The Texas A&M System Board of Regents unanimously approved a resolution prohibiting drag shows at its 11 universities Friday, citing disrespect to women and “a hostile environment.”
The Board stated that allowing drag shows at university event spaces goes against the Texas A&M System’s mission and values, especially its focus on respecting others, according to the resolution, which was included in an article by The Battalion.
These shows, which feature men wearing women’s clothes, heavy makeup, and exaggerated features to mock women’s bodies, “involve sexualized, vulgar, or lewd conduct, and involve conduct that demeans women,” the resolution states.
