So the law does not require menstrual products to be stocked in boys' bathrooms?
By the way, I noticed your post is a bit light on sources. When you come on here and post something as fact, you're supposed to provide sources. How many times do you need to be reminded of this?
Tucked into a stack of budget bills Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota signed into law last May was a measure that went largely unnoticed: Public schools would be required to provide free menstrual products to all students who needed them, beginning in the fourth grade.
The law, which took effect Jan. 1, requires schools to provide access to menstrual products such as pads, tampons or other similar period products, "in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district."
As adopted, the law does not distinguish by sex or gender. It says the products "must be available to all menstruating students."
This means transgender boys and nonbinary students — who might menstruate and are permitted to use boys’ restrooms — must also have access to the menstrual products.
Where's the proof that any school district, let alone all of them, have chosen to stock menstrual products beyond girls' and unisex bathrooms?

Nothing in the law requires them to be stocked in boys' restrooms..
Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota signed into law last May was a measure that went largely unnoticed: Public schools would be required to provide free menstrual products to all students who needed them, beginning in the fourth grade.
The measure was spearheaded by teenagers like Elif Ozturk, who had listened to classmates in the restroom fret over not having a tampon, and Maarit Mattson, who began carrying extra pads in middle school, as a gesture of support for friends uncomfortable confiding in their parents about the start of their periods.
“It isn’t part of a political agenda,” Ms. Mattson, 15, said
But with each of Minnesota’s more than 300 school districts responsible for drafting a plan for meeting the requirements of the law, schools have not interpreted it as a mandate to specifically place tampons and pads in restrooms designated only for boys.
In calls and emails to district officials across the state this week, none of the half dozen who responded said that their schools had placed menstrual products in boys’ restrooms.

From your own source. Why do you have to turn this website into a house of lies?

Yet not true. If they provide them in any area that a student can access them, including the nurses office.
So now that the facts clearly state they are not required in the boys bathroom, you chase another ghost argument? 🤣
Some districts, such as Minneapolis Public Schools, require schools to provide improved bathroom access for transgender and nonbinary students, including more accessible all-gender bathrooms, MinnPost, a local news organization, reported.
In an Aug. 8 editorial, the Star Tribune reported that a spokesperson for Anoka-Hennepin schools, the state’s largest school district, said free menstrual products aren’t found in male-only bathrooms, but they are provided in nongendered bathrooms, girls’ bathrooms or from health staff.

A more sensible thing to do would be to wait until Swifties For Trump actually announces its existence as a PAC.

Except the law doesn't say "all students." Just lies on top of lies.
