Schools have to maintain a certain level of order and conformity to function as intended. Courts have already ruled as much. You can't engage in behavior which would prevent the system from working as intended e.g. walk around topless, yell profanities, play loud music, etc - things which you can obviously do in other public spaces. Wearing full body animal costumes or barking randomly, claiming its your identity, is just as ridiculous and just as disorderly.
With that said, schools probably already had the tools they needed to stop this, so I'm not sure why a law was needed. Unless there was actually some furry zealot fighting against a school board.
Courts, are an illegitimate instrument of power their decisions irrelevant, their ruling moot. This contentible organization will be dismantled along with the rest of the establishment.
I just had a read through the bill and, as written, it would prohibit elementary school children from playing pretend as animals on the school playground during recess. Obviously, if a student were using that as pretext to, like, bite someone, you'd want a supervisor stepping in, but to straight-up ban harmless elements of play-pretend like this is frankly asinine.
As long as it does not infringe on the rights of school shooters I don't think there's any limits on how much students can be oppressed in school.
yeah ok but like schools can make policy. If someone is doing something thats an issue there's a dean for a reason.
Also, I don't think a headband with ears is really the biggest issue of our times right now. This is entirely useless and just for control. Same with banning books, there's already systems in place. Globally banning things -that AREN'T an issue- does not help anybody at all.
This is ONLY for erasure of demographics and control over the people. Starts with furries, then men in skirts, then anything queer at all.
So, enforcing uniformity?
To the degree necessary for education, absolutely.
