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.

    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.

    Reminds me of this 43 year old song:

    Laß doch die Kleinen in Ruh
Laß doch die Kleinen in Ruh
du kuinierst mich so
du alte Sau

    edit: Full lyrics here. Definition of kuinieren.

      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.

      Edit: downvote all you want, people, but being exclusionary and cryptic is not a helpful way to communicate in public. It’s self-indulgent gatekeeping and it’s doesn’t contribute to the conversation.

      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?
