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.

Of course not. Like most of their "anti-woke" ideas, they are based on lofty ideas.

They do this to misdirect you from the real problems, those that they usually caused all by themselves.

@Treczoks It's not based on any lofty ideas. It's based on a very stupid rumour that probably started as a joke some years ago. These are not 'idea' people. They are very stupid people.
