Joe Rogan and Tulsi Gabbard spread the debunked internet hoax that students are using litter boxes at school

On the October 11 edition of his Spotify podcast, host Joe Rogan and former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) promoted the online hoax that students are using litter boxes in school restrooms, with Rogan claiming that one school had to install a litter box in the girls' room because there is a girl who's a furry, who identifies as an animal. Rogan and Gabbard framed the fabricated story as bananas and absolutely insane, respectively, and used the hoax to attack President Joe Bidens administration.
Rogan was seemingly referencing the persistent but baseless hoax that schools are placing litter boxes in bathrooms to accommodate students who self-identify as cats. The litter box hoax has been wielded as an anti-trans cudgel by prominent right-wing figures including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Chaya Raichik , who runs the viral anti-LGBTQ hate account Libs of TikTok. According to PolitiFact, School districts in Iowa, Michigan and Nebraska have debunked claims that they are providing litter boxes in bathrooms.

She is a full blown nut case, an anti-Muslim and anti-gay bigot also.

(9,326 posts)On his podcast with Michael Schermer, which dropped after the Tulsi episode, Rogan said, The kitty litter boxes is a weird one. I dont think they actually did it. One wonders if he knew he was full of it or found out afterwards.

(5,125 posts)Some Colorado schools are getting buckets and kitty litter so students can go to the bathroom during lockdowns if there's an active shooter.
SO THIS FRIVOLOUS BULLS**T is AGAIN a response to INSANE DENIAL of the need for RATIONAL action.
IF the REICH WING could:
1) Pull their collective head out of DUMP's Arse
2) Help US get some common sense gun legislation, instead of putting kids through these ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILLS
THEN TEACHERS wouldn't be forced to find ways to keep children SAFE in INSANE CONDITIONS
AND NO KITTY LITTER WOULD BE INVOLVED in the lives of children, unless their pets need it.

(145,699 posts)The story about litterboxes in schools never made sense. If there were such litterboxes, there would have been pictures. Children do not identify as cats and no child would consider using a litterbox in the real world. The fact that so many low IQ republicans believed this story is sad and tells you a great deal about the intelligence of TFG supporters.
I am glad Rogan admits that this story is not true and I am sad that so many GOP idiots believed it
