Re: Planet America

The middle school situation should be in textbooks of how not to handle public relations. Some of the allegations were true. Some were not, or are at best unconfirmed. We can confirm that there were masks. There was barking. The photos and videos have been corroborated. Kids did complain about the a...

Re: Planet America

When some 10 year old says to Mommy and Daddy that he's really a Honey Badger, look the fuck out! :) Otherwise, make these feral little shitheads stick to a dress code or kick them out of school. There now, stupid fucking problem solved. As best I can tell, that's basically what they did. It just t...

Re: Planet America

ETA: One possibility I've considered is that this was, or turned into, basically an elaborate troll operation. Wear furry stuff because it really pisses off the right wing, and watch them go bonkers. Hilarity ensues. If it weren't high school kids, I could see it. But IMO teenagers don't generally ...

Re: Planet America

It's a case of bullying getting out of hand, Maybe. But if so, it got way, way, out of hand. That can happen, so I'm not saying you're wrong. I just don't have a high degree of confidence in any explanation at the moment. ETA: One possibility I've considered is that this was, or turned into, basica...

Re: Planet America

The idea that kids are engaging in full antho roleplay at school is utterly ludicrous. You would think. But I've seen some more pictures. Of course, it's the internet, so there's no guarantee they weren't photoshopped, or they might not even be from that school. I listened to a bit more of that hou...

Re: Planet America

I found more "furry" video from that school. https://kezj.com/furries-dress-code-protest-utah/ It's from the protest and it's over an hour long. I have only listened to a few minutes of it, in bits and pieces. I can't make sense out of it. As I said in earlier posts, I thought I had, but s...

Re: Planet America

My school still used the cane. That's how old I am. Here in America, there are still places where paddles are used. I thought for sure they would die out completely after "50 Shades of Grey" was so popular. I look back at my own experience in early grades, and while paddles were employed ...

Re: Planet America

Looks pretty legit, and the Fail is occasionally right. Kelsey James, a spokesperson for the Utah State Board of Education, said that a small group of students had been wearing headbands with animal ears, prompting other pupils to throw food at them, according to KSL.com. I'd say the timeline goes ...

If you can't trust The Daily Mail, who can you trust: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13328017/utah-school-bomb-threat-furries-mt-nebo-student-protest.html And yes, it is the most complete, and I believe accurate story I have seen on the subject. (Maybe I just like it because it affirms the...

Re: Planet America

That idea is a couple of years old at least, and yeah it's absolute bullshit. There's a new wrinkle this time, though. Over the last couple of years, there were incidents where someone said at a school board meeing, "What next? People identifying as cats?" or, "I heard that there's a...
