You can still have your drag shows, just not on campus. Constitutional crisis averted!Fitch said:
Support the idea here but willing to bet that the drag show bit runs afoul of the first amendment. Have to do some mental gymnastics to make it a Title IX issue.
As far as conforming to the EO- good!
If an activity outside the classroom requires educational value that spells doom for most student activities.Owlagdad said:
Cant see a lot of education value in a drag show.
If it is really in demand, rent a venue off campus.

Just passed in a special telephonic Meeting that TAMU will not allow for these types of shows. Also states that there are only 2 genders and that TAMU System will follow the policies of Trump EO's and directive from Gov Abbott. Basically states that these drag shows go against Title 9 and is discriminatory towards women.
Unanimous Yes Votes

Better question, do they accept NIL to fund it? Would be a better ROI than Aggie sports.Definitely Not A Cop said:
Honest question, if all the sororities wanted to throw a show where they dressed up in lingerie/gaudy outfits and danced burlesque style, would that be allowed on campus?

"WT endeavors to treat all people equally. Drag shows are derisive, divisive and demoralizing misogyny, no matter the stated intent," Wendler said in the letter. "Such conduct runs counter to the purpose of WT."
"Wendler goes on to say that mocking or objectifying members "of any group based on appearance, bias or predisposition is unacceptable." At the end of the letter, Wendler cites the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's purpose, stating that prejudice in the workplace, which Wendler said he believes drag shows are, is "harmful and wholly inappropriate"
"No amount of fancy rhetorical footwork or legal wordsmithing eludes the fact that drag shows denigrate and demean women ... "A harmless drag show? Not possible."

Because there were so many drag shows on the campuses? Can't remember any.

The "on campus" part has me confused. I remember it being shown at the movie theatre across Wellborn. I think it is Shadow Canyon now.Flower Child said:
I know the Rocky Horror Picture Show has been performed many times on campus over the years. Would that be included as part of this ban?
Agreed.Quote:

I'll wear the dreaded title of "CM" on this one, but true drag is just bawdy entertainment………….for adults. I really don't care if some actors do a show in Rudder Auditorium………for adults. Rudder himself may well have watched such entertainment during the war or in the army.
