Nebraska Republican Bruce Bostelman ranted about furries and how they’re supposedly infiltrating schools across the country, failing to realize that none of what he was saying is true. In the speech, Bostelman baselessly fear-mongered about the furries by claiming that schools are installing litter boxes to help accommodate the community. Yikes.

"A Republican lawmaker gave a speech about a wild online rumor that schools are providing litter boxes for students who identify as furries, going so far as to say that a student acting like a cat defecated on the floor when their school refused to give them a litter box.
The Nebraska senator has since acknowledged that he was spreading false information.
“Something that kind of took me aback a little bit, and I’m a little shocked, I guess, is how I would put it,” Nebraska Sen. Bruce Bostelman (R) said during a televised debate. “It’s about something called furries.”
Bostelman was discussing a bill intended to help students with behavioral problems when he got stuck in a tangent about furries.
“If you don’t know what furries are, it’s where schoolchildren dress up as animals, cats or dogs, during the school day. They meow and they bark, and they interact with their school, with the teachers in this fashion,” he said.
“And now schools are wanting to put litter boxes in the schools for these children to use. How is this sanitary?” Bostelman asked incredulously.
“How can schools allow this to happen? I think it’s very disruptive in the school system.”
Then Bostelman discussed a specific incident in which a student-furry went too far, although he did not say where he heard this story."
