Had somebody tell me about schools keeping litterboxes for furries, and I just looked at them and asked “Does that really sound like something that’s actually happening, or does it sound like something someone said as a joke?”
They insisted that it actually happened, and I was like, “I don’t believe that. I’m surprised you believed it.”
It wasn’t the most thorough debunking I could have come up with, but I was proud of myself that I actually called them out on it, instead of giving them a high eyebrow smile-and-nod.
Technically schools are keeping litterboxes in classrooms, but the reason is very different. It’s because in the event of a school shooting, kids don’t have to leave to go to the bathroom. But if people were talking about that they might start thinking about the real problems, and they can’t have that.
This is probably the best way to deal with someone in these situations. No insults, no arguments, just “I thought you were smarter than that”. It might actually make them think about it rather than dismiss you out of hand.
I’m still pretty sure she was doing some sort of performative protest against transgender tolerance. Like “Oh, we’re going to have to accept trans women? How about if I wear enormous fake boobs and dress in tight clothing? Will you tolerate me then?”
And the school said “Yeah, we support you,” and they received bomb threats. This just proves once again who the real enemy is. No children were corrupted by her giant fake boobs, but terrorists threatened to indiscriminately murder children to keep her from being herself.

We had the litter box rumor at a local military shipyard…
I like asking them to name the school. Same thing with their claims that kids are being exposed to gay porn.

Ask yourself if it’s something that nearly everyone would be against.
If the answer is yes, then it’s probably not true and you should do actual research to see if it is real.
These days, if you say you’re English, you get arrested and thrown in jail.

Obviously it sounds like the kind of thing that is happening.
For example that teacher in Canada who came to school worth enormous fake breasts.
That happened.
