LGBT+ students sue WT president over canceled charity drag show.

An LGBTQ student group and its leaders have filed a lawsuit against the president of West Texas A&M University, Walter Wendler, for violating their First Amendment rights by canceling a planned campus drag show. The lawsuit comes after days of protests and a student petition in support of the drag show. The students want the event reinstated and ask the court to prohibit university administrators from violating their free speech rights. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression is representing the students. Wendler sent a letter to the campus community Monday announcing drag shows are banned on campus.
