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.

    It’s wiki entries like this that clearly label it as a hoax which is why Republicans think Wikipedia is woke.

      Oh no, look! A website gathering from various quotes and sources and citing them to build a complete and comprehensive page of information about something!

      Even if anyone doesn’t “trust” wikipedia, you can look at the sources or do your own ressearch.

      But for any subject keep in mind to cross-check the info of your sources with multiple other sources and see if they tell you the same thing!

      I understand that most people won’t do it for news feeds they see online but if someone passes a law about this, it’s the absolute least you can do!

      Sometimes (most of the time lately) I’m happy to not be a resident of the US to avoid stupid stuff like that

      Edit : Just added the link to the furries act article in the see also section!
