"Supreme Court Stays Out of Texas Drag Show Controversy"

TL;DR Summary
Texas Governor Greg Abbott supports the U.S. Supreme Court's rejection of a request by a student group to host a drag show at a Texas university, stating that drag shows are not welcome in Texas universities as the focus should be on education, not indoctrination. The student group, Spectrum WT, sued the university officials for banning the drag show, citing a violation of the First Amendment. The legal battle continues as the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear arguments in April, amidst a broader conservative-led anti-drag crusade in Republican-led states.
