy.

Until recently, I would have thought that those days were long gone. Now, I am not so sure.
