Reply to comment by ReformedDeviant in Palmerton school director stands proud "NO LITTER BOXES IN OUR SCHOOL BATHROOMS" with sign on Delaware avenue. by mynameisalso

It was one teacher in Colorado years ago that did in case of an active shooter. So it happened but not in the way right wing media portrays it.

I think I’m going to need to see a source on that.

I don't know about that specific case but kitty litter is in every school in the country because it's useful for bodily fluid spills. Dump the litter on the offending fluid, sweep it up.

Pretty sure that guy wasn’t talking about AbsorbAll.

It doesn't matter, they will refer to buckets of absorball as kitty litter if it suits their narrative. Reality doesn't matter, the narrative does.

Thanks. Kitty litter on hand, but not out in a litter box for kids to pee in. And of course the GOP neglects to mention the other items with it. A-holes.

There are multiple things weird about this. While the furry controversy is a descendant of the 2000s "next they'll want to marry animals" trope, the idea of ripping on furries in particular as an anti-trans dogwhistle is from, of all places, 4chan and Something Awful. It's cross-pollination from /pol/ and gamergate lol
