    I'm out of the loop, are many children wearing fursuits to school these days? In Oklahoma?

      I suspect it will be a higher number after this.

      But since it was never an actual problem, doing something about it was never the point of a bill like this either.

      No. But this might result in an officer involved incident in which a kid wearing cat ears to class gets ventilated with extreme prejudice.

      some schools were putting cat litter in classrooms in case kids had to piss during an active shooter situation and somebody told republicans about furries

          Me. So called active shooter situations are often without active shooters, take hours and it is ableism to ignore the divinity and bodily functions of us people, who rather piss only people and ourselves in consensual settings. In any case schools don't really care about facilitating good urination experiences.

            The problem isn't pissing on (actual) active shooter situations then, it's having these situations for no reason. If they're drills, then you should be able to excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. I can't think of any other reason a school would specifically go to "active shooter situation" for hours without an actual shooter.

            Whatever it is, if it's a real risk then it's still better to wet yourself than risk your life to go to the litter box. If it's not then the protocol needs working on: why is it taking so long? why can't you go to the bathroom when there's no danger?

              It wasn't tho
