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.
