Trump Slams California School District’s Woke Bathroom Agenda

President Donald Trump has unleashed a blistering attack on a California school district after it notified parents that period products will be available in bathrooms for “any student who menstruates”—a move conservatives see as the latest salvo in the left’s gender-bending war on reality. On Wednesday, the San Ramon Valley Unified School District sent an email proudly touting its compliance with a 2021 state law requiring free menstrual products in at least two restrooms per school, extending access to boys’ and gender-neutral facilities. For Republicans, this is another example of California’s radical agenda trampling common sense—and Trump’s not letting it slide.
The district’s email laid out its policy with smug clarity.
“As part of this legislation, SRVUSD will be providing free menstrual products in female restrooms, male restrooms, and all gender restrooms at every school site,” it stated.
It went on, “SRVUSD will provide free period products in at least two restrooms at every school site and any student who menstruates will have access to free period products.” The move stems from Assembly Bill 367, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, mandating such provisions in grades 6-12, community colleges, and California State University systems by the 2022-23 school year.
Trump didn’t mince words when he caught wind of this during a press event.
“They’re putting tampons in boys’ bathrooms in California schools—can you believe this insanity?” he roared. “This is what happens when you let the radical left run wild—biological facts get thrown out the window, and taxpayers foot the bill for their delusions.”
He vowed to gut federal funding to states pushing what he calls “transgender nonsense,” tying it to his February 5 executive order banning biological males from women’s sports—a policy California’s defied, prompting a Title IX probe from the U.S. Department of Education.
The California law’s roots trace back to woke activism, with Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia crowing in 2021 about ending “period poverty.” But conservatives argue it’s less about access and more about forcing a fringe ideology on kids. San Ramon’s email even boasted about exceeding requirements, ensuring “any student who menstruates” gets freebies—code, Republicans say, for pretending boys can have periods too. The district doubled down when Fox News Digital pressed them, confirming compliance was in full swing.
This isn’t new for California. Newsom’s been shoving gender ideology down throats for years, from mandating “all gender” restrooms to shielding trans procedures for minors. Trump’s team sees a pattern—Biden’s administration cheered this lunacy, but now the GOP’s in charge, and they’re fighting back. Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor warned California’s school leagues to shape up or lose fed dollars, a threat Trump’s itching to extend statewide.
Republicans are livid. San Ramon’s move isn’t just wasteful—it’s a slap in the face to parents who want schools focused on reading, writing, and math, not pandering to progressive fantasies. Trump’s response is a rallying cry: no more coddling states that ditch science for feelings. With the White House and Congress in GOP hands, conservatives are poised to dismantle this madness, cut the funding, and bring sanity back to classrooms. California can keep its tampons in boys’ stalls—for now—but Trump’s making sure it won’t last.
