"The Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education Act, or FURRIES Act, would impose fines on schools for not stopping students from acting like animals, with penalties escalating for repeated offenses."
"The rumor of students dressing as furries has been perpetuated in rightwing media, often used to challenge the legitimacy of accommodations for transgender students in schools."
"Examples of behaviors targeted by the bill include meowing, wearing leashes or animal-like ears, and licking oneself or others, which are deemed unacceptable in educational settings."
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced support for the Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education Act, aimed at punishing schools for not addressing students acting like animals. The bill, introduced by state Rep. Stan Gerdes, imposes fines on districts for such behaviors, including meowing and wearing animal-like accessories. The myth of students dressing as furries has circulated in rightwing media, often linked to discussions about transgender accommodations, prompting school districts to clarify that such behaviors are not permitted.
