Safer Schools Initiative says teachers and parents must welcome furries with no reservations
American Thinker ^ | 2 Jul, 2023 | Eric Utter

The government-backed group, once tasked with dealing with such things as school shootings and kidnappings, has now, thankfully, pivoted to addressing the existential problem of furry ridicule.

The Safer Schools Initiative, a government-backed organization, recently warned teachers and parents not to ridicule or overreact to schoolkids who identify as “Furries” – defined as “a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online.” Those who identify and dress up as an animal deserve our respect, says SSI. Students who adopt “fursonas,” or personalized animal characters-- and who don fur suits or furry costumes-- need to “feel comfortable expressing themselves,” or so says the respected safe-guarding body.

The group, once tasked with dealing with such things as school shootings and kidnappings, has now, thankfully, pivoted to addressing the existential problem of furry ridicule. Its website offers important tips on dealing with the growing numbers of Furries and suggests that one should always approach the child’s interest with “no judg­ment” and limitless “understanding.” The tips include such gems as, “If a child or young person in your care begins to show an interest in joining any community, be it online or off, how you approach and handle any related conversations is crucial.” And, “It is important to build a safe environment for them based on trust, where they feel comfortable expressing themselves to you.”

Indeed! If a student shows up in a classroom dressed as, say, a squirrel, the teacher should welcome and embrace the wannabe rodent.

School choice and vouchers would put an end to this nonsense. The Left itself is delusional so it is only natural that they avidly embrace schizophrenics. Decent, rational people should not be forced to pay taxes to underwrite lunacy and what’s worse be subjected to the crazed Left wielding power.

Pedos and pervs targeted children by using cute cartoons figures. It’s in the video games such as Roblox and others where kids can create avatars with different costumes and personalities.

What about the disruption to other students?
What about the learning environment?
Learning?!

We went from “Don’t be ridiculous, nobody is supporting litter boxes in school restrooms” to “Support the Furries!” in less than a year.

“I am old enough to remember when keeping your kids safe meant keeping pedophiles away.”

If I recall, the “person” Obama appointed as the “safe schools Tzar” was a pedophile. His stated job was to make schools “safe*” for people of alternate lifestyles.

* Safe apparently meant forcing everyone to accept those of alternate lifestyles, learn about the alternate lifestyles and to take training in alternate lifestyles. There was no opting out as that wasn’t “safe.”

Bullcrap! School is NOT the place to act like an idiot.

Next up...mandatory kibble in school lunchrooms and taxpayer funded cages, leashes and obedience training in order to be in compliance with state and county laws and local ordinances regarding humane treatment of animals and wildlife. (Sarc?)

The government is quickly coming to the conclusion that they decide what ALL of us must believe, not just what they’ll indoctrinate your kids with.

Leftists. smh.

The document also recommends that teachers “continually affirm the student’s self-identity” because “doing otherwise could cause stress and emotional harm.” I mean, if a boy claims to be a girl—or a chipmunk—then she is a girl…or a chipmunk. How could anyone claim otherwise?


from the article. How could anyone claim otherwise?

Weirdly I’d rather deal with the kids in costume than the radical trans kids and parents. At least it is not permanent.

Reagan’s it them all down. At the time he probably thought too much abuse. But he didn’t have the foresight.

Sure. Add to your “fursona” a MAGA hat and t-shirt and see how long THAT lasts.

You miss the point in thinking it is about kids in costume. They need a litter box.

And this perversion IS permanent.
