In Texas, a proposed bill known as the FURRIES Act aims to prohibit students from mimicking animals in school settings. Representative Stan Gerdes claims there have been furry-related incidents, yet struggles to provide actual evidence. This narrative appears to be a part of a larger myth fuelled by conservative media, tying into fears around the education system and funding. The article critiques these claims, pointing out that such legislation might serve as a tactic to defund public schools rather than address any existent issues.
Gerdes insists so, noting in a press release that he had heard reports of a furry-related incident in at least one school.
Nevertheless, the myth that schools are hotbeds of cat-litter-based activity has been circulating for years, amplified by numerous Republicans and conservative influencers.
I am sure there are people out there so indoctrinated by Fox News and internet brain-rot that they sincerely believe teachers are trying to turn innocent schoolchildren into cats.
This all seems to be a cynical attempt to attack public (state) schools and justify defunding them.
