An Australian senator has spoken against an alleged incident where a Melbourne school girl identified as a cat, calling it a product of the woke culture getting out of control. 
It comes after the Herald Sun reported on Aug. 21 that a private Melbourne school allowed a nonverbal but “phenomenally bright” girl to identify and behave as a cat, saying they have a “unique” approach to supporting students’ mental health.
