Texas law banning drag shows where children may be present struck down again
‘This is a profoundly flawed decision that endangers our children and is an affront to Texas values,’ Ken Paxton says A federal judge has, for a second time, struck down a Texas state law banning drag performances in settings where children may be present. In a ruling issued on Tuesday, US district judge David Hittner said Texas cannot enforce its drag show ban. He said that the measure improperly restricts speech and violates the first amendment of the US constitution.
