Florida GOP bill would ban young girls from mentioning their periods in school

State Rep. Stan McClain (R) (Florida House of Representatives)

A Florida Republican admitted that his bill would ban young girls from discussing menstruation with school officials but claimed it wasn't the "intent" of his legislation.

Republican state Rep.
