Parents & students concerned over teen furries taking over Kentucky school

[BUtterfield 8 41,818]

According to Kentucky NBC affiliate WLWT, parents and students alike are concerned about a group of high school students in the Meade County School district “attending school acting like and dressing as cats.” One woman who spoke to the outlet, the grandmother of two children who attend the high school, said the trend began last year, but seemed to become more popular when students returned to classes in August.

“Apparently, from what I understand, they’re called ‘furries,’” the grandmother, who asked to remain anonymous, told WLKY. “They identify with animals. These people will hiss at you or scratch at you if they don’t like something you’re doing.”

She said it’s not a new problem.

“I was hearing rumblings of this last year, but it really got bad when they went back to school this year. I have two grandkids in school and my grandkids didn’t want to go to school anymore,” she said.

She said the issue gained attention on social media once people started sharing photos and videos of the feline costumes and behavior, “I started getting videos and messages from kids, and I said, ‘Ok, I’m going to post this so parents know what’s going on.’”

“The students are told they can’t wear hats or Budweiser shirts in school, but they can wear cat ears, cat tails, masks, leashes. It doesn’t make sense,” she added.

Last week, someone identifying themselves only as an “MCHS student” started Change.org petition that has so far garnered almost 1,000 signatures, calling out Meade County School District for hypocrisy: They’re demanding that the district nix their dress code policy against wearing hats if students are allowed to wear animal ears, tails, and leashes. While the district’s superintendent assured WLWT that this furry gear is, in fact, a dress code violation, that hasn’t seemed to ease the worries of the anonymous student who started the petition. The student claims these “furries”—their classmates—are “growling, hissing, or even scratching and biting at other people.”

It's weird, but cat ears are not the same as a hat. One obstructs your facial features and the other does not. I think as long as they take the ears off during instruction and stop scratching I don't really see the issue. Why are people trying so hard to control what others do?

I think the bigger concern here is how they are acting than the costume itself even if the costume is a part of it

 

I think this goes a little beyond just controlling what others do

I do think the bigger concern is the behavior but the article at least seems to focus more on dress code, which is sad.

I agree if the main issue ppl get at is just the ears i kinda think whatever. Its not harming anyone

 

But the stuff about the behaviour, identifying as animals and scratching if they dont like what u do... if thats being told accurately id definitely find it concerning

I think this is very funny

However, don't they sweat in summer?

i mean i agree with the sentiment about the hats. if you can wearing car ears and tails etc why can’t you wear hats?
