Ban on Drag Shows at Texas A&M University

SOURCE www.breitbart.com
Texas A&M University's System Board of Regents banned drag shows from all 11 campuses, citing that they do not align with the university's mission and core values. Drag shows were deemed to create a hostile environment for women and go against anti-discrimination policies. The decision has led to the cancellation of upcoming drag shows, including Draggieland, with refunds for ticket holders. The Queer Empowerment Council plans to protest the ban with a 'Day of Drag.'
