"Supreme Court Declines to Intervene in Texas Drag Show Controversy"

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene in a case involving a ban on drag shows in Texas, marking the second time this term it has refused to step into a drag controversy. Students at West Texas A&M University sought emergency intervention after their scheduled drag show was blocked on campus, claiming a violation of their free speech rights. The university president's opposition to drag shows and a conservative federal appeals court add complexity to the situation, while legal arguments revolve around whether drag performances qualify for First Amendment protection.
