Oklahoma Bill Proposes Ban on 'Furries' in Schools

Parents or Animal Control Would Be Required to Remove Students in Violation of the Rule

Republican Rep. Justin Humphrey has proposed a bill in Oklahoma that would ban students who dress as furries from attending school or school activities.
If passed, the bill would require parents to pick up their costumed children or authorize animal control to remove the student.
The bill, HB3084, is set to go into effect on Nov. 1 if passed.
The furry community originated in the 1980s and is a subculture devoted to art, writing, or costumes depicting anthropomorphic animals.
Similar concerns about 'furry' attire have been raised in other states, including Florida.
