Are children really using litter boxes and acting like cats in school? Texas politicians seem to think so.

    This is part of an anti-LGBT hoax. Conservatives made up the lie that children were using litterboxes. They are equivocating “identifying with a gender that you weren’t assigned at birth” with “identifying as an animal”. It’s like how conservatives said that if same sex marriage became legal, then people would start marrying their dogs.

    Some people also speculated that the hoax began because some classes have litter buckets as part of school shooting preparedness.

      Cat litter is a staple in janitorial closets and school chemistry labs for general cleanup of liquids.

      The whole thing that gay people are paedophiles came about in a similar way. It’s anything to say “gay=bad”.

        I remember as a kid my dad saying I shouldn’t get near gay men because they would molest me. WELL DAD, NOW I’M THE GAY MAN.

          Would you molest me or yourself just younger? Two points to you one point to dad because we both know the truth.

          I’m sure a lot of people who went on 4chan turned out normal too, that doesn’t make the site redeemable. Let’s not valorize the site that had a doxxing section.

            Oh I know barely anything about the place. I just got the impression it wasn’t vile the same way 4chan was. But that’s gross as hell.

    The only litter boxes in school, are for active shooter situations, when students are sheltering in place.

      or possibly as a spill kit for when a child pees themselves or vomits in the classroom to contain the mess before a custodian can get to it

    They’re SO FUCKING STUPID. The most credulous rubes on the planet.

    Yes I know the politicians mostly know what they’re doing but it seems like their supporters MUST buy into this shit. Biggest dipshits on earth.
