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.

        To be fair, I was literally asking for them to cite their own references, but I appreciate the legwork. We’re going to have to do better, together, to make it through the coming years and while I do appreciate the passion behind knowing something true, that’s not enough to teach it. You have to share it effectively, and especially now, that means accurate & verifiable facts cited. IMHO, it’s something we should all strive for and expect from each other. 🙇🏽‍♂️🖖🏼
