Here's a comprehensive Wikipedia description of the widespread "litter boxes in schools" hoax:

https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-am-the-school-custodian-in-charge-of-classroom-litter-boxes-ask-me-anythingOne person I saw spreading this hoax was a medical doctor in suburban Minneapolis who ran for governor last time and is now running for state auditor. Republican, of course. But I had talked to him a year or two earlier and he'd seemed fairly sane.
He also claimed doctors were falsely reporting deaths as due to COVID, even if they actually were heart attacks or car accidents, so they could get government handouts under COVID stimulus policies. He later walked it back and said that he had no evidence that anyone was actually doing that, but that they
could do it under current law.
He did not walk the litter-box thing back.
