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.

Acting like animals is something humans do, just saying…
This is so vague it could mean any behavour. God, I hate facists.
seriously? seems fine for the most part
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?
that never happens
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
If you wanted to protect your kids, you’d be opposing fascism not furries.
You’re just a bigot hiding behind your kids. You’ll fit right in with the fascists.
I can and do oppose both
also nice work normalizing fascism
I wouldn’t want my kid to be exposed to that
Better never let your kids use the internet, then
As for the litterbox thing, it was a hoax:
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?
I totally agree! That’s why I’m in favor of repealing the fourth amendment. If you aren’t hiding anything illegal in your house, then you should have no problem with the police searching it. Why should you care?
And I don’t want my kid exposed to Mormons. Unfortunately, your rights end where my rights begin

Don’t American students already heil and recite oaths to a flag regularly?
We don’t “heil” in school… Yet.
Or not anymore.
Bellamy salute
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.
Free speech violations are fine when I don’t like the speech

The on-site police officer probably violently arrests you. And I’m only like 30% joking, from what I’ve heard of American schools
Banning 4 year old girls from wearing a headband with kitten ears. Good work.

Is he painting his nails?
He’s rolling a joint.
Literally banning children’s imaginations.
So this is a law that bans something that has basically never happened? And obviously it’s going to be abused and kids are going to get arrested for wearing headphones with cat ears or any other garment that could be construed as animal dress up?
Always has been. Satanic panic. MTF trans athletes dominating in women’s leagues. Crossdressers raping women in bathrooms. Metal music. Rap music. Harry potter. Immigrants being criminals. Immigrants being lazy and unskilled workers. Immigrants taking our jobs. Migrant caravans parading through the borders. Drag Queen groomers. Students shutting in litter boxes. All of these things were inconsequential or downright nonexistent but construed as the greatest threat to society each time.
90%+ of illegal immigrants arrived legally, by plane, and have overstayed their visa. The most dramatic and widespread athlete stories are completely inaccurate, like the AZ bikepacking story where the trans woman destroyed the record… in a co-ed event. No evidence exists that any student ever had a litter box or that a cross dresser rapes a woman - regular men bust into the women’s room all on their own. Metal music has way deeper, heartfelt lyricism than pop. Rap is always a racist thing. The drag queen thing is a dichotomy with trans athletes. Somehow, the queer community’s threat is that they’ll sexualize and convert children, which leads to their ban, but the most important detail in sports has to do with bluntly confirming what type of genitals your 12 year old pitcher has. The whole Harry Potter thing was probably a push to blend Christianity into government.
truncation away from texas own actual problems.
Fear and propaganda. The life blood of their party is in pushing the great fear of the big scary thing as a target to push through their rules to make the people safe…
It’s nazis just before the camps go up and the Jews get put in train cars.
Old MacDonald Had a Farm gets the whole class to jail in seconds 🤣
They are obsessed with these things. I wonder why? Repressed desires, I say.
The problem is, this can affect kids following (do I even need to specify it) harmless trends like plushy overalls or hairbands with ears.
So, they are also obsessed with dominating kids and putting their fingers where they don’t belong.
Was that comment meant to make sense specifically to you and cause the average reader here to go digging on their own?
It’s still a bizarre thing to do in a public forum.
I’d end this comment with an obscure 24 year old reference in my native language but I think that’d be pretty fuckin’ self-indulgent.
Laß doch die Kleinen in Ruh
Laß doch die Kleinen in Ruh
du kuinierst mich so
du alte Sau
kuinieren Aus französisch coionner. Hier in der Bedeutung von quälen, plagen, misshandeln.
So basically,
“Leave the little kids alone. Leave the little kids alone. You torment me so much, you old pig.”
“Small government” my ass
Oh, they’ll go there next, don’t you worry…
Dude. What a bizarre thing to type out. It’s exactly 43 years old, eh?
Leave the little ones alone
Leave the little ones alone
You (?) me so
You old sow”Did you mean “Du schikanierst mich so?”Maybe?
What are you going for with this? I can’t make heads nor tails of what this is and why it’s here 🤣
Edit: ruinierst?
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
Whew so surgically implanted tails are still good for plays
Licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance
Whew, so you’d still be able to lick people for other reasons.
The law would allow for exempt days, such as Halloween and other school dress-up days.
And I think they just sanctioned furry halloween. It’s gonna be wild.
Imagine being the lawyer who gets to defend our First Amendment right to fucking meow in front of the Supreme Court
oh man. I knew so many little kids that would have a spontaneous im an X day. This is so wierd. So its. First they came for the trans, then they came for minorities, then they came for the women, and then the furries
Ah yes, doing the important work. A lot less options with halloween though. Is Spiderman or Batman still ok, or too much animal reference? And what about cops, they all look like pigs. Are they going to arrest their colleagues every morning when they arrive at work?
Halloween actually got a specific exclusion.
Nice. Halloween is going to be a massive furry swarm for sure.
Is this even a real problem or are they just wasting time
