Texas Christian University is offering a course on the "Queer Art of Drag," where students will be taught about "drag performance as an outlet for social critique, pedagogy, and queer worldmaking."
The course will be taught by Nino Testa, whose preferred pronouns are he/him when going by his name, but when wearing a dress and wig as the drag persona "Maria von Clapp" are she/her.
"The gender binary is enforced through compulsory norms, harassment, and violence in service of a white-cis-heteropatriarchy," the syllabus for the spring 2023 course says, adding that "theatricalizing gender" can expand "the possible queer worlds that we could inhabit."
Students will be given $100 each to purchase drag costumes. They are expected to create drag personas for themselves and perform in the Protestant school's annual drag show.

The course, which is funded by an "Inclusive Excellence Grant" from the school's Office of Diversity and Inclusion, includes such commentaries as "The Gender Binary Is a Tool of White Supremacy" by Kravitz Marshall.

Shouldn’t they at least change the school name if they are going to do that? At least drop the “Christian” part?
Another fake “Christian” school masquerading as a place you could send your kid to.
Is TCU the Protestant Georgetown or is Georgetown the Catholic TCU?
It’s hard to see a difference.
and in the not so distant future, those who take this crap will be asking us to pay for it, since they cant get good jobs and are overwhelmed with student debt!
“The Gender Binary Is a Tool of White Supremacy”
It’s time for a napalm strike, it really is.
That would be logical. I don't think the world is logical anymore. It's like we're living in 'Bizzaro World' now, anything goes, anything can happen. Try not to act surprised.
Silly me. You know what I read that as?
"World queermaking."
I wonder why I thought that. . .
....Texas Christian [sic] University is offering a course on the “Queer Art of Drag,”
I find it just amazing that these people can call themselves Christian...somethng is very very wrong with this country today...
“Identifying” as a Christian is like “identifying” as a woman, etc.
As we used to say at ASU (Angelo State Uni), “TC Who?”.
