So this is a law that bans something that has basically never happened? And obviously it's going to be abused and kids are going to get arrested for wearing headphones with cat ears or any other garment that could be construed as animal dress up?

Fear and propaganda. The life blood of their party is in pushing the great fear of the big scary thing as a target to push through their rules to make the people safe...
It's nazis just before the camps go up and the Jews get put in train cars.
truncation away from texas own actual problems.
Ban kids from playing pretend? This is gonna go swimmingly.
The youth are famously reasonable about complying with stupid rules. (This is sarcasm.)

For those that don't know what swimmingly is
Is it an unisual word? I thought it was common, but maybe it's a local thing
No, not an unusual word. I've heard The Youth(tm) have a different vocabulary though, so it might be an age thing?
Could be. I heard it a lot from my parents who were born in the 1940s.
I’ve heard the term plenty as someone nearing their 30s. Never used it myself though
The law defines “non-human” behavior as “any type of behavior or accessory displayed by a student in a school district other than behaviors or accessories typically displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,”
Acting like animals is something humans do, just saying...
This is so vague it could mean any behavour. God, I hate facists.

Banning 4 year old girls from wearing a headband with kitten ears. Good work.
They are obsessed with these things. I wonder why? Repressed desires, I say.
The problem is, this can affect kids following (do I even need to specify it) harmless trends like plushy overalls or hairbands with ears.
So, they are also obsessed with dominating kids and putting their fingers where they don't belong.
Reminds me of this 43 year old song:
Laß doch die Kleinen in Ruh
Laß doch die Kleinen in Ruh
du kuinierst mich so
du alte Sau
"Small government" my ass
Oh, they’ll go there next, don’t you worry…
Laß doch die Kleinen in Ruh
Laß doch die Kleinen in Ruh
du kuinierst mich so
du alte Sau
kuinieren Aus französisch coionner. Hier in der Bedeutung von quälen, plagen, misshandeln.
So basically,
"Leave the little kids alone. Leave the little kids alone. You torment me so much, you old pig."
oh man. I knew so many little kids that would have a spontaneous im an X day. This is so wierd. So its. First they came for the trans, then they came for minorities, then they came for the women, and then the furries
Imagine being the lawyer who gets to defend our First Amendment right to fucking meow in front of the Supreme Court
Licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance
Whew, so you'd still be able to lick people for other reasons.
Literally banning children's imaginations.
What happens if you have tourettes
Ah yes, doing the important work. A lot less options with halloween though. Is Spiderman or Batman still ok, or too much animal reference? And what about cops, they all look like pigs. Are they going to arrest their colleagues every morning when they arrive at work?
Halloween actually got a specific exclusion.
Nice. Halloween is going to be a massive furry swarm for sure.
A personal or outward display, except during a school play or by a school mascot, through surgical or superficial means of features that are non-human such as using tails, leashes, collars or other accessories designed for pets
Whew so surgically implanted tails are still good for plays
