200 instructors accuse the private university in Fort Worth of remaining silent after Texas GOP attacks on a Queer Art of Drag class in July
A TCU instructor who became a target of conservative attacks this summer over his course on drag culture says the university failed to put its foot down in defense of LGBTQ people.demanding the private university declare its “unequivocal” support for LGBTQ students and employees, as well as for the study of LGBTQ history, culture and theory as a “vital component of our academic mission.
Testa himself was harassed repeatedly, the petition says; one threat prompted TCU police to instruct him to leave campus. But university leadership has resisted requests to publicly denounce the attacks and make a “statement of values”“There is a need for the university to make statements supporting the LGBTQ community during difficult times,” Testa said in an interview. “There was either no response, or ‘it’s not in the best interest of the university.’”
