wtf? is there any evidence of actual furry children in schools? is this a joke? that would be a dress code violation.
Iowa is the 7th best state? I’ve never been there but struggling to come up with any reason to do so.
Its a hoax perpetrated on idiot white moms. Its just more “we hate trans people” bullshit

If it passes, every kid should say they’re a furry.

there was a chain boomer facebook meme that used to go around about how someone’s friends husband was a principal and a kid at the school requested a litterbox because he identified as a cat and the school had to put a litter box in the classroom for fear of the liberal trans police. and literally they all believed it and incorporated it into their own mythos. My godmother repeated it back to me word for word one time as if she knew the person friends cousins husband…

There was even an irony piece in that, yes, kitty litter was in classrooms for a bit, but that was so kids had an emergency toilet when they were locked in their rooms because their school was getting shot up. I’m sure that didn’t solidify the rest of the world’s views that we’re the dumbest country on the planet:
The only known official instance of cat litter being placed in school classrooms for potential use by students was in the late 2010s by the Jefferson County Public School District in Colorado, where the 1999 Columbine High School massacre took place. Some teachers were given “go buckets” that contained cat litter to be used as a toilet in an emergency lockdown situation, such as during a school shooting.

Same, but my mother in law. I think it was repeated to her the same way by one of her friends, so she swears her friend isnt lying. I dont really know I wasnt really listening.

OK so it turns out that MAGAs in Oklahoma were feeling left out of the conversation and it’s a competition to figure out who can get articles written about them by proposing batshit stuff.
Humphrey apologized but then doubled down.
He said: “I apologize for using the word Hispanic, but I was not wrong. Again, these are Hispanic. Reality is they are Hispanic. There’s nothing to be ashamed with.”

The Republican state representative JJ Humphrey introduced the bill, [HB 3133] which seeks to combat problems in the state, such as drug and human trafficking, and lay out punishments to those who have committed these “acts of terrorism”.
The punishment for such a crime would be forfeiting all assets, including any and all property, vehicles and money.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.[3]

That’s a hell of a non-apology.
We have moved way past the days of I am sorry if I offended you—that was not my intent.

Humphrey said he will go back to the bill and amend the language from “Hispanic” to “undocumented here illegally, or something like that”.
Oh ok, sure.
This whole bill and this guy’s comments sound like they come from some deeply confused MAGA nutjob in a Jordan Klepper interview.

Well, I guess I won’t be waiting out the next Trump presidency in Oklahoma.
The American Socialized Military seems to be losing its white folks.

According to Dahm’s Senate Bill 1837, called the Common Sense Freedom of Press Control Act, “any media outlet that includes opinions at any time in its print, broadcast, or other means of distribution shall do each of the following before any articles, stories, opinions, news, videos, or other media are distributed to the public:”
- Complete a criminal background check.
- Receive a license from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which regulates public utilities in the state.
- “[C]omplete a propaganda-free safety training course of no less than eight (8) hours as prescribed by the State Department of Education, which shall be developed in coordination with PragerU,” which is a right-wing advocacy group known for distorting U.S. history and promoting climate change denial.
- Have liability insurance of at least $1,000,000.
