False Reports Lead State Senator to Call for Investigation Into
'Furries' BY THOMAS KIKA ON 3/28/22 AT 7:51 PM EDT
"A state senator claimed false reports lead him to express concerns
over "furries" being catered to in schools.
Nebraska State Senator Bruce Bostelman, a Republican, took to the
state Senate floor on Monday and addressed his concerns that some
schools were allegedly providing litter boxes for the use of students
that self-identify as cats or dogs, who he referred to as "furries."
Bostelman said that such a practice would be "very disruptive to the
school system."
"I'm a little shocked," Bostelman said. "It's something called
furries. If you don't know what furries are it's where school children
dress up as animalsâcats or dogsâduring the school day. They meow
and they bark and they interact with their school, with their teachers
in this fashion. And now schools are wanting to put litter boxes in
the schools for these children to use. How is this sanitary?""
"Bostelman continued with an alleged anecdote about a student who
defecated on the floor after their school refused to provide a litter
box for them to use.
"What is going on?" he added. "Some kids can't wear an American flag
and walk through the school in their shirt. And you keep them out of
school?"
Later on Monday, Omaha-based journalist Jon Kipper reported that
Bostelman and another Nebraska state senator, Lynne Walz, reached out
to the school districts named in the rumors and were "assured none of
that happened." School districts across the country subjected to
similar rumors have also denied them outright."

You would think that the correct time to do a little fact
checking
would be _before_ you've made a public ass of yourself and not after.
I've met a few furries. I don't think any of them use a litter box or
defecate in public.
The operative words were "I don't think." Isn't that so?'Furries' BY THOMAS KIKA ON 3/28/22 AT 7:51 PM EDT

Schools are not the correct forums for the absence of personal restraint.
Keep your quirks where they belong.
