West Texas A&M University campus president Walter Wendler wrote a scathing email on Monday canceling a drag show on campus, calling the event akin to blackface.
'The Big Sunday Show' panelists discuss the New York City government hosting a drag queen story hour for children.as an event that demeans and diminishes women while canceling an event on campus.
"Does a drag show preserve a single thread of human dignity? I think not. As a performance of exaggerating aspects of womanhood , drag shows stereotype women in cartoon-like extremes for the amusement of others and discriminate against womanhood. Any event that diminishes an individual or group through representation is wrong," Wendler wrote.He also compared the act of taking part in drag shows akin to"blackface" in terms of denigration.
"[West Texas] intends to provide fair opportunities to all based on academic performance. Ideas, not ideology, are the coin of our realm.
