The Associated Press reports:
A Nebraska state lawmaker apologized on Monday after he publicly cited a persistent but debunked rumor alleging that schools are placing litter boxes in school bathrooms to accommodate children who self-identify as cats.
Sen. Bruce Bostelman, a conservative Republican, repeated the false claim during a public, televised debate on a bill intended to help school children who have behavioral problems. His comments quickly went viral, with one Twitter video garnering more than 300,000 views as of Monday afternoon, and drew an onslaught of online criticism and ridicule.
“They meow and they bark and they interact with their teachers in this fashion,” Bostelman said during legislative debate. “And now schools are wanting to put litter boxes in the schools for these children to use. How is this sanitary?”

As you may recall, the claim first began being spread back in January by Michigan GOP co-chair Meshawn Maddock, who had been in the national news that week for her role in the fake electors scandal.
As you can see below, the cultist Twitter account Libs Of TikTok has also been pushing this bullshit.
According to the above-linked AP report, the claim got new life this week thanks to a Facebook group called Protect Nebraska Children.
