Hey, America, what the fuck?

Tbh, kitty litter sounds like a practical idea in case of a lockdown. I was just cautioned to make sure my office trash bin doesn't have any cracks.

Here I was laughing at a silly man trying to forbid something that never happens. Now I’m sad again. How on earth is this the lived reality of so many children? Can’t do much from over here in Europe but what the heck.

I might know a select few bears that'd do more than that for free. Special discount, just for him. The woiks, I tell ya.

Anybody remember that shit stain from FL, Matt Gaetz?

Mostly just his child victims.

Based on all recorded political history and conservatives love of projection, I'm guessing he is one of the more extreme kinky types of furry himself. Nothing illegal, but really disgusting to other people.

Absolutely. Any vague language has a way of being misinterpreted by the most fanatical and used for evil.

That child is dressed like a plant! Arrest him!

You can't even meow, so no learning about the noises animals make

It started because of school shootings, ironically enough. If you’re in a lockdown for hours while the cops take their sweet time, (coughUvaldecough), there’s a near 100% chance that at least one of the children in your class is going to need to use the restroom during that time.

Luckily, camp toilets are a thing:

They’re basically a 5 gallon bucket with a snap-on toilet seat lid. You use a trash bag to line it, then sprinkle an alginate powder in, (the same powder used in diapers) and it turns into a gel when it gets wet. This helps avoid the smell and splashing, and a single small sachet of alginate powder is enough for the entire bucket.

As an added bonus, you can use the bucket to store other things that might be needed in a shooting or extended lockdown. Tourniquets, gauze, protein bars, etc… It’s all there in a single grab-and-go location. Lockdown starts, you pull the bucket out of the closet, dump all the supplies out, and set it in the corner for kids to use if they need to pee.

But this very quickly got flipped around, because conservatives didn’t want the left to start using “schools need toilets in the classrooms because school shootings are so frequent” campaigns. So they flipped it around, and said schools were providing litter boxes to furries. There’s also a heavy anti-trans lean on the litter boxes messaging, which just plays into the conservative fear mongering even more.

I had an idiot teenager working for me who insisted it was happening at his school, but couldn't tell me which classroom or teacher was allowing it.

They have an “actively seek out bullshit that props up my radical beliefs and hatreds” filter.

Unless animal control can run up to 60mph, that cheetah kid is getting away.

Do they really believe it or do they know how fucking gullible a large swath of their electorate is?

It's wiki entries like this that clearly label it as a hoax which is why Republicans think Wikipedia is woke.

First they came for the Venezuelans, trans people, furries and Harvard University. If that doesn't tell you they're just looking for scapegoats I don't know what will.

bullying is a huge problem that needs to be taken far more seriously in our school systems

I fear the reason bullying isn't taken seriously in schools is because those in positions of power frequently use bully tactics to get there. Fascists and bullies are one and the same, and on some level, corrupt school administrators know that. School bullies provide useful extensions of fascist behavior, applied by peers to encourage conformity in environments where adults are absent. Why would fascists in charge ever want to stop that?

The great part of tackling problems that aren't real is that nobody can see you haven't solved anything.
