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.
What a bunch of fucking idiots. They fell for an online joke about kids using litter boxes, and instead of saying “oops, ya got us, haha good one” they double down on their stupidity.
It was barely even a joke. It was teachers keeping sand on hand incase the school has to lock down 8hr+ during a shooting, and the kids would have somewhere to go to the bathroom.
Texas has the most useless lawmakers. Smh
Surely this will this lower the cost of living
Price of eggs will go up: School kids are no longer allowed to lay their own eggs.
I ate the reverse Onion on the other post and thought this was satire.
People will eye roll, laws will pass, and free people will be arrested and shot at.
Performative nonsense.
