How an urban myth about litter boxes in schools became a GOP talking point

So me explaining that a teacher told me about the school's policy on the matter is me claiming that I'm an expert on the matter while also making my info on the subject something to make a joke of like I don't know what I'm talking about?

I think it's a bit interesting a teacher would admit to you that part of their job is kowtowing to teenagers who act like cats.  Did any students act like cats when you were talking to them?  Did they walk on all fours or lick themselves?

Did you ask to see the litterbox?  Did you use any restrooms while there?  Do the janitors shovel up the litter boxes?  I wonder if there is a door or curtain shieling the litter box from view or if cat people, like real cats, just use the litterbox in the open with no shame.

I help out with some high school stuff here and there and I've never seen any of this stuff, so the idea that other people are privy to this bizarrely interesting and weird nonsense is a bit intriguing.  Have you alerted any news sources that you've been tipped off that the school has sources that are clearly willing to tell outsiders that they have to cater to cat students?  If there is evidence there, that'd be interesting to see because things seem a bit too speculative at the moment.

I’m on my way to the doctor’s so I can’t respond to this fully but, for starters, why would I alert any news outlets about this situation?

Even if I did think it was newsworthy, why would I do something to bring negative attention to the school? Wouldn’t that impact their willingness to have me continue to present there?

Wouldn’t that impact other schools’ willingness to have me in?

Next, why would I alert the news when this is happening all over?

You’re also asking me all these questions when I stated that I’m not an expert in the matter, so you’re obviously just trying to get yourself out of this corner that you’ve painted yourself into.

I'm just asking questions and I don't see how I'm in any corner.  I'm wondering if you want to be a conservative who is known to have connections with a school where kids are allowed to act like cats and crap in litter boxes.  Personally, I'd steer clear of that and I'm a liberal nutbar.

Given your views I'd expect you to feel like it is your duty to alert someone about this situation as I assume you feel these policies are detrimental minors.

Again, I'm just asking.  I feel like you constantly want to "be under attack."  I've never had the chance to speak to someone who has inside info on this stuff so I'm interested in the details and the process.  I also don't see why you'd want to continue to present at a school that condones or promotes this stuff, as that seems like it would have more of a negative impact on whatever you do than blowing the proverbial whistle.

Or is your stance that "everyone knows this is happening, so why cause a ruckus?" And there are multiple public schools near me, how would you suggest I find out if any of them have this same policy, if I were to want to look into it myself?

I like how the far fetched part is the litter box and not some zoomers just out there running for one of their nine lives from an imaginary Alf.

Actually, the litter box being completely mundane and easily proven is the point.  I've heard some tales in my day that I can't refute, but this one seems easy enough.  Yes or no, are there litterboxes in public schools....or private ones too maybe?

Over the years I've been told that a pagan ritual made it snow indoors.  I wasn't there, I can't say it didn't happen.

20 or so years ago in college a guy told me he had photographic evidence a ghost came out of his TV (this was even before the RING) and when I asked if I could see it he said it was in his parent's attic and he'd try to find it the next time he was home.  He never showed it to me, so the jury will be out on that one forever, I guess.

This isn't me asking for Jesus to come down and turn my water into wine or to turn me into Hugh Jackman for my wife (with my luck he'd probably turn me into Hue Jackson).  This isn't me asking for someone to make it snow indoors, or to walk on water, or to teach me how to play sweet hot lead guitar licks instantly.  I'm asking for some info on a very mundane thing that I find pretty damn interesting.  What's so nuts about that?

We have cats.  There are litterboxes here.  If you ask for a picture of me with a litterbox I can send it to you in 2 minutes (you weirdo).  I'm intrigued by this, it's so insane yet so mundane at the same time.  Keep in mind the oddest thing to me is that I went to a school in PA where wearing anything but Steelers stuff would get you bullied mercilessly, yet there are kids licking themselves and meowing and shitting in boxes openly in high schools these days?  That's the closest thing to a bridge too far for me.  High school kids accepting of kids crapping in boxes and acting like cats?  It's possible.

