it’s a mixture of https://redsails.org/false-witnesses/ and the real fact that schools in the u.s have buckets of litter in classrooms for student use during school shooter lockdowns
it’s not wokeness that has litter in classrooms, it’s mass shootings
Also every maintenance person and mechanic has kitty litter in a closet somewhere because it's great for cleaning up oil spills
Many people believe it, including several people I know. They say it's to cater to kids who think they're cats because they have slippery slope brain and think accepting trans people means we're also starting to consider otherkin types as normal. It's like the old homophobic schtick about how allowing gay marriage will lead to people marrying their dogs.
As someone else pointed out, the only grain of truth is that classrooms are keeping kitty litter on hand, but it's for if kids get confined to a classroom for an extended period of time due to a mass shooting.
It was a big rumor in the summer of 22 iirc. It died down a bit once kids started going back to school but it was a mainstream conservative talking point for several months
One of my friends got hit with this from his sister at his last family Thanksgiving dinner. People buy it up with all the rest.
