One-upping every conspiracy theory-prone uncle out there, Republican state Senator Bruce Bostelman used his time during a debate over a Nebraska school funding bill to rail against the real issue facing classrooms: furries.Except not the furries you’re likely now imagining piling into convention halls — adults exercising their anthropomorphic passions.“If you don’t know what furries are,” Bostelman began his floor speech, before giving perhaps the worst definition imaginable.“It’s where school children dress up as animals — cats or dogs — during the school day.
They ‘meow’ and they ‘bark,’ and they interact with the school and the teachers in this fashion,” he said.But it gets even worse, according to Bostelman.He continued: “And now schools are wanting to put litter boxes in the schools for these children to use.
How is this sanitary?!”A floor speech from Nebraska State Senator Bruce Bostelman that "is about something called furries."Just gonna leave this here: pic.twitter.com/drn6jUgCXf— Jon Kipper (@jonnykip21) March 28, 2022“I think it’s very disruptive in the school system,” Bostelman argued.
And he’d no doubt be right… if anything he said was even remotely based in reality.Oh, but theres more. “I even heard from one person recently who said that a student identified as a cat and wanted a litter box, and the school didn’t provide the litter box, so the student went ahead and defecated on the floor.
