@chrisstoecker Ich bin über die 2011 gestolpert, als ich auf Google+ anfing, und sortierte sie erst in den Kreis „komische Seiten“ ein, also zusammen mit The Onion, Tagespresse, Postillon und so, weil die absurdes Zeugs berichtet haben. Ich habe dann aber schnell gemerkt, dass das gar keine Satire war, sondern US-Realität.

Das gilt natürlich auch für diesen Fall hier, der fällt auch unter #nottheonion. Absurd, aber real.

Gov. Greg Abbott backs bill banning 'non-human' behavior in schools https://www.kut.org/politics/2025-03-14/furries-texas-school-choice-vouchers

The Forbidden Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education, or F.U.R.R.I.E.S. Act, would codify rules against students barking, hissing, licking or meowing in schools. The “non-human behavior” cited in the bill would also ban students from wearing tails, leashes or fur, unless it’s Halloween or another approved holiday where costumes are expected.

Students sit around tables in a classroom.

A suggestion to any company or organization (especially media that isn’t The Onion) consider strongly scrapping any plans for April 1 hoaxes this year. Reality is almost certainly going to pass you by.

If you are The Onion - consider running an entire day of nothing but deeply fact checked entirely accurate stories about real actual news (you could fill a paper with just 2025 stories) with absolutely nothing that is an April 1 joke or hoax.

Publish it as #nottheonion
