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.”

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, … includes such commentaries as “The Gender Binary Is a Tool of White Supremacy” by Kravitz Marshall.

Other readings assigned for the class include “Drag pedagogy: The playful practice of queer imagination in early childhood” by Harper Keenan and Lil Miss Hot Mess

I’ll agree with the author in ending analysis there.
