    he is a cunt, literally lied about how he heard they are putting cat litter into classes so that kids eho identify as cats have somewhere to go, then when called out on it that it’s bullshit he just said it’s a joke or something.

    the real reason litter was being put into classes was so that if a school shooting happens kids have somewhere to go and it doesn’t go everywhere

    it’s covered in Some more News’ Moral panic video

      Do Americans not realize how fucked up their country sounds to the rest of us when they do this kind of shit instead of controlling you-know-what?

        We absolutely do. Our country has been captured and held hostage by a small minority of selfish morons.

          Gun control is tricky; studies that I’ve seen show that a large majority want “dune kind of gun control” but any discussion of what that entails starts to get less popular in a hurry.

          I’ve found that many otherwise reasonable people get upset really quickly when the subject even gets brought up.

            Gun control is ineffective. The real issue plaguing the US is poverty and mental health. Just look to some of the areas with the most strict gun control laws, they’re also the areas with the highest gun violence statistics in the country. Chicago, New York, LA to name a few.

            One of the reasons places like schools are targeted so often is because it’s a known soft target. Gun free zones are known to have less resistance to the scumbags and cowards that are doing these heinous acts. If they knew that every adult could potentially fight back and give as good as they get, I would expect there would be far fewer mass shootings. These people are cowards praying upon those who cannot resist, and even the threat of potential return fire is enough to deter most.

            I’m not saying that we should force every teacher to become certified and carry, but it should be up to them whether they choose to fight for their students, and if they do they should have the same or better tools than the bad guys.

              This. This is exactly what OP was talking about when they said we look crazy to the rest of the world.

              LA probably has more laws about fishing from piers than Phoenix does too. Places with higher gun crime rates combat that with gun laws.

      I believe that as much as the original claim.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litter_boxes_in_schools_hoax?wprov=sfla1

        The only known official instance of cat litter being placed in school classrooms for potential use by students was in the late 2010s by the Jefferson County Public School District in Colorado, where the 1999 Columbine High School massacre took place. Some teachers were given “go buckets” that contained cat litter to be used as a toilet in an emergency lockdown situation, such as during a school shooting.

        moral panics always have a core of truth in them maybe watch the video it’s really good, adresses the satanist panic etc.

        Here is a video that went viral of a teacher explaianing the “bathroom bucket” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEEP2PfxYSQ If you search for a “Classroom Lockdown Bucket” you will get numerous results of websites selling a bucket filled with emergency supplies that can also be used as a toilet.

          Only in America does a bucket need to be marketed as a place to take a shit when toilets aren’t available.

          The stupidity of Americans is comical. Yet there’s pride in the ignorance. Astonishing.
