Who the fuck would this even affect?
Nobody is wearing a fur suit at school except for the mascot. Just a weird show of hate for someone different from him I guess.

Even though I'm not a furry, I'm like 90% sure I regularly "engage in anthropomorphic behavior". I probably would have been more confident before I saw this, but now I'm wondering if I've been misunderstanding that word for as long as I can remember.
Well technically anthropomorphic behavior I'm pretty sure means "human shaped behavior" so almost certainly. This politician is a fool as well as a bigot.
I think it’s calculated rather than weird. Demonizing hypothetical fursuit-wearing schoolchildren in a bill that will never become law is free red meat for this ghoul to throw to his base
The only people who are hurt are marginalized kids who will feel even more rejected, but who could possibly care about that
I assume some kid wore a tail or fox ears or choker to school and one of these lawmaker Chuds saw it
Gunning for the crucial 12-15 voter demographic I see
love to legislatively confirm the best and easiest way to wag school lmao
i remember when 'fursecution' was mostly a problematic/ironic concept used satirically to emphasize the actual oppression of racial and sexual minorities with the fact that furries weren't super popular on certain internet spaces.
but
CW mention of incorrect conflations in conservative thought relating to sexual minorities
obviously its not much more of a jump to assume that furries = zoophiles than it is to assume that gays = pedophiles or that trans = groomers
I’d say the fact that most people are unclear about the difference between anthropomorphic and feral art means that the difference is probably smaller than those things in most people’s heads
The question arises: is using Eurofurence and Monofur fonts on my system a political statement?
Oklahoma moment (Oklahoment)
Hate it when kids anthropomorphize each other
The guy qho proposdd this law looks like he cjews dip
