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 animals—cats or dogs—during 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?
Schools are not the correct forums for the absence of personal
restraint. Keep your quirks where they belong.
I've seen worse from certain conventions. Thankfully, most of those
incidents were just self-hating furries trolling, but not all were
fabricated.
