Middle school students walked out of a Nebo School District school in Payson, Utah, to protest the school staff’s support for a clique of “furries” — kids who pretend to be animals.
“They’re always just wearing a mask, but the principle finally stood up and banned those — but they still wear them every day, and they don’t get in trouble,” a student told reporters outside the school on Wednesday, according to video footage posted to social media.
