My mother in law is constantly posting about how the Biden administration put litter boxes in every school bathroom and they haven't been removed.

Of course, her own grandchildren telling her they've never seen one in any of the 6 schools they've been to is just woke bullshit the teachers are instructing them to lie to their parents about.

The mental gymnastics required to believe these things is astounding, and would almost be impressive if it weren't harming people.

Wow that is absurd. Here's a question for her... Why hasn't God King Trump removed them?

That litterbox story was a test. Humanity failed it by having more than like 100 wackos believe it for even a second. I find it hard to believe any moron could believe it. But I've met them myself so I know it's a thing.

Oh I've brought that up before and it's just been dismissed with a "he's trying but the schools aren't cooperating"

Never mind the fact that the thugs they hire for law enforcement would have no qualms with kicking down a school door and putting guns in faces to do whatever they want (as long as there isn't a scary white man with a gun inside that might shoot at them) and would love the opportunity to "own the libs" by removing these thousands and thousands of litter boxes.

Like I said, the mental gymnastics are astonishing. She believes a single being created the universe, so this probably isn't that big a stretch for her.

The funny thing here to me is that despite being an atheist/agnostic I actually find the existence of God much more believable than the litter box story. At least there's a conceivable cause and effect there. I really struggle to relate to people who think motivations aren't key to behavior. Sure if there was something to gain from putting litter boxes in bathrooms, I could see some people believing it. But there's literally no explanation for it. It's just a vague "they're crazy" handwave happening there.

Thing is, the litterbox story has a grain of truth buried in there. I believe some schools did put litterboxes in classrooms... In case of extended sheltering in place during a school shooting.

Not OC, but as far as I read it's been reported for one school district in Colorado.

Among other school supplies, teachers in one Colorado public school district were recently given buckets and kitty litter so students are able to use the bathroom in the event of a lockdown, the district confirmed to TIME.

Some teachers were given the “go buckets” at a back-to-school training within the Jefferson County Public School District. This is the same district where the Columbine High School mass shooting left 12 student and one teacher dead in 1999.

“Our emergency procedures include a Lockdown protocol if there is a threat inside the building. Lockdowns require each classroom to be cleared by school security or law enforcement after the threat has been mitigated and can be a long process. The go buckets include items to support students and staff if needed – including bodily functions,” Diana Wilson, a spokesperson for the Jefferson County School District tells TIME.

In April, Jefferson County schools were on lockout all day after a woman reportedly had an obsession with the Columbine shooting and posed a “credible threat” to the Denver area. She was later found dead in an apparent suicide.

For the coming school year, some teachers within the district were also given first aid items, as well as a Sharpie marker so they can write down the time they put a tourniquet on a bleeding student.

John McDonald, the head of security for Jefferson County Public Schools, said that the buckets are not required but they are strongly encouraged, according to Chalkbeat.

“We want to give our kids dignity in the middle of this type of crisis,” McDonald said. “We really start with a belief that training creates a fundamental climate and culture of school safety, and you can be emergency prepared without being emergency scared.”

According to McDonald, the idea came about a few years ago when one of the schools in the district, Alameda International Junior/Senior High School, was locked down for hours after it was reported that there was a gun in the school. Students had to use trash cans and closets for bathroom purposes.

He also says this isn’t the first year that the teachers have been provided with buckets, and that around half of the schools in the district currently have them.

So it was one school district and just litter, not the boxes.
