There continue to be tales of students identifying as cats with, well, tails and all. The Iowa Standard has heard from a handful of parents across the state concerned about students identifying as “furries” at various schools throughout the state. 
We have also talked with students from multiple districts who confirm this is actually a real thing. And here is a person telling a story about the situation:
“We were at a tailgate and one of our friends that teaches said that they’re having a problem at our school because there are students that are identifying as cats,” she said. “And not only are they wearing ears, whiskers and meowing in class, they are demanding that there be litter boxes placed in the bathrooms. They’re demanding it so much that the parents are threatening to sue the school if they do not place litter boxes in the bathrooms. 
“This isn’t Seattle, LA or Portland — this is Iowa folks. You know when this (stuff) stops? Is when we say, ‘nope, stop.'”
If you’re curious, we’ve written about this before.

  1. If a student who identifies as a coyote tries to kill and eat a student who identifies as a cat, is the teacher allowed to interfere?

  2. “Imagine being such a tone deaf journalist that you miss the whole point that this is about transphobia and mocking trans people.”

    WTF cares. Nothing wrong with being “Transphobic” . Im entitled not to accept mental illness as a real thing. God, not everything that hurts people’s “feelings” is wrong. Being too OPC is retarded

  3. No. You’re missing the point. This isn’t about mocking transgender people. This is saying that kids who; Identify as cats, meow in class, and demand litter-boxes in the bathrooms, aren’t normal. Stop pretending that everything you hear is an attack of some sort.

  4. This is about stupidity not transphobia. Urinating and dedication in a litter box, for others to clean up is unsanitary and quite frankly disgusting. Go to the bathroom in a toilet and flush.

  5. This is about stupidity not transphobia. Urinating and defication in a litter box, for others to clean up is unsanitary and quite frankly disgusting. Go to the bathroom in a toilet and flush.
