A school district has had to reject bizarre claims from a Republican candidate that students are identifying as “furries” in schools across Colorado.
Heidi Ganahl, the Republican candidate for governor of Colorado, alleged during an interview on Jimmy Sengenberger’s KNUS show that students in public schools are self-identifying as animals.
Ganahl claimed schools are “tolerating” these students, who she referred to as “furries”, and that educational facilities should “stop it”.
“Not many people know that we have furries in Colorado schools,” she said before asking if Sengenberger had “heard about this story”.
She continued: “Yeah, kids identifying as cats. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it’s happening all over Colorado and schools are tolerating it.
“It’s insane. What on earth are we doing? Knock it off, schools. Put your foot down.
“Like, stop it. Let’s get back to teaching basics and not allow this woke ideology, ideological stuff, infiltrate our schools. And it is happening here in Colorado.”
She alleged that she moved from Boulder Valley to Douglas Country four years ago to escape the furries in her “kids’ schools”.
Ganahl doubled down on her comments in an interview with KRDOwhere she claimed it is a “really weird phenomenon that’s happening in middle schools and high schools”.
She claimed there were “many” examples of kids identifying as cats in Colorado and said there are “parents” across the “Denver metro area” sharing these stories.
