The unfounded rumour has gained traction in the context of anger among some about transgender rights and teaching about gender identity.
Furthermore, the boards do not collect information about the animal identity of children, nor do they recognize animal identities, said the joint notice from the Renfrew County District School Board and the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board.
A spokesperson said the Renfrew County District School has noticed an increase in misinformation circulating on social media in the past few weeks. School principals and secretaries have received complaints and queries about litter boxes in schools.“I think it was just a matter of time before that misinformation made its way here,” said Hannah MacMillan, spokesperson for the Renfrew County District School Board.
Last month, the Eganville Leader newspaper published a letter to the editor from a Barry’s Bay resident who claimed seven children in Renfrew schools were identifying as animals. That included one identifying as a frog and another who thought they were a cat and used a litter box in the school washroom, the letter writer said.
It’s not clear if there is a direct connection between the surveys and the rise of cat litter stories, saidHowever, Hebert said, “There is no doubt that we have groups of people in our community who are openly opposed to the ministry census and openly opposed to anyone who is part of the 2SLGBTQI+ community, and I think we can agree that this is, unfortunately, the case everywhere.”That statement also dismissed rumours about students who identified as “furries” taking outdoor bathroom breaks.
The litter box rumour appears to have started last year in Michigan, where a parent told a school board meeting she was stunned to hear that schools had litter boxes in unisex bathrooms for students identifying as cats, according to a report in the New York Times.This fall, Republican candidate for governor in Colorado Heidi Ganahl said schools were tolerating children self-identifying as furries all over the state. “It’s insane … Knock it off, schools,” Ganahl said in an interview on KNUS.
