ND Bill Declares Emergency On Litter Boxes In Schools

NBC News reports:

“A board of a school district, a public or private school, or a teacher in a public or private school may not adopt a policy establishing or providing a place, facility, school program, or accommodation that caters to a student’s perception of being any animal species other than human,” the bill, labeled an “emergency measure” by its authors, states.

While the North Dakota bill does not mention litter boxes, one of the bill’s sponsors, state Rep. Lori VanWinkle, said her state does indeed have students who don’t identify as human. “Yes we have people who would like to claim themselves as animals such as cats and dogs,” VanWinkle wrote in an email.

The bill, if passed, would also ban accommodations for transgender students. Schools found to be in violation of the policy could be fined up to $500,000 in damages, the bill states.
