  1. I have not finished the video: i am a bit split on this though. I see that it needs to beca dress code thing. I also see if its popular enough school wide though. Kind of an opportunity. I mean if there is a freak ton of kids in the school that are into the furry fandom. You can tie a party type event to a grade average. In fact make it two. One for the furries(if there is that many of them school wide) and one for the other groups. In a weird way you can use this as a kind of incentive. When ai was a kid the did something like this. It wasn’t a party. It was a slide filled with wipe cream or something the principal(male) would as supposed to slide down if we got a certain grade average altogether.

  2. It didn’t sound to me like they wear costumes. I don’t know what is happening there, but I am torn on this one. If the kids are playing this way between classes and on breaks, not chasing, touching, licking or biting other students, then I don’t have a problem with it. However, during classes, they should be serious. To me, though, it sounds like the walkout students are the bullies. I wish I knew more about this situation.

    My son is on the autism spectrum, but in regular classes. Middle school has been torture for him. The kids say things quietly that they know will get a reaction from my son. My son will overreact with a loud voice, and then he gets in trouble because the teachers don’t hear the kids saying things and only hear my son’s overreaction. Then he will try to tell the teacher what actually happened, and they will cut him off and not even let him explain. It’s heartbreaking for me to watch! And believe me, I try to explain that if he doesn’t overreact then it will stop because they are not getting the reaction that they all think is funny, but he just can’t seem to be able to do that.

  3. Liberals have made it where any conclusion that someone has about objective reality or decision they've made is given equal respect and credibility. Identifying as animal is not a legitimate conclusion. You wanna be crazy, fine, leave others out of it.

  4. Back when I was in the fandom, touching anyone without permission was NOT TOLERATED in the conventions. Public school has become more insane than a furry convention. Consider how far the country has fallen.

  5. I was in the furry fandom back when they knew enough to keep fantasy and reality separate. I pretty much quit the fandom in 2012 as I saw the TRUE lunatics taking over everything. Went to one more convention in 2016 because a guest of honor was one of the best comic artists the fandom ever had… and it was just unpleasant. After that, I was done.

  6. School is for humans and cosplay for leisure time. Are they applaying for the job of a mascot in sport-clubs or a fun-park?
    Biting "animals" should present all the needed vaccinations for pets: rabies still valid?😅

  7. Seems more than a tad sus that nobody's posted any video or photographic evidence of these furry students to social media, especially since they're allegedly wearing actual fursuits and using litter boxes. Seems more than a tad sus that schools that I assume would have dress codes of some kind are supposedly allowing fursuits. Seems more than a tad sus that nobody has leaked the names of these alleged wooly bullies.

    It also strikes me as more than a tad sus that "furry worries" over the past five-or-so years have overwhelmingly sprung up in rural and/or conservative communities, which you'd tend to think aren't the most comfortable places for a community that's overwhelmingly LGBTQ and neurodivergent.

    Smells like this is a case of kids taking advantage of their parents' fear, credulity, and bigotry to get out of class, and maybe scapegoat a couple of the "weird" kids at school as a bonus.

  8. As a furry myself, I say that most furries don't act like the children in this story.

    But, I agree with what the other fursuiter said, there is a time and place to enjoy what you like, schools are not the right place to do such things. Even I myself learned when I was in school when it was appropriate to do or not to do (this was before I joined the furry fandom) but the principle's the same. Those few students are basically like that to 'push the envelope' or to get a reaction in which they should be punished not a very light slap on the wrist.

  9. I call bull 💩! My 6yr old can't bring her teddy bear because of distractions. You're trying to tell me there's a school that lets them dress up as bears? NOPE they need to show me or cut it out. Far right need to stop fear mongering!
