The Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education, or FURRIES, Act, filed by Austin-area Republican State Rep. Stan Gerdes, would “prohibit any non-human behavior by a student, including presenting himself or herself, on days other than exempt days, as anything other than a human being.”
The law would allow for exempt days, such as Halloween and other school dress-up days.
The law defines “non-human” behavior as “any type of behavior or accessory displayed by a student in a school district other than behaviors or accessories typically displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,” with provided examples being:
Using a litter box for the passing of stool, urine or other human byproducts
A personal or outward display, except during a school play or by a school mascot, through surgical or superficial means of features that are non-human such as using tails, leashes, collars or other accessories designed for pets
Using fur, other than naturally occurring human hair or a wig made to look like human hair
Artificial, animal-like ears
Other physiological features that have not historically been assigned to the human race through a means of natural biological development
Students who bark, meow, hiss or make other animal noises that are not human speech
Licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance.
Should the government regulate space aliens in school too? Why not target the infinity of scenarios that never happens, or should we just skip straight to mandating that school is only for nazi salutes?
well, furries exist and are popular especially among younger people. I wouldn’t want my kid to be exposed to that
also, that fact that they explicitly named using a litterbox instead of a toilet as an expample is telling. with a law prohibiting this and similar things, nothing of value is lost
And I don’t want my kid exposed to Mormons. Unfortunately, your rights end where my rights begin
we should always make our laws based off of propaganda and not reality.
if those things don’t exist, noone should have a problem with them being forbidden. it’d be like prohibiting you from travlling to the other end of the galaxy. why should you care?
Don’t American students already heil and recite oaths to a flag regularly?
We don’t “heil” in school… Yet.
Or not anymore.
this was before the Nazi’s and facists ruined it.
You might also be interested to know that the Charlie Chaplin style of mustache was the most popular in world until Hitler wore it.
AFAIK it was the maximum amount of beard allowed for soldiers at the end of World War 1, because of the gas masks.
So millions of men returned from the war with that moustache.
When kids do it, it’s called the Bellamy salute.
