    Humphrey’s bill, House Bill 3084, would ban “students who purport to be an imaginary animal or animal species, or who engage in anthropomorphic behavior commonly referred to as furries at school” from participating in class and school activities.

    This is, hands down, the worst description of furries I have ever read in my entire life.

      Hell, it sounds like something Kindergarteners have been doing since forever.

        I used to pretend to be a monster at that age. Would they have to call Monster Control?

        (I was a nice monster, like on Sesame Street.)

      So what I’m hearing is if I tell the teacher I’m a platypus I don’t have to go to class?

      Guaranteed if this law got passed there would be a high school somewhere where the entire student body shows up wearing cat ears.

      Ironically also means that it basically wouldn’t apply to anyone unless that person specifically wants it to. Performative outrage bill.

      yeah you see you can’t do the intelligent thing of just saying “you have to come to school with normal clothes on” which is literally what countries with a brain did. Also this is generally left to the school to set up. In France the law just says that a school is allowed to implement rules regarding clothing. Just simply think of P.E clothing. The law has a couple safeguard like you can’t ban a specific outfit for being from another culture (obvious) and the rest is left for the school to decide

        Like basically every school in the US has a dress code already. Don’t get this twisted into something else, this is purely performative nonsense by some backwoods inbred redneck.
