A Texas bill, known as the FURRIES Act, would ban non-human behaviors in public schools, including the use of litter boxes and wearing animal accessories.

Rep. Stan Gerdes, the bill's author, claimed schools were providing litter boxes for students acting as "furries."

When pressed, Gerdes could not find an example. The bill was left pending in committee.

To be clear, cat litter buckets in classrooms is a real thing in some schools but only to use in active shooter lockdowns if needed. When a classroom of kids is trapped for hours, someone will need to poop, and they’re going to want to cover up it and not smell it the whole time. So unfortunately there’s a perfectly valid reason for kids to poop in litter buckets at schools that these conspiracists, who are probably the same nutjobs who think school shootings are fake, are twisting into furry accommodation.

Slight misinfo here.

I was not able to find anyone selling or providing kitty litter buckets for active shooter response kits. I think kitty litter would not be an idea lchoice because it relies on absorbing moisture, swelling, and covering the feces via the cat's natural scraping behavior.

However, their are a number of classroom lockdown kits that do include a 5 gallon bucket to shit in, and a deodorizer tablet/solution.

Yup.

And they'll do this dumbass shit before addressing gun violence or police who hang out scrolling on their phones during school shootings instead of stopping them, every single time.

I might know a select few bears that'd do more than that for free. Special discount, just for him. The woiks, I tell ya.

Or the dude is a zoophiliac

Need a new Texas bill banning Rep. Stan Gerdes from being 10 miles near any school because dude is a fucking creep.

Seconded. Does this mean we can put it up for a vote now?

In a few years, this guy will probably get picked up for human trafficking, CSAM, soliciting sex from minors or some other degenerate activity.

Anybody remember that shit stain from FL, Matt Gaetz?

In 2020, Gaetz was accused of child sex trafficking[a] and statutory rape. After an investigation, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) decided not to charge him. In December 2024, the House Ethics Committee released a report which found evidence that Gaetz paid for sex—including with a 17-year-old—and abused illegal drugs during his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives. The committee report did not find sufficient evidence that he had not engaged in sex trafficking as defined in federal law.[2]
