A Republican lawmaker in Oklahoma is calling for the Oklahoma University president to step down in response to a drag show where the school paid a performer $18,000.
Yvie Oddly attends RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7 premiere and panel discussion on May 10, 2022, in New York City.from the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs showed that the drag show’s headliner, Yvie Oddly, was paid $18,000 for the event and that other costs associated with the performance were paid for by student fees and"no state appropriations or student tuition were used to support this event.
"So my question is, why are we spending $18,000 of the OU money, educational money, they could go to scholarships, could go to research, cancer research, these kinds of things that a school should be doing, other research for the betterment of all people, instead OU president decides he wants to fund $18,000 for a person," Humphrey told Fox 25 Oklahoma, adding that"the school seems to have lost their moral compass and they're pushing a woke and perverted agenda.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Humphrey said that the"school should not be involved" in drag performances. "If they allow it that’s on them," Humphrey said."I openly oppose it and feel it is perverse. OU made a Christian group pay for using the facility, paid for security and pay for their own entertainment on the same day. Why are we paying for drag queens? Plus do we want our state college known for being the #1 drag queen performance?"
