Oklahoma District Hires Drag Queen Who Was Previously Arrested for Child Porn as Elementary School Principal
Shane Murnan, who performs under the name “Shantel Mandalay” when doing drag, was hired at the John Glenn Elementary School in Oklahoma City over the summer.
In 2002, while working as a fifth-grade teacher, Murnan was arrested on charges of child pornography. The case was later dismissed because the state could not prove that the people in the images were minors.
Murnan is also a staple of drag queen story hours, where he dresses up in full drag to interact with children.
The superintendent of the State of Oklahoma, Ryan Walters, has called for Murnan to be terminated immediately.
The school district responded to concerns about Murnan while they were aware, they have done ‘specific background checks’
