So, there was apparently a walkout in a school located in Utah, allegedly regarding "furries". As people might know... well, the less you know the better.

Now I know what you are thinking... this is a school. WTF is going on?article said:Several students and adults participated in an hours-long walkout from Utah’s Mt. Nebo Middle School on Wednesday.
The reason for the protest? Furries.
You BS meter is going off too, isn't it.article said:The students said there are attacks from the furries every day, but were unsure of how many furries there actually are at the school, shouting out numbers ranging from five to 100 students who identify as such.
The school’s “furry” population is accused of biting, scratching, spraying air freshener on, barking at and chasing other students.
“We’re standing up for what we believe is right,” a student said.

So yeah... I think the water needs to be analyzed in this town.article said:However, Nebo County District spokesperson Seth Sorenson pushed back on the claims, saying no students are coming to school dressed in full-body animal costumes, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
A group of students who came to school wearing headbands “that may have ears on them” were allegedly targeted by other students, Sorenson told families in a message sent last week before the protest. He said that the students allegedly targeted did not describe themselves as “furries,” The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
“These are pretty young kids,” Sorenson said. “You’ll have students that show up with headbands and giant bows; you’ll have students that show up dressed as their favorite basketball player, or baseball player. That’s just what kids this age do.”
