            This was because she had attempted to drill for the hidden headphone jack, and thought it would not turn back on because the battery was dead.

    How fucked up in the head do you need to be to make shit like that up? It’s not even just an adult, which would be stupid enough, no, it’s an education official.

    While I do appreciate having dedicated masturbation stations at work, I dont think elementary schools need them for the students

    But I do think we should advance this discussion as a workplace perk

        I used to work in a boogie tech office that converted a conference room to a nap and mediation room. It has artificial grass and lots of pillows.

        While I do think it was a nice perk, I personally get more of a productivity boost from a quickie than a power nap. But everyone’s different.

        Fortunately I work from home, so I don’t need a masturbation station at some shared office. But I do think it could be nice, though I can’t see how to make it sanitary.

          It would have to be some kind of single-stall facility where you can flush the entire room when you leave… like a decontamination chamber or something.

            Yeah I mean cover everything in stainless steel and tile, but now it feels like a ghetto WC in the underground or a prison. Not so nice & comfy.

            Workers deserves comfortable masterbation stations for their all their hard labor.

      Nah, it’s just American politics imported. Estonian far right party tried it with gay people but it got them ridiculed instead because same sex marriage wasn’t even legan then but they made it into a hot enough of an issue that after losing our government signed a law that does legalise it starting next year.

      I’m guessing Estonia will get the “save the children” narrative for our next national election, I’m hoping that will end up making stuff better for trans people instead.

    The remarks were made by Barbara Nowak, the education superintendent for Małopolska, a province of 3.4 million people in southern Poland centred around the city of Kraków. The national government appoints one such official in each of Poland’s 16 provinces, where they are tasked with overseeing schools.

    Nowak, a controversial and outspoken figure, was asked in an interview with news website Wirtualna Polska about claims commonly made by her and other Polish conservatives that the World Health Organisation (WHO) is seeking to “sexualise” children.

    “The WHO outlines the aims to quickly interest young people in their bodies and in the pleasure of artificially aroused sexuality,” she answered. “These groups claim that the easiest way to relieve a small child’s emotions is through masturbation.”

    “In Swedish preschools there are special rooms where the teacher goes with a child and masturbates them,” Nowak continued. “They then know that they can also masturbate on their own.”

        Correct.

        It shouldn’t also surprise you that she was appointed by another homophobe and reactionary - education minister Czarnek.

        Me personally, I won’t miss him, her or that party in the next government.

    To put the “official” in context, that woman is Barbara Nowak, the education curator for the Lesser Poland voivodeship - that is, the official directly responsible for the education system in entire region, and this particular region is one of the most densely inhabited.
