furries no place in schools? (non-uniform schools)

my son is a furry, but he never wears a costume
i probably would have been like that in high school if it were around. but then i used to carry a toy gun, you could get away with it back then. i can see the point of saying that school is a place to learn, on the other hand, ppl DO make fashion statements at non uniform schools. like girls wearing things that expose a lot, isn't that awfully distracting? yet they usually get away with it.

 

eh
to tell you the truth, that whole furry thing kinda creeps me out..

 

Jigga what?

 

Just because the school doesn't have a uniform doesn't mean that there isn't a dress code. If it's against the dress code, then deal with it. My school is pretty hard on the dress code which I actually like because you don't see a ton of boobs and tummies and legs everywhere. It's reasonable and doesn't hinder individuality.

And yeah, Mischa, the furry thing really kind of creeps me out too. Not that I'd be judgemental about it, but I know that kids who dressed like that would get harrassed mercilessly. Fine on your own time, but keep it out of school.

 

After lookin' about the net and checkin out the alt.newsgroup stuff, I still have no problem with you furries. Rock on, right o , I don't care.

 

You'd be arrested in Toledo, no doubt.

"School officials say the punishment is used as a last resort. For example, a 14-year-old dress-code violator in Toledo's Washington Local Schools refused to put on a shirt over her belly-baring top, even after her mother showed up. When the girl copped an attitude with the school security officer who intervened, she ended up being charged with a misdemeanor and spent a few hours in the juvenile detention center."

 

What is wrong with boobs, tummies and legs? It is our culture that makes a big deal about them, from a purley logical standpoint how one is dressed is irrelevent yet man kind is illogical so therefore school is illogical. Schools teaches kids to be unaware of reality but enforcing the cultural doctrine there by making kids incapable of radical doubt thus they can't see the stupidity of man kind and hold a illusion that man is logical.

Anything that stops schools from teaching cultural doctrine helps in preventing school froming dumbing down students.

Yet those kids are unenlighted and don't hold a awarness of reality.

 

Wow, alot of you people are being dicks. Calling him/her(sorry, didn't take the time to look at what your gender was) a freak and the such. I'm sure some of you do things that people would refer to you as freaks for doing, but if they did you'd probably get extremely uptight and bitchy.

 

She dresses up like a fox, how is that not weird?

 

It is only illogical based on cultural doctrine. If a alien saw her dressed up like a fox it might ask why but it would not find it illogical, infact the debate of if dressing like a fox is logical or not it self is illogical as it is completly trivial.

 

You aren't overly intelligent and agruing about whether or not somethign is logical based on cultural standards is stupid. Culture is what defines mankind and what is or isn't normal by cultural standards is an important aspect of society.

 

Your mind is still chained to false truism.

Only by shedding pre-conceived notions can we acheive the clarity of undistorted knowledge. Everything must must be questioned at a intellectual level free from from cultural and spirtual doctrine as they are corrupted by the illogical nature of man.

 

The Nature of Man is what gives us culture. You can pursue enlightnment in vain all you want, you won't find it. Undistorted Knowledge is an oxymoron. It's impossible for your veiws of something to not distort the information about it.

 

Enlightment is not only possible it has been done, just because you can't tell the difference between what you wish to be true and what evidence shows to be likely and possible doesn't mean those with intellect can't

 

hahhahah i know youre talking about enlightenment now and all, but thats a good argument for not dressing up like a furry woodland creature. and be careful with the belief that enlightenment has been done thinking. thats the first step in the 12 step program for slavery.

 

A never said that it was logical just that it was not illogical as the issue is trivial and only safty issues remain once you shed cultural doctrine from the dialectectic. From a purly logical standpoint, what signigance does outward apperance have when it comes to school? If a students comes to school nude during a hot summers day, besides a conceren for safty the lack of clothing shouldn't logically be a issue.

Well enlightenment in that others have been able to shed pre-conceived notions and acheive the clarity of undistorted knowledge (of course said knowledge is limmited as it is impossible to know everything undistored or not)

Two things. First, that makes it seem like it's one's own fault that they are being bullied, which is total bullshit. One should not have to censor themselves in any way because they're afraid of being beaten up at school (or anywhere).

Second, it doesn't matter if you all dress the same (uniforms), bully types always find somehting to pick on you for. You walk different, you talk different, you're good at math, you're bad at math, whatever. We should stop imposing useless rules on our kids at school (and anyone anywhere). Clearly such rules won't stop bullying, so why do we insist they be enforced?

Also, school is more than a place of book learning, especially middle school and high school. You're learning socially too, which is important. I think that trying to squelch individuality and uniqueness just teaches kids to expect uniformity, and they don't deal well with differing opinions because of that.

 

Agreed. When I was in high school we had no uniforms and, as far as I remember, no dress code -some kids wore pretty strange clothes, no fox tails but stuff like brightly colored mohawks etc... and somehow they were not the ones who were bullied. I -wearing normal clothes, and that was many years before I started to go barefoot, too- was. People in schools with uniforms are bullied. If anyone wants to go to school wearing fox ears, that's fine with me. Chances are she's got her own circle of friends and they may think she's even more cool for it, as seemed to be the case with those who wore an even higher & even brighter colored mohawk back then in my highschool... and if too many people laugh at her, well, she can take them off, right? Loadsa stuff happens, she'll be laughed at for a few days and then someone else will do something funny or silly or weird and they'll move on... And schools should not be about teaching us conformity, schools are meant to teach us many things but not that... there are many careers where conformity is not required and those of us who chose them should be able to do so, even in school.
