    i remember when ‘fursecution’ was mostly a problematic/ironic concept used satirically to emphasize the actual oppression of racial and sexual minorities with the fact that furries weren’t super popular on certain internet spaces.

    but

    CW mention of incorrect conflations in conservative thought relating to sexual minorities

    obviously its not much more of a jump to assume that furries = zoophiles than it is to assume that gays = pedophiles or that trans = groomers

        My sister’s boyfriend told me that it was happening in Scotland, according to his uncle or something. That one lie has spread so far and nobody has bothered to check if it is false

        Anthropomorphic climate change would look something like this.

    Literal fursecution

    Also how many tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars were wasted on the labor and materials required for this bill to go through legislature I wonder

      For context, aren’t there parts of Oklahoma that had to institute a 4-day school week because they literally couldn’t afford to pay their teachers for 5 days of work per week? Which is only making their teacher drain worse, since a lot of teachers in Oklahoma move to Texas since the pay is much higher and Costs of Living are similar.

        Not quite. Teachers get paid the same, but they supposedly save money on transportation, heating/cooling, and support staff.

        Based on responses from a sample of 342 districts nationwide, the most common reason cited as a main rationale for adoption (65.1% of districts) was financial savings; districts argue they are saving money by reducing costs such as transportation, heating, and support staff salaries (Thompson et al., in press). Districts acknowledge that reducing the school week by 1 day, or 20%, would not reduce spending by 20%, as teachers technically work the same number of hours, so their contracts, which comprise the greatest cost for the district, are not affected.

        But the brain drain is completely real. Oklahoma pays teachers around $10-20k per year less than all of its bordering states on average. A first year teacher in Tulsa makes $43k per year. For comparison, in Dallas, a first year teacher at minimum makes $56,000. And Tulsa’s not that much cheaper to live in.

      Literally just 4chan the country.

      Eventually they’ll just admit that they want to make life as shitty as possible for people simply for the lulz. We’re overrun by 14 year olds that never left their Hoppean phase.

      There is almost no way they will remember to make this exception and there is almost no way at least some school administrators will throw out their beloved mascot costume for fear of violating this law
