House Bill 3084 labeled 'Oklahoma furry bill'

House Bill 3084 labeled 'Oklahoma furry bill'
www.oklahoman.com...

Ahead of the 2024 Oklahoma legislative session, Humphrey filed a bill targeting "furries," or people in a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters, in Oklahoma schools.

Humphrey's bill, House Bill 3084, would ban "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 participating in class and school activities.

The bill would require parents or guardians to pick the student up from school. But, if parents are unable to pick the student up, the bill says "animal control services shall be contacted to remove the student."

I heard about this today through one guy I follow on IG and was like wth is going on at schools? Is this real that a Bill had to be passed because kids are going so woke and so indentity dysphoric that legal action is now taking place to try and correct this mess? This just blows me away but I agree, come to school dressed normal and wear your cute furry outfit at home, party, Halloween or wherever floats your boat and toots your identity horn.

I also thought it was hilarious that they said animal control services would be contacted...laughed my ass off but thought you know what? If you identify as an animal, then you can also be treated as such! This world is going down into the #ter with this woke culture.

And it isn't just in Oklahoma, but other states are starting to look at banning this activity as well...

A North Carolina School District Wants To Ban 'Furry' Costumes
reason.com...

In one North Carolina school district, students may soon find an unusual new directive in their school's dress code policy: a ban on "furry" costumes.

Officials in the Iredell-Statesville School District, which serves a suburb of Charlotte, North Carolina, appear to be undertaking a strange response to a social media hoax. According to Queen City News, a local news station, the school district was recently inundated with emails alleging that students identifying as "furries" had been coming to schools dressed as animals and bringing litter boxes into school bathrooms.

While officials determined that the reports were false, some school board members appear to believe there is some danger to the hoax. As a result, board members have proposed an amendment to the district dress code to officially bar students from wearing "furry" costumes to school, "including tails, gloves, ears, or collars."

...the board introduced a proposed amendment to the district's dress code that would ban "a costume or part of a costume including tails, gloves, ears, or collars." The policy contains exceptions for spirit weeks or theatre productions. The new policy appears intended to quash rumors that the school district supports "furry" students by explicitly banning animal costumes. "We're trying to address it before it becomes a major problem"

(honestly these masks have an evil look to them...don't even look like friendly furries)

What are your thoughts on this ATS? I really think that whatever is happening in a child's household is a reflective of what's happening in the school environment. Not to mention all this gender/identity talk that teachers (left-wing likely) are spewing at the students. Enough is enough! Let the kids be kids but THIS sh*t is ridiculous. SMH

As a furry myself, everything can be taken too far. I have more of a problem with the misinformation and overreaction than the furries expressing themselves. While it could be a distraction, it should be covered in the dress code of the school system rather than a law specifically for furries.

I see it as some adults that could have been scared by mascots as kids. Now their only reaction is "Eeuwww, it's a furry!"

The litterbox part is a joke from both sides. It is funny but like most things humorous, some people have no sense of humor anymore.

If you are concerned about the adult type activities, I have seen more of that openly expressed at anime conventions than furry conventions.

While some costume parts are not that good, you have to consider that the kids probably made them themself. Calling them evil is not helpful. Also that photo is not a good angle.

This is similar to the people that think Halloween can turn you evil. If candy is all you need to turn you evil, then there's something deeper wrong with you.

Banning porn and furries in Oklahoma.

This is what legislators have time for with all the OTHER things people are bitching about?

Again, what is the OBSESSION Republicans have with others and their bedroom activities. It's weird, creepy, and not normal.

Porn and dressing up is actually normal activities for adults, but worrying about others doing it, ISN'T.

I'm not a republican, and I am not obsessed with anyone's bedroom activities. What's weird and creepy is for the trans, drag queens, and gays, to want to broadcast their bedroom activities. Their want/need to write children's books that elude to those activities. And the idea children are fully capable of deciding their gender. those things are weird and creepy.

If you want to talk about normal. Normal is based on what the majority of any species does/is/looks like/behaves. The vast majority of the human species is not gay, is not trans, is not under some delusion of being a different species. This behavior is alarming, and whats even more alarming. No one is trying to figure out what is causing this.

Without getting into the degeneracy of what adults can do, it is an issue when it is trickling into what kids are doing. Your comments clearly indicate that this is somehow a sexualized thing or you wouldn't be randomly talking about bedroom behavior. Since that is the case, it definitely has no place in children.

Nobody cared until they started pushing stuff on children -- first through social media, then through schools. It is true that this needs to be dealt with via dress code, but since all things went crazy and laws have been enacted and schools enforce that people must be addressed by whatever they identify as this week, then laws have to be enacted to allow educators to function in crazy town.