I do know a woman who works at a public school and believes all this stuff.  I could ask her about it, but I assume she would say that she's there making sure no litterboxes or cat acceptance happens?  Hell if I know.  I just want some answers, damn it.


Also, do the kids at the schools who identify as dogs chase the kids who identify as cats?  And do the kids who identify as horses crap while they walk?  I wish I went to school these days, it sounds absolutely insane. Why would anyone who identifies as an animal be in a school anyways? Shouldn't they be on farms upstate when they're sent there by their humiliated parents?

All I know is if any of you let your leftist kids come into my yard and they drag their ass across it or shit in my yard, I'm beating their ass with a newspaper and dropping them off at the pound.

The simplicity is the brilliance of it...if you are already predisposed to believe it.

Let's use another example:  Trump is a brilliant, rich businessman.  

I mean you've seen the photos, heard him talk about all his successes and money.

But there is a ton of proof that he's failed miserably over and over at businesses, filed for bankruptcy multiple times, been sued for lack of payment by contractors AND he BEGS for money from his cult like followers every...single...day to help pay for his "legal defense".  And there is no proof of his alleged wealth.  He "owns" some buildings and golf courses.  But he's inflated and deflated the values so much no one know the truth.

His true believers only need to hear the story that he's rich and nothing else is needed.

I know this looks bad officer, but the only reason I have this kid on a leash is because he swore to me that he was a dog.  Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to be late to have him neutered.

I think this is more akin to me saying that I'm a billionaire who owns golf courses and a casino, but I won't show them to you or tell you where they are because everyone knows I own them, do your research.

Or maybe it's more like when I told some kid in the neighborhood I had Super Mario 2 and he was like "I have Super Mario 6" and I was like "Is that real, I never heard of it because 2 just came out....can I play it?" and he was like "No."  So I mean...that kid might have had Super Mario 6, but I'll never truly know.

EDIT - Actually, it was Ninja Turtles for nintendo.  I said I played Ninja Turtles for nintendo and he said he had Ninja Turtles 6 for nintendo and when I kept pressing him to show me he finally brought out a copy of Ninja Turtles for nintendo and when I said "That's the same game I played, it's Ninja Turtles one." He said "No it's not, it's Ninja Turtles six." and that was that.

Am I the only one who grew up in a world of total bullshit and lies?

I'm not playing the victim, which you say that I "constantly want to be under attack," which is ironic as hell considering all of the insults in your post that you think I'm too stupid to understand.

See, the thing about assuming that I'm too stupid to see through all your garbage is you end up looking bad.

I present to schools to help kids and make a difference in their lives, which, in front of the entire school, a kid just told me after a recent presentation that I possibly stopped him from killing himself, so why would I punish kids for a school's policies?

Also, I asked about the litter boxes being required since the teachers had to go along with it, I didn't say they were allowed, which is just another example of you posting a lie because you backed yourself into a corner. Why else would you do it?

I feel like you are taking my skepticism personally. You seemed pretty sure this was a thing and said you were told it happens at a school you were at. I figured you had more inside info. I was wrong. Life goes onward. Have a good one.

The idea that this addiction to bullshit has carried over into both adulthood and mainstream politics is awesomely absurd.

Don't forget the fabled nudity code in Tomb Raider.

The developers even put in a fake nudity code in the sequel where Lara just blows up if you input it haha.

You claim I play the victim but then, two replies later, you say I take your skepticism personally like that wasn't a personal shot.

Once again, you're ignoring the fact that I DID answer your questions but now you're just going in a different direction and trying to bow out so you don't have to own up to anything you posted.

Also, on the same note, I said it happens at a school I presented at and gave as much info as I had and me asking about the litter boxes would indicate that I didn't have any insider info about that.
