The state of Nebraska is located in Lincoln, Neb. A Nebraska state lawmaker apologized on Monday after he publicly cited a rumor that schools are placing litter boxes in the bathroom to accommodate children who identify as cats. During a public, televised debate on a bill intended to help school children who have behavioral problems, Sen. Bruce Bostelman repeated a false claim. His comments quickly went viral, with one video getting more than 300,000 views as of Monday afternoon, and drawing an onslaught of online criticism and ridicule. When he heard that children were dressing as cats and dogs at school, he was shocked. The children interact with their teachers in this way and now schools want to put litter boxes in the schools. How is this sanitary?

The statement issued by the district's superintendent said that there had never been litter boxes in the schools. The baseless rumor has spread across the country and become fuel for political candidates. Hours after his remarks, he backtracked and acknowledged that the story was not true. He checked into the claims and found no such incidents. If this really was happening, we needed to address it quickly.
