COOKEEVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Tennessee Tech University President Phil Oldham issued a statement after a video of a drag show on campus went viral on social media Wednesday.
The controversy began when director Robbie Starbuck’s wife, Landon Starbuck, tweeted a video of a drag scene that took place on stage at the Tennessee Tech campus.
In the video, Starbucks claims that young children give money to the actor and that the show is “to make fun of Christians.” She called out the university for allowing the show, which she believed was “inappropriate for young audiences”.
