Judge Overrules Drag Show Ban at Texas A&M!

In Texas, a judge overruled Texas A&M University's ban on drag shows, allowing the "Draggieland" event to proceed. The Texas A&M Queer Empowerment Council, supported by FIRE, challenged the ban as a violation of First Amendment rights. Senior U.S. District Judge Lee H. Rosenthal agreed, emphasizing attendance is voluntary and non-offenders shouldn't attend. Despite the court ruling, other universities have maintained similar bans. Rosenthal's decision highlights ongoing tensions between free expression and university regulations in the U.S. education system.
