Michigan GOP Chair Pushes Conspiracy About Schools Supplying ‘Litter Boxes’ for Students Identifying as ‘Furries’

After a MAGA parent’s unhinged claim at a Michigan school board meeting about “unisex bathrooms” in her child’s school having “litter boxes” in them for kids who identify as “furries” went viral, Meshawn Maddock, the pro-Trump co-chair of Michigan’s Republican Party - immediately smelled pure gold and began promoting this bogus conspiracy theory everywhere. Even though the story was completely false, many parents became extremely upset and panicked over the matter, so much so that Midland Public Schools (MPS) Superintendent Michael E. Sharrow was forced to take to the airwaves and “officially” deny rumors of “school bathroom letterboxes.”

Now, is it just me, or does it seem like these days, all it takes is for some MAGA half-wit to publicly make some completely outrageous claim - no matter how batshit crazy it may be - and Republicans will immediately scramble to pass a law to try to “ban it” - even though the thing they supposedly banning, doesn’t even exist. Hell, it appears about the only thing MAGA Republicans won’t believe at this point, are facts.

Now, to demonstrate how nicely all this works for the conspiracy crowd, shortly after the Michigan GOP publicized this “litter boxes in bathrooms” warning, MAGA parents began reporting children “coughing up furballs.” Perhaps worse, others said they were forced to head over to Petco and purchase “scratching posts,” just to protect their home furniture. Luckily, these are parents who’d have plenty of ivermectin on hand, should their kids get worms.

And, it doesn’t stop there folks. Scores of MAGA parents reported that after school, kids came right home and went directly up to their rooms to watch the musical “Cats,” instead of going to the rifle range for their AR-15 target practice. Now, I suppose if there is anything positive to come out of this, it would be that so far - no parents have reported having to have their child spayed or neutered. That’ll last, till they start spraying on furniture - to mark their scent.
