A Texas bill, known as the FURRIES Act, would ban non-human behaviors in public schools, including the use of litter boxes and wearing animal accessories.

Rep. Stan Gerdes, the bill’s author, claimed schools were providing litter boxes for students acting as “furries.”

When pressed, Gerdes could not find an example. The bill was left pending in committee.

    If they don’t include a clause for mascots or other performances, then they’ve fucked that up lol

    Just some kids in uniform standing around reciting Cats because they can’t act any of it 👍

      I thought of these things.

      Imagine the fun lawsuits you could launch over mascots and drama performances just to be a dick.

        You’ve just stumbled across the craziest shit about this.

        Instead of actually trying to improve anything imagine coming up with “fun lawsuits you could launch just to be a dick”

        You’ve just inadvertently summed up the entire GOP.

          Fight fire with fire.

          Create dumb laws? Sue schools in red states and deep red voters with animal mascots.
