Furries in the classroom, litter boxes in the closet

That’s it, i’m convinced. The government must ban cat costumes, cat ownership, and destroy all extant copies of the film Cat People. Think of the damage being done until this is all done.

 

Fox News has discovered their next moral panic: cats on college campuses. Apparently, if somebody decides to put cats on college campuses to help stressed out students be a little less stressed out by petting them, that is a sign that we should be hitting them instead. Or something. Who knows.

Fox News: College Kids Who Find Comfort in Petting Cats Need a ‘Slap in the Face’

 

I'm a huge cat lover that finds comfort in petting my fur babies. Which one of you FOX dudes wants to try and slap me in the face. I'm open to all who wish they could, expect a serious beatdown, nobody comes between me and my animal babies. NOBODY!

 

10 Scientific Benefits of Being a Cat Owner
I suspect that Fox took that position based on data indicating that liberals are more likely to own cats than conservatives.

 

I don't think they actually did it,” attributing the whole situation to “one wacky mother” who the school ignored. Claims that furry students are using litter boxes have been debunked over and over, but the lie has persisted as a right-wing talking point.
I fed into that,” Rogan said in his podcast, admitting he had no facts to back up his claim.

(yes, we know)

 

But all the other people saying they heard it from someone are totally telling the truth and prove that it is really happening.

 

In his defense, he may be unaware of the HS in Gainesville

 

Kareem’s take on Rogan this morning. His Substack is consistently brilliant


My Take: This podcast really whipped up conservatives because they saw this as an extension of schools pandering to LGBTQ+ students. For them, this was an example of how absurd the liberals were. It was a swipe at education, which they fear, and at LGBTQ+, which they also fear. Their willingness to believe this without any facts explains why they hate education so much—it didn’t work on them.

Worse is that at least two politicians running for significant offices—Senate and governor—spread the lies without themselves or anyone on their staff actually checking to see if it was true. To voters in their state this should be a clear indication that they either don’t care about the truth, or they are too incompetent to find it. Either way, they sure as hell don’t care about the people in their states.

 

Hmmmmm....



It's going on in Australia too. This guy curses A LOT... you've been warned.



Teacher fired for not meowing back at student.

 

The evidence that this is happening is a parent saying they heard it was happening?

Edit: I find it informative that the video cuts off without showing the response from the school board.

Here is the superintendent's response:
Midland superintendent: ‘There have never been litter boxes within our schools’

“Let me be clear in this communication: There is no truth whatsoever to this false statement/accusation. There have never been litter boxes within MPS schools,” Sharrow wrote. “It is such a source of disappointment that I felt the necessity to communicate this message to you.”

 

Once again demonstrating that your favorite sources are YouTube videos regardless of the issue under discussion. If nothing else you are certainly predictable.

 

I'm going to make this my tag line.
