<p>A group of children and adults staged an hours-long walkout at a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/utah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utah</a> middle school on Wednesday over an unusual issue — &#8220;furries.&#8221;</p>
<p>The protesters walked out of Mt. Nebo Middle School, which is about an hour south of Salt Lake City, claiming that students who dress as &#8220;furries&#8221; were being disruptive.</p>
<p>Furries are people who have an interest in animals with human qualities, <a href="https://www.webmd.com/sex/what-is-furry-sex" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to WebMD.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">What a time to be alive.</p>
<p>Yesterday, over 70 students walked out of Mt. Nebo School to protest the school for letting &quot;furries&quot; to bite, bark, &amp; lick them.</p>
<p>ABC even interviewed a &quot;member of the furry community&quot; (they/them) to give a comment about the situation: <a href="https://t.co/zIMjoy9U9b">pic.twitter.com/zIMjoy9U9b</a></p>

<p>In video of the protests shared to social media, students accuse the alleged &#8220;furries&#8221; at Mt. Nebo of biting, scratching, barking at, spraying air freshener on, and pouncing on other students.</p>
<p>Some students who walked out complained that the furries wore masks every day, according to a video of the protest shared to social media.</p>
<p>&#8220;They think they&#8217;re so cool,&#8221; one girl <a href="https://twitter.com/lifeisdriving/status/1780612860957360200?t=bUQt3iyNbuqAGJ8PGor2LQ&amp;s=19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t talk or say anything to the furries or even look at them, but they can come look at us and say stuff to us and touch us,&#8221; said another girl.</p>

<p>However, the school district&#8217;s public information officer, Seth Sorensen, <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2024/04/17/fact-check-nebo-school-district/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed</a> back on claims about students dressing up as animals. Students may wear headbands with ears, but they do not dress up in full-body animal costumes, he said.</p>
<p>“Today, we had some students and parents choose to exercise their right to assemble, and do a little protest for what they perceived was something that was happening in the school,” Sorensen <a href="https://www.abc4.com/news/wasatch-front/utah-student-furry-protest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> ABC4. “It actually is not something that’s been occurring.”</p>
<p>“Interestingly enough, they really didn’t address us with anything they wanted changed,” he said. &#8220;We want every student to feel safe when they come to school, and we want students to get along. In fact, we want adults to get along.&#8221;</p>
<p>He <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2024/04/17/fact-check-nebo-school-district/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> that the protest may have been the result of a miscommunication via an email from the school about an altercation between two groups of students.</p>
<p>The school also said it has worked with some students whose dress and appearance might be disruptive to the school environment.</p>
<p>At Wednesday&#8217;s protest, children held signs reading “Compelled speech is not free speech,” as well as “I will not comply,” and “We just wanted to learn.”</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.change.org/p/students-for-humans-at-school-not-animals-aka-furries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">petition</a> dubbed &#8220;Students for Humans at School, not animals aka furries&#8221; has garnered nearly 1,700 signatures so far. The petition asks the school to enforce a dress code, which the petitioners say prohibits students from presenting themselves in a way that disrupts the learning atmosphere or creates a welfare issue.</p>
<p>The online “furry” fandom often <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-law-forces-furry-convention-to-bar-children">has</a> sexual overtones, although some self-identified “furries” insist sex has nothing to do with their interest in the fandom.</p>
<p>A 2011 <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130308185939/https://sites.google.com/site/anthropomorphicresearch/past-results/international-online-furry-survey-2011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> of “furries” found that about a quarter of “furries” said they felt less than 100% human.</p>
