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.

    RIP.

    [1] The idiots on the right think it’s because papers were “too liberal”, lol, and either completely ignorant of, or lying about, how the advertisement model was nuked by things like Craig’s list and so on.

    it’s the fascist rhetoric rule. Unfortunately it’s so incredibly prevalent these days im not sure society will be able to make a comeback from it. I think we’ve reached a point of no return in terms of “why do people care about this shit” it’s gotten to a point where it justifies caring about itself innately. Rather than any sort of external justification, and people keep falling for it.

    Step 1: lie

    step 2: gaslight people

    step 3: gaslight and legitimize

    step 3: you win
