An old white Republican State Representative from Oklahoma introduced a new bill on Tuesday that would remove “students who purport to be an imaginary animal or animal species, or who engage in anthropomorphic behavior commonly referred to as furries at school” from school and prevent them from participating in school curriculum or activities. Parents would be required to pick up their children or “animal control services shall be contacted to remove the student” – the bill says.
The old man says it’s to deter children from identifying as animals, and states in a video he posted online that it was due to an urban myth from last year that a Michigan school district was providing litter boxes for students who identified as furries. In said video, he says:
“I don’t want to see some kid go into the bathroom in a litter box, in the kitty litter. Those people up bear have lost their mind letting these people pretend to be animals in the classroom… If they’re gonna be animals. Let’s send them to the pound, let’s send them home. How do you teach a cat math?”
