Queer Theory Course Lambasted by Florida “Family” Association

No, we won’t offer a drag show. Shoutout to Dr. Crawley.

I’m taking the grad-level version of this course… and it’s great. And really quite rigorous. And yet, Dr. Crawley has had to arrange for the dean of students to stand outside the classroom to prevent people from harassing students or even posing as students in order to inflitrate the undergrad-level class and proselytize, because the Florida “Family” Association has been spreading rumors that the class is a cover for a semester-long drag show featuring a drag king who dresses like Eminem?

The Tampa Bay Times ran an article about the controversy next to an article about “a chicken with two vajayjays.” I could go on, but I think Sun Sentinel user “Fulano De Tel” said it best when he said:

“It is amazing how education has totally been reduced to courses like drag queens. [sic] Colleges should concentrate on ethics, integrity, etc. that would produce trustworthy businessmen and women, not abnormal drag queens dressing like horses. What is next with this institution, how to marry a dog legally?” (Emphasis mine)

In reality, of course, if gender binaries were as God-given and “natural” as such organizations believe them to be, they would not need social policing. It would be like hiring a cop to enforce the law of gravity.

Let us all pray that USF continues its social production of industrious heterosexual cisgendered male and female workers, and stops subsidizing the production of abnormal drag queen horsedogs.
