GOP does not want to admit that the kitty litter in classrooms is for active shooter situations when kids might be trapped in those rooms for hours.

"Pomona High in Arvada is equipped with the necessities in modern-day America: a touch-screen projector, a computer — and a bucket filled with kitty litter, just in case an active-shooting drill lasts longer than a student’s bladder can handle."

@ZhiZhu @zadrozny my sister, who is a teacher, told me of this. Small children especially have urgent toilet needs even in an active shooter lockdown. It probably would be better to provide absorbent crystal such as used in camping Porta potties

Yeah, but teachers have to pay for this out of their own pockets, and kitty litter is cheaper.

It's so sad that such a thing is even necessary. Gun violence in America is obscene.

@ZhiZhu @carolannie @zadrozny this will promote the alt-rights indignation about furries and their “litter boxes”.
It’s like these stories are part of a bigger view.
@carolannie @ZhiZhu @zadrozny Or, and just hear me out here, we could do something about the rot in our society that makes something like active shooter drills necessary in the first place.
