After actually believing that kids who identify as cats go to school and the school provides a litter box for them, Texas State Rep. Stan Gerdes (R-of course) authored the ‘Anti-Furry Bill,’ which would ban schools from providing litter boxes to kids who identify as cats. 😂🤣😹
But, on Wednesday Rep. Gerdes admitted that no evidence exists of his claim after Rep. James Talarico repeatedly grilled him.
“Can you name a school where it has been confirmed that students are using litter boxes?” Talarico repeated. “This was at the top of your press release. This was mentioned when you introduced this bill. Created quite a stir. So I’m asking, can you name a school where it’s been confirmed that there are litter boxes being provided to students?”
Gerdes conceded, “For this purpose? No, I cannot.”
“I find it concerning that these types of debunked conspiracy theories are being used by politicians at the highest levels of our government, including in this legislature, who know that they’re incorrect,” Talarico continued. “Are you aware that Gov. Abbott said, quote, ‘Kids go to school dressed up as cats with litter boxes in their classrooms?'”
