GOP Bill Would Stop ‘Furries’ From Invading Texas Classrooms
The Center Square.The bill directs school boards to enact penalties for students who act in such a manner, including suspension or expulsion.Additionally, the measure allows the Texas Attorney General to impose a fine of $10,000 for a first offense — and $25,000 for subsequent offenses — if teachers and administrators fail to stop students from behaving like animals.Gerdes’ measure would also amend the Texas Family Code to redefine mental or emotional injury to a child as including “allowing or encouraging the child to develop a dependence on or belief that non-human behaviors are societally acceptable.”Under the code, allowing such behavior would be considered tantamount to subjecting a child to harm, including sexual abuse, human trafficking, prostitution, child pornography, child marriage, and use of controlled substances.Gerdes filed the bill in response to feedback from constituents, and a furry-related incident that allegedly occurred at the Smithville Independent School District.He did not elaborate on what the incident entailed or when it occurred — although he claimed that the superintendent confirmed the incident had taken place — and no known news reports in recent years have covered any such alleged incident.Gerdes’ obsession with furries relies on a common right-wing trope that has been repeated by Republicans who have sought political office.

Texas A&M University Bans Drag On All 11 Campuses
resolution states that the Board of Regents finds that “it is inconsistent” with the university’s core values, including respect for others, to allow special event venues on the university’s campuses to host drag shows “that involve biological males dressing in women’s clothing, wearing exaggerated female make up and/or exaggerated prosthetics meant to parody the female body type, and that are: open to the public; involve sexualized, vulgar or lewd conduct; and involve conduct that demeans women.”The resolution claims that drag shows are likely to “create or contribute to a hostile environment for women” in violation of Title IX’s prohibitions on sex-based discrimination and involve “the mockery or objectification of women.”The resolution cites President Donald Trump’s executive order recognizing only two sexes, based on biology, which prohibits federal funds from being used to “promote gender ideology,” and a directive from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordering state agencies to comply with Trump’s order.It also asserts that allowing drag shows to take place on university campuses violates that order.The resolution, adopted unanimously by the board, will likely spark a First Amendment fight over whether the ban on drag shows infringes on students’ free speech and freedom of expression.Historically, Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi and East Texas A&M University have hosted drag shows, with the university’s main College Station campus hosting “Draggieland,” an award-winning drag event that has been held annually.By passing the resolution, this year’s Draggieland event, initially scheduled for March 27 at the Rudder Theatre in College Station, is now imperiled.

9 Governors Want the NCAA to Ban Trans Athletes
letter demanding that the NCAA ban transgender female athletes from competing in women’s sports.The letter’s signatories are Governors Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas, Tate Reeves of Mississippi, Mike Parson of Missouri, Greg Gianforte of Montana, Joe Lombardo of Nevada, Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Greg Abbott of Texas, and Mark Gordon of Wyoming.All except Lombardo — who is saddled with a Democratic-led state legislature — represent states that have passed laws banning transgender participation on female-designated sports teams.The governors decry the NCAA’s current policy on transgender athletes, which allows the individual national governing body of each sport to determine criteria for eligibility.Some of those sporting bodies, including track and field and swimming, have barred transgender competitors from female events.Both bodies have also suggested holding a third “open” category in which transgender swimmers could compete at the elite or post-collegiate levels.“The NCAA has the chance to guarantee an environment where female college athletes can thrive without the concern of inequities,” the letter reads. “We trust that you also want to guarantee just such an environment.
