A town in the Texas Panhandle is likely one of the last places you would expect the left’s radical LGBT agenda to surface, but because no one is safe from the left’s ideological advances, a conservative community and university is now the epicenter of a fierce battle over on-campus drag queen shows.
Tucked far away from the blue takeovers and policies that plague places like Dallas, Houston, and Austin is Canyon, a 15,221 populated town that acts as a gateway to the renowned Palo Duro State Park. Canyon is one of America’s most conservative towns, evidenced by its voters’ overwhelming embrace of Trump in 2020.
More importantly, Canyon is home to West Texas A&M University, which considers itself the Lone Star State’s “most conservative 21st-century public university.”
Approximately 87 percent of WTAMU’s students are from within the state. In fact, many come from the farmer and cattle rancher communities that make up Texas’ prairies and plains and are responsible for keeping the state under Republican control.
Despite their long-held reputations for being quiet, rural refuges for conservative Texans, the WTAMU and Canyon communities became embroiled in what the corporate media tried to paint as a national scandal this week when university President Walter Wendler announced the cancellation of a student drag queen event on campus.
With the aid of several other student organizations, Spectrum, WTAMU’s primary LGBT student group, planned to host an on-campus drag show at the end of the month. Proceeds from the event
