NAPERVILLE, IL — Congressional candidate Catalina Lauf recently took to Twitter to claim that debunked theories about schools offering litter boxes in gender neutral bathrooms for children identifying as animals or "furries" were "not a hoax." Lauf, who is challenging incumbent Rep. Bill Foster (D, IL-11) in the November general election, tweeted in response to an Oct. 3 article shared by CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski. Kaczynski shared an article he wrote calling the litter box theory an "internet hoax" after Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen denounced the rumored litter boxes in a speech to supporters. Lauf responded, "Andrew — with all due respect, this is not a hoax, and is happening in schools in Illinois, too."
