I thought this was satire—it’s not. A school in Utah is
coming under fire for allowing “furries” to infiltrate their campus,
reportedly licking and biting students. What the fresh hell is this
nonsense? Over 70 students walked out Mt. Nebo Middle School over these
shenanigans, with even some members of this bizarre subculture admitting
that their activities should not be done during school hours (via Fox News):
Utah's Nebo School District is pushing back on
allegations from students about "furries" – people who identify as
animals – in their middle school, with some rumors of animal-like
"licking" and "biting."
About 75 parents and students at Mt. Nebo
Middle School protested "furries" Wednesday, chanting during a walkout,
"We the people, not the animals," "Compelled speech is not free
speech," "Stop brainwashing us!"
At the same time, a petition
circulated calling out the "furries." The petition, "Students for Humans
at School, not animals aka furries," as of Thursday had over 1,800
signatures.

The district sent out an email to parents in response to the protest.
"We
expect ALL students to be respectful towards each other while we are
here at school. We hope you will treat others how you would like to be
treated. Outstanding behavior might demonstrate curiosity,
understanding, patience and tolerance," the district said. "One of our
goals is to ensure that you are able to come to school, each day to
learn the academic curriculum and appropriate citizenship. As
responsible citizens, we hope you will look out for each other, take
care of each other and treat each other with kindness."
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the district called the allegations "misinformation that had been circulated online."
"We
want to assure you that rumors circulating online about student
behavior are completely untrue," the district said. "These are 11 and
12-year-old students, and while sometimes these children may come to
school with a headband that has ears, sometimes with giant bows, and
sometimes dressed as their favorite athlete, there have been no students
attending school wearing masks, animal costumes, or acting like
animals."
Local news interviewed “Strudel” who tried to make a sensible point
about this controversy, but the costume—I can’t take it seriously:
What a time to be alive.
Yesterday,
over 70 students walked out of Mt. Nebo School to protest the school
for letting "furries" to bite, bark, & lick them.
ABC even interviewed a "member of the furry community" (they/them) to give a comment about the situation: pic.twitter.com/zIMjoy9U9b
Furries in schools—allegedly. Please pass the hemlock.
