I knew a manager at a mid sized company, who was convinced that kitty litter was kept in class rooms to accommodate children who self identified as cats.
This otherwise rational manager was certain that kids were shitting in a box in the corner of classrooms. And teachers and admin just let them.
Kitty litter is kept in class rooms in case someone throws up to soak up the smell and fluid. It’s absorbent and smell reducing.
my sister was like this too, when I had her look up where this story came from, when she read the origins of this, she blamed the liberal media for hiding the "truth"
You already see this—level of education, even higher education, does not automatically grant the ability of critical thinking. For the most part, education in US focuses on memorization, not building the framework of critical thought.
This particular nugget (no pun intended) has spread across the world. My dad is pretty leftwing, and we live in the UK. I was shocked to hear him state this as an 'isn't the world getting crazy' fact at the start of this year.
Blew me away how far this disinfo has spread. I genuinely fear for the future if we can't get a handle on disinfo, especially now AI use is becoming commonplace.
Joke aside, it horrified me that even my sweet old dad had been infected with this bullshit. Thank fuck we don't quite have Fox News here. It's called GB News, and so far a billionaire is keeping it afloat because it's not popular enough to be profitable.
To be fair, my daughter attends a forest preschool and apparently is most comfortable doing her business in the woods. She does not, as far as I’ve been made aware, identify as a bear. I’ve not yet offered a litter box, but my guess is she would prefer a tree. Maybe we should just take kids outside more, and nobody would care. Also, the whole litter box thing sounds like complete hogwash that never occurred.
It was a joke by Gen a(I think) to prove how stupid adults were. Just like tide pods from gen z. Nobody did that shit unless they fell for the social media psy op and did it to fit in.
I had to correct a site manager running a $1 billion dollar job that this was fake, and all he could tell me was, “look it up”. I kept telling him that I had, and that it was fake. He had no intention of even trying to see if he was wrong.
I taught 5th grade and never had kitty litter in my classroom. None of my colleagues had kitty litter in their classroom. I work at a different school now and no classroom has kitty litter.
It's also in the event of a school shooting to soak up the blood. It's included with a bucket to use the bathroom and blankets to cover bodies if they lock down a classroom. Pretty fucked up.
People truly believe it.
I’ve had two clients tell me this is true. My response is ArE yOu SeRiOuS?! And they both happen to have an uncle that taught school upstate and had one in his classroom. WHAT A COINCIDENCE.
