Oklahoma bill would ban 'furries' from school, require parent, 'animal control' to pick up rule-breakers
Fox News
A bill proposed by an Oklahoma lawmaker would ban "furries" from attending school and require either a parent or "animal control" to pick up students violating the rule.
The bill, introduced late last year by Republican State Rep. Justin Humphrey, targets "furries," what Dictionary.com describes as "member[s] of a subculture devoted to art, writing, or costumes depicting anthropomorphic animals." Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to joseph.wulfsohn@fox.com and on Twitter: @JosephWulfsohn.
"Students who purport to be an imaginary animal or animal species, or who engage in anthropomorphic behavior commonly referred to as furries at school shall not be allowed to participate in school curriculum or activities," the bill states.
