Texas Introduces F.U.R.R.I.E.S Act Bill, Bans ‘Non-Human Behavior’ for students
Yes you read that right, a real actual bill was introduced in the state of Texas, which bans “Non-Human Behavior” in Texas schools. It includes students behaving like animals such as making meowing noises, wearing tails, animal consumes and much more. Non-Human Behavior is defined within such bill.
The bill also intents to make it a form of a child abuse to encourage said behavior. This means that when a parent encourages a child to believe that it is socially acceptable to engage in such Non-Human Behavior for example, it would become a form of “abuse”.
SECTION 5. Subdivision 261.001(1), Family Code, is amended to
read as follows:(1) “Abuse” includes the following acts or omissions by a person:
(A) mental or emotional injury to a child that results in an observable and material impairment in the child’s growth, development, or psychological functioning, including, in an education setting, allowing or encouraging the child to develop a dependence on or a belief that non-human behaviors are societally acceptable;bold is emphasizing the change in text proposed by amendment
