I inferred no such thing. I made no comment regarding your opening post. I quoted something stated by another member, and I responded to it.  Seems simple enough. This isn't rocket science.

Correct, not rocket science nor brain surgery. And yet, you still refrain from answering the simple question I asked.
But I'll accept the I don't know. But, maybe you should................

I would suggest you're... misinformed. But please, "confirm" and enlighten me!

And PhatMax can confirm this... how? Maybe there are some schools that allow cats or kittens to reside within or routinely visit the premises?
"Did you hear the rumor about kitty litter boxes for ‘furries’ in public schools?"
Northeastern Global News; November 4, 2022.
https://news.northeastern.e...er-box-school-rumor/
| quote | An unfounded anecdote about kitty litter boxes for role-playing students in public schools is the rumor that just won’t quit, and especially in certain political circles.
Don Bolduc, Republican candidate for New Hampshire senator, is one of the latest conservative politicians to repeat the hearsay that schools are providing litter boxes for students who identify as anthropomorphic cats, or “furries,” according to CNN.
“And get this, get this,” Bolduc says in a recording obtained by CNN. “They’re putting litter boxes, right?… I wish I was making this up.”
It turns out the story is untrue.
The rumor, which has been repeated by several Republican nominees around the country as well as making the rounds of cocktail parties, has been repeatedly shot down by fact finding, including an Oct. 31 rebuke of Bolduc by Pinkerton Academy in Derry, New Hampshire.
The academy tweeted that political candidates are welcome to visit the campus “before making claims about what occurs here.”
The kitty litter box hoax has spread so far and so fast it even has its own debunking wikipage, which claims the rumor is in response to schools enacting rights for transgender students.
“This is absurd. Without merit at all,” says Lydia Young, teaching professor for Northeastern’s Graduate School of Education and faculty lead for the teacher licensure program. . . . |

Figures that a "Stage Three" (or should I say "Stooge Three"..?) MAGA-moron like Don Bolduc would have been talking up this nonsense.
From Canada...
| quote | Some parents are under the impression that School District 67 in Penticton has embraced diversity to the point of allowing students to use separate bathrooms complete with litter boxes, if they identify as a cat.
“Remember: what's good for the most marginalized students is often good for all,” according to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity 123 guide to inclusive bathrooms. “SOGI-inclusive facilities tend towards being more inclusive and safer for all students.”
Kitty litter does get purchased by SD67, according to a spokesperson from the district, however the litter is only used during the wintertime when added traction is needed on frozen surfaces.
“Senior management is aware of those rumours circulating on social media,” the spokesperson said, adding that the same story is gaining popularity in other parts of B.C.
“But they're just rumours.”
Wilbur Turner with Advocacy Canada in Kelowna said the rumour started because some schools in the U.S. did in fact purchase kitty litter and buckets for students to use as toilets, but only in the extraordinary measure of an active-shooter lockdown.
“This is an example of how facts are distorted to fit a narrative and used against a minority community,” Turner said. “This is harmful and damaging as it dehumanizes people and attempts to characterize them as somehow deviant and dangerous.”
The matter has been taken more seriously in other parts of North America.
In North Dakota, it has recently become illegal for public schools to provide “accommodation that caters to a student's perception of being any animal species other than human,” according to Bill 1522 which came into effect earlier this year.
That same bill also prohibits students from using washrooms that do not correspond with their sex, and allows trans students to be misgendered.
Last year, podcast host Joe Rogan said on his show that a school installed a litter box to accommodate a student who identified as a furry, though he retracted that comment on a later episode. |

What more do you want of me? I'm unfamiliar with the report (hoax or not), and quite frankly, have little interest in it.

Aw Rinse, you ruined all my fun. I was looking forward to the baloney that PhatMax was potentially going to post!

Ya know, that's all you were asked about from the start, doesn't matter to me but the responses were at best cryptic and full of distraction..................... It really didn't need to be that way.

As I stated, I can confirm this is NOT a hoax (with reference to the tampons/pads) as I work in a Canadian government building and they are indeed in place in the washrooms.
