This is real...madness. The state of Texas, to me, seems to be actively working against public schools. It recently passed a voucher bill for private schools.

F.U.R.R.I.E.S. Act Would Ban Animal Behavior in Class

The proposal would require all public school districts to include prohibitions on “non-human behavior” in their student codes of conduct.
A Texas lawmaker is taking aim at “furries” in public schools with new legislation that would prohibit students from engaging in non-human behavior on campus.

House Bill 4814 by State Rep. Stan Gerdes (R–Smithville), also known as the Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education (F.U.R.R.I.E.S) Act, seeks to ban students from presenting themselves as anything other than a human being during school hours, except on designated dress-up days.

Gov. Greg Abbott highlighted the bill in a speech at the Texas Pastors Policy Conference in Austin on Thursday.

FFS! I barked, meowed, wore costumes (even when it wasn't Halloween), and HISSED all through high school -- before there were "#Furries"! It's called using your imagination and getting out of the human headspace! Practiced by many cultures for thousands of years!

A Texas bill could ban ‘#furries’ from public schools—yes, really

Story by Vanessa Esguerra, March 20, 2025

"Texas lawmakers first came for vaguely suspicious anime. Now they’re coming after the 'furries.' In a newly proposed house bill, Texas legislators are aiming to crack down on what they believe to be the 'furry subculture.'

#HB4814, otherwise known as the #FURRIESAct, will 'prohibit the accommodation or allowance of distracting or unhealthy roleplaying behavior.' That includes barking, hissing, and imitating animal noises."
