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.
Old MacDonald Had a Farm gets the whole class to jail in seconds 🤣
Ban kids from playing pretend? This is gonna go swimmingly.
The youth are famously reasonable about complying with stupid rules. (This is sarcasm.)
Is he painting his nails?
So this is a law that bans something that has basically never happened? And obviously it’s going to be abused and kids are going to get arrested for wearing headphones with cat ears or any other garment that could be construed as animal dress up?
Fear and propaganda. The life blood of their party is in pushing the great fear of the big scary thing as a target to push through their rules to make the people safe…
It’s nazis just before the camps go up and the Jews get put in train cars.
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
“Small government” my ass
Oh, they’ll go there next, don’t you worry…
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?
seriously? seems fine for the most part
Should the government regulate space aliens in school too? Why not target the infinity of scenarios that never happens, or should we just skip straight to mandating that school is only for nazi salutes?
Don’t American students already heil and recite oaths to a flag regularly?
We don’t “heil” in school… Yet.
When kids do it, it’s called the Bellamy salute.
