Supplementary #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesIsabellaGrullonPaz "It started with a comment at a school board meeting, which was later amplified by a Michigan state Republican leader, and culminated with a school superintendent explaining that, no, there were no litter boxes on school grounds for students to use if they identified as furries. 'It is unconscionable that this afternoon I am sending this communication,' the superintendent of Midland Public Schools, Michael Sharrow, wrote on Thursday in an email to parents that was also shared on Facebook. 'However, our Midland PS stakeholders may be confused about a false message/accusation that has resurfaced this week and is gaining traction in the social media realm.' The rumor that furries -- people who have an interest in anthropomorphic animal characters and sometimes dress up as them -- used litter boxes in the school district, which is about two hours northwest of Detroit, appears to have started at a school board session last month, based on a video of the meeting. A member of the public who spoke at the meeting, Lisa Hansen, says in the video that she was informed by someone the day before the meeting that litter boxes had been added to the 'unisex bathrooms' for students who 'identify as cats.' 'I was stunned,' Ms. Hansen says in the video. 'And today I am equally stunned and a little bit upset -- well, not a little bit, a lot of bit upset. Furious -- I would even use that word.' ... In his statement, Mr. Sharrow debunked the rumor as categorically false. 'Let me be clear in this communication,' he wrote. 'There is no truth whatsoever to this false statement/accusation! There have never been litter boxes within MPS schools.'" https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/23/us/politics/michigan-litter-box-school.html #EDUUSMidlandPublicSchools #IRLParentLisaHansen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDrxwMA36qw&t=2044s Midland Public Schools Board of Education meeting on December 20, 2021.
