Texas Christian University (TCU) offered a course on drag during the 2023 spring semester, according to the syllabus.

Students in the course, titled “The Queer Art of Drag,” met with drag performers and created a “drag persona” to “create a virtual drag performance” shared during TCU’s Annual Night of Drag, according to the syllabus. The course is funded by an Inclusive Excellence Grant from the university’s Office of Diversity & Inclusion.

“Drag is an art form with a rich history of challenging dominant norms and systems of oppression; building queer community; and cultivating experiences of queer joy in a hostile world; but drag has also been deployed in service of violent ideologies and can sometimes participate in harmful normative logics,” the syllabus reads.

Anyone believing TCU is a Christian school just because of its name probably shouldn't be considered a critical thinker.
