West Texas A&M president cancels ‘derisive’ campus drag show, cites Christian faith

“These lewd ‘performances’ are divisive & degrading.”

The head of a Texas university cited the Bible and other religious texts to support his decision to cancel a planned drag show scheduled to take place on campus later this month.

In a statement released Tuesday, West Texas A&M University President Walter Wendler said the college, located in Canyon, Texas, about 10 miles south of Amarillo, will not host the March 31 drag show, which he said was advertised as an effort to raise money for a nonprofit organization, The Trevor Project.

At last week’s Shepherds Conference, Steve Lawson said, “I think that 5% of John MacArthur is worth more than the whole evangelical world put together.”

Some evangelicals immediately accused Steve Lawson of celebrity worship, idolatry, and flattery.

Normally, I wouldn’t dedicate an article to this kind of issue. To be honest, I think this supposed controversy is silly. However, I’ve received some questions about this.