Nothing is causing this.

No parenting.

No discipline.

No real leadership.

No norms to follow.

You see, nothing is causing this.

You have a good grasp on this. But this whole things is what created the "Furries". If you can be a dude but identify as a chick, dress like a chick, and DEMAND others address you as if you were a chick, the next logical step is folks identifying as house plants, furniture, or pets. And based on the new "rules", how would you make the claim that one is OK, but the others are not? If the end goal is to ignore reality, and live in the fantasy that an unwell mind creates, then who gets' to choose where the boundaries are?

This is and was a stupid experiment, and likely was started by China to disrupt American culture. And with the left and the MSM (same thing) promoting this as acceptable and even consider them marginalized and in need of protection, there is no limit to the lunacy that is still yet to come.

I do worry about all those young impressionable minds that get these ideas from Tick Tock, and then their parents and peers all placate them rather than explain reality. Talk about being screwed up from the start.

Boy are you late to the game.

They had pet play and pony play in Victorian times. I don't have the links anymore but there was some clubs dedicated to it in Europe. They had horse tack made for people even back then. Furries are over 50 years old in concept if not name.

Monty Python had the mouse problem.



There are many examples that are even older.

Yes, people have f*%ked sheep for millenia. By all means it should be normalized and even celebrated.

There are many aspects of lunacy that I missed in my relatively normal life. Prior to the internet, things like this didn't exist as long as you didn't know about them.

I remember a guy in my unit getting a computer and internet back in the early 90's. He used it for what the internet was meant for. Disgusting porn. He would print out pictures and bring them in. Things I can't unsee. That's how I feel about all this. I can't erase it from my knowledge, but if I could, I would.

Are you saying that a adult mind, that should be able to distinguish between reality and fiction, is the same as a child's mind? Children's minds have not fully developed. Indulging them in fantastic fantasies as reality, could cause and probably will cause some serious problems later in life.

Playing pretend after school is one thing. To start leading a full and rewarding life as a fictional creature, that everyone has to indulge you in, is another.

There is several court cases now. Where the claim is, social media took advantage of children's underdeveloped brains, and turned then into school shooters/mass shooters. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. If it is ruled social media did influence those shooters.

You mean 40% of kids growing up in the kalahari desert aren't confused about their identity (sexual or otherwise). Color me shocked that a massive grass-roots campaign fueled by the media and targeting kids could influence that. Imagine if every teen show didn't have some confused victim of abuse as two of the 5 main characters.

Bolding mine, words yours.

Answered your own question mate.

If the left kept THEIR bedroom activities to themselves and didnt shove it down the public's throat, the Republicans wouldn't care.

And it ALL needs to stay out of the schools.

when you say it like that, it makes so much sense, but if I get good and upset/offended before I read it, you are just mean and wrong.

Are there any cases of kids thinking they're animals in the state? Who is meant to be spreading rumours this will be a 'major issue' in schools, the gateway pundit or the onion?

Seems like a completely made up non issue by attention seeking politicians to cover for the fact they have no idea how to deal with issues that actually exist, let alone affect peoples lives.

Why not introduce a bill to stop idiots like this running for office or introduction of such stupid legislation?

a reply to: bastion
If you are going to fire teachers who won't address kids as Woofie or Meowser, you need laws to protect them from such nonsense apparently. Keep grooming kids and keep winning stupid prizes.

Any examples of that happening in the state or is it more made up hyperbole like the bill?

Why are you labelling me a child groomer simply for asking for evidence the bill isn't a waste of taxpayers time and money?

a reply to: bastion
lmao, nobody called YOU a groomer. If you think I meant YOU were firing teachers because that's how I started the sentence, maybe English isn't your first language. "You" is kind of like saying "people shouldn't", or "If people are going to fire...". Otherwise something something doth protest too much.

fired for NOT using preferred identity:
apnews.com...
fired FOR using pronoun

Seems like since people can't play nice, there need to be laws. This literally wasn't an issue 40 years ago, so it can't be blamed on the way things were and those methods/values. The proof is in the pudding.

a reply to: Halfswede

But it did exist 40 years ago. The Internet was just not available like it is now. It is like all other information. Someone breaks a leg in an earthquake in China and the world knows. Back then, no one even knew if someone fell off a ladder in your own town. The availability, what is news and information has changes a lot in that 40 years.

Now you can look up where furcons are and instructions on making fursuits on your smart phone.

Just for information, only about 10 to 20% of furries do the costume thing, fursuiting. So it is a small percent of a tiny percent of the general population. This is consistent over all furcons by number in fursuits vs number attending. Others do art, computer games, music, board games, etc.. but no one is complaining about that part.
