Man Who Wants To Run Oklahoma’s Schools Buys Into Bogus ‘Cat Litter’ Conspiracy Theory – By Jonathan Nicholson (Huffpost) / Nov 4, 2022
Republican Ryan Walters, a candidate for state school superintendent, promoted the urban legend.
A man who wants to run Oklahoma’s school system has pushed a claim about liberals supposedly installing litter boxes in schools to accommodate students who identify as cats, even though it’s been debunked as a myth.
Republican Ryan Walters’ comments appeared in a video posted by The Lost Ogle, an Oklahoma blog. The site said Walters was “talking to a group of fellow right-wing voters earlier this month at a meeting in Stillwater.”
“I got a call over the weekend from a former colleague and he said, ‘Ryan, I’m telling you right now…’” Walters said, before his voice trailed off a bit.
”Have you heard about the litter boxes stuff?” he then asked the audience.
