    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

    I believe that as much as the original claim.

      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.

        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.
