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.

If anyone wants the wikipedia article about this litter box in schools thing, here you go+

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

One thing I'd like to see under Reactions would be one from furries, because we don't want litter boxes. That's not a thing. The whole premise is broken.
