Kitty Litter in Schools?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I refused to believe it the first time I was told this, but have been told by three different people, that I generally trust, that schools are putting kitty litter in their restrooms due to students identifying as cats.

What I was told is that 2 schools in Central Iowa have already done this and one more is being threatened with a lawsuit from the parents to do it. Was told that one of the schools at least claimed it was unsanitary for staff to clean so were requiring the parents to come into school and clean the litter box that has been set up for their children.

(Mods - if this needs to be moved to another forum, go for it)
What school district(s)?
 
You believe everything everyone tells you?

This isn't happening, but I see what your trying to do and the sad thing is that it will probably work.

Dude/Dudette,
I am not trying to do anything. Just sharing information. Simple as that. I didn't really believe the first time I heard it, but when other people from other schools say the same thing is happening I considered sharing it here. And, if you believe what others have posted, it is happening in more schools that what I heard.

However, if you want to bury your head in the sand - go ahead.
 
* Searching online shows nothing but rumors and third-hand stories about this, along the lines of Ferris Bueller passing out at 31 Flavors. I hear it’s pretty serious.

* I don’t doubt there are kids somewhere cosplaying as “furries” and claiming to identify as animals. Believing schools would actually accommodate them with kitty litter is the extreme definition of gullible.

* This sounds exactly like a bad-faith story someone might float to make other issues about personal identity seem more silly - like the ever-popular “I identify as an attack helicopter hur dur.”

* What does appear accurate is that some schools in Colorado actually do have buckets & kitty litter in the rooms - so that students can still go to the bathroom in the event the building is locked down for a school shooter. Maybe that’s where people are getting confused?
 
Schools have kept cat litter on hand for a long time for things like vomit

And no, this otherwise seems like it has been a meme spread by transphobic people, if you do something as simple as Google "cat litter school" you see a bunch of results showing that

How about a link that is not from an insane right wing slanted site or a story that has any facts or evidence and not just heresay as its basis?

I'll take any evidence.

This is a fake story going around and the same suckers that fall for all this kind of crap are falling for it again.
 
This is an amazing level of stupidity on multiple levels. These schools are so scared of lawsuits. There should be a “common sense” law in place to prevent ******** like this.

Lawsuits and lower enrollment, staff cuts etc.

I agree but it's a slippery slope and it's not new.

Well, the kitty litter thing is new if it's actually a thing.

Parents making a mess out of everything possible isn't.

If that is all that this is, then I apologize. However, that was not the tenor of the conversations that I was in and that potential aspect wasn't brought up.

I mean, it's you openly spreading transphobic garbage without even doing something as simple as googling it. Seems you're the one with your head in the sand here.

I'm almost positive some of the baseball infields I played on were kitty litter.

Then you and the people you talk to need to take a serious look at the sources of information you use, because they're feeding you garbage.

I told you exactly what I heard from three people in my community. The only repercussions that were discussed further was that someone should teach the parents involved how to set limits for their kids.

As I said in my last post - if we all fell for some conspiracy - I apologize. But the different people I heard from aren't into that kind of discussion.

And, if it is a toll job, then you can help me educate others.

Do you not think that school districts either have lawyers or lawyers on contract for anything they need them for? It's budgeted and while I'm sure they don't want to have to deal with frivolous lawsuits, it's their job and they are prepared for it. Also, if you file a frivolous suit and lose you usually have to pay the other sides legal fees.

You guys all have some serious growing up to do.

This is exactly it. The same thing happened when get marriage was getting legalized. “Guy marries his cat, chair, etc.”
