TL;DR Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene in a lawsuit over West Texas A&M University's drag shows, allowing President Walter Wendler to cancel a scheduled on-campus drag show next week. Last year, Wendler banned student-led drag shows, prompting students to sue him for violating their First Amendment rights. The lawsuit is before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, but the slow legal process could result in another cancellation without court intervention. The Supreme Court did not provide a reason for denying the students' request, and the university declined to comment on pending litigation.
