However, a message circulated by the administration to promote respect and tolerance was wildly misinterpreted. The school’s intent to foster “Outstanding behavior might demonstrate curiosity, understanding, patience and tolerance,” as Sorenson conveyed, was lost amid social media speculation and sensationalism. A Change.org petition titled “Students for Humans at School, not animals aka furries,” demanding the school ban furry costumes, gained traction despite the district’s clarification that no such costumes were worn or allowed at the school.
Conservative social media personalities and local political figures stoked the flames. For instance, Adam Bartholomew, a radio host whose wife is running for a seat on the Utah State Board of Education, attended the student protest, capturing footage of students voicing their concerns about purported furry behavior.

Well, I’d recognize that awful carpet anywhere...

Is that from the remake of the remake of Snow White? Looks very diverse.
In my day, we’d be saving up for a really cool bicycle or our first car...
Back around 1990, we had a big utility meeting with about 400 utility executives at a major downtown San Jose, CA hotel. The “FurCon” was going on at the same time. We all had to walk by a furry crowd such as you show in that photo. It was the most bizarre thing ever. Everybody got a big laugh out of it.
This response sounds like more CYA BS. The story on Twitter was convincing. This stuff sounds like a Joe Biden presser.
