University-approved. University-funded. Rudder.

As students, we can't really do anything to stop this madness. Here's the link to the petition to stop it: https://www.change.org/p/dr-michael-young-cancel-draggieland

We need Aggie donors to step up and express displeasure with this sort of stuff, because the current admin bends over backwards to please the fringe-left on this campus. Traditional conservative-minded students have no say and are viewed as the "problem".

Post this on the politics board too
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

They should change the Aggie ring design so people would recognize that I went to A&M before it completely went to hell.

This is far from the first time there's been a controversial event on campus like this. But in the past 99.9% of people just said "meh" and didn't go. Are you sure this is university funded? I'm calling BS and would like some evidence of this other than rumors. These events catering to a specific group of people are almost never university endorsed or funded.

Give me a break. You are not a victim because this event is happening. This reminds me of the utter embarrassment from several years back when some nutjobs in student government passed a bill defunding the LGBT resource center because somehow they felt oppressed by it or whatever. Stop caring about insignificant things that don't concern you and you'll be happier.

Imagine being this triggered about something that literally doesn't affect your life in a single, tangible way.

OP needs to grow a pair and stop whining

I dare anyone to read this petition in anyone other than Helen Lovejoy's voice:

Quote:

On February 19th, the MSC Townhall, in collaboration with the LGBTQ+ Pride Center, is hosting the event "DRAGgieland." This event will consist of men dressed as imitations of women, "competing" against each other to be granted "the title of Queen of DRAGgieland 2020."

This event, funded by the university, contradicts the A&M core values, especially respect and excellence. The dress and actions of these performers are disrespectful to women, with men portraying women as objects of sexual exploitation for the entertainment of the student body. The actions of this event do not promote excellence of the student body, but instead foster a climate of degradation.

As Christians we believe in the dignity of every human person, that value and worth is given not earned. We believe that every person is beautiful as they were created and don't have to change to be valued. We are all unique and should be accepted as we are. We believe that the human person, their bodies, and their sexuality are sacred and special and not something that should be exploited, laughed at, abused, or used for the entertainment of others. We are against exploitation of human persons in human trafficking, pornography and prostitution because it destroys their human dignity and enslaves them in a life of being used for the sexual pleasure of others.

We are against Draggieland because it confuses people and their identity. It promotes the sexualization of the human person and goes against the values of our university. As students we strive to live up to the university values and we expect the same from the university itself.
President Michael K. Young and Vice President Daniel J. Pugh Sr, we urge the immediate cancellation of this event for the protection of women and promotion of A&M's core values.

It's missing a "Will someone think of the children!" but otherwise, yes, spot on.

The best part is he wanted affirmation of his horrible opinion so badly that he ran over to the political board and posted the exact same thing!

It apparently shut down for a while (fire?) But is open again. Their GM is one of the founders (or the founder?) of Six Kittens Rescue, and shes pretty awesome! Her and her wife have done a lot to help with the stray cat population in Brazos county, and they rehome so many cats/kittens.

The petition and your OP are full of lies. I guess neither of you care about the Aggie Honor Code. Or do you just care a out core values when it is convenient for you?

Are you a student? When I was a student I remember there was weird stuff going on at MSC/Rudder all the time if you paid attention. Weird performances, bats**t crazy speakers, stuff like that. It's really not that out of the ordinary. I went to this one speaking event just out of curiosity and it was this very extreme right wing speaker who was a total nutcase and was saying some really crazy things. The crowd, mostly being conservatives I'm guessing, didn't seem to like him and that organizers had to ask people to calm down and be respectful to our guest.

Anyway, the point I'm making is that controversial events happen all the time. I'm pretty sure none of them are university funded. Unless you consider giving them a platform and keeping the lights on for them funding them. And what do you do when these things happen? Ignore it. Go about your life. Go work out at the gym and study or something. This is a university and student groups hold weird events and host crazy speakers all the time and it's not unique to A&M.

Some of you are the scared little sissies you want to mock.

Drag shows mean nothing than entertainment.

I wouldn't go to MMA or Monster Truck ralllies. But I also wouldn't have a tantrum about them.

Just don't go
