OLIVIA, Minn. – Bird Island-Olivia-Lake Lilian, Minn. School Superintendent Jim Menton said he’s getting calls from concerned residents stemming from a prank that originated on Tik Tok.  

Students are recording reactions from parents or relatives when they tell them that their school is providing litter boxes for students that identify as animals. 

Menton said it’s an obvious prank.

“Some of the phone calls are from people who are questioning it,” Menton said. “They don’t think it’s right, and they just want to make sure that it’s not happening, which I respect that. If you hear something that you think is crazy, verify it before you pass that on.”

Menton said it’s hard to believe anyone would believe such a silly notion.
