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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Anyone believing TCU is a Christian school just because of its name probably shouldn't be considered a critical thinker.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.
