Supreme Court Declines to Lift Texas College's Drag Show Ban

The decision effectively upholds a controversial ban on drag shows at West Texas A&M University, citing First Amendment concerns.

In a one-sentence ruling, the Supreme Court upheld a Texas federal judge's decision to ban drag shows at West Texas A&M University.
The ban, justified by the university president as a measure against 'derisive, divisive and demoralizing misogyny,' has sparked significant controversy.
Critics argue the ban violates the First Amendment rights of students, particularly affecting LGBTQ college students in North Texas.
The case, Spectrum WT v. Wendler, is expected to be heard by the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, with potential further appeal to the Supreme Court.
The ruling raises broader concerns about freedom of expression and the enforcement of the First Amendment in conservative regions.
