How fucked up in the head do you need to be to make shit like that up? It's not even just an adult, which would be stupid enough, no, it's an education official.
I mean it’s not much different than

Make up some disinformation. Use it as a talking point to get people on your side and advance your goals
I think falsely claiming preschoolers have rooms for masturbation or anything sex-related is still a tad worse than falsely claiming they shit or pee weirdly. They serve the same goal of attacking public schools, but one still just seems more fucked up than the other.
On the one hand, it's similarly ridiculous. On the other hand, I think just about everyone would be more startled disgusted by the claim here.
Conservatives generally have an astonishing skill at coming up with the weirdest bullshit to justify their hate of anyone progressive.
considering their tendency to project im always worried its not made up.
Poland is very religious. Their politicians know that religious people are essentially brain damaged and will believe pretty much anything as long as it comes from someone they view as an authority figure (even if its proven wrong, they'll still stick with it). Raising children to be religious is child abuse.
I think it's about the general view on masturbation. Like I guess some people in Poland would love to tell preschoolers that masturbation is wrong and shouldn't be done at all. If anyone teaches children it's ok, but they shouldn't do it in front of everyone, it's easy to imagine it leads to the idea of a masturbation room, which can easily cause outrage in Polích population despite the fact it's actually nothing wrong.
Reality is a team sport, to some people. Claims are not evaluated. They're simply accepted or rejected based on interpersonal trust.
They think you're the same way. They think that's all there is.
About as fucked as any ~~conservative~~ regressive representative, pundit, or a good chunk of their voters.
