An elementary school in Oklahoma is facing a huge backlash after hiring a drag queen as school principal - with the superintendent denouncing the decision as complete 'insanity.'
Ryan Walters, superintendent of the State of Oklahoma, has called for the immediate termination of the drag queen who goes by the name 'Shantel Mandalay' and reads story books to children at local libraries while in costume.
Walters, a vocal opponent of the move, slammed the hiring decision by Western Heights School District, and told Fox News Digital: 'It's outrageous to have a drag queen running a school, you know, here in Oklahoma that doesn't line up with Oklahoma values.'
He cited parental concerns about what he called 'woke left-wing indoctrination' and 'gender theory' in schools.
I hear from parents every day that are concerned with this woke left-wing indoctrination or schools, this gender theory that continues to be thrust upon our kids. It's completely inappropriate.'
The drag queen in question, Dr. Shane Murnan, 52, who was named principal of John Glenn Elementary School in June, has a controversial past, with child pornography charges nearly 20 years ago that were later dropped.
The judge dismissed the charges during the preliminary hearing due to a lack of probable cause as it could not be proven the images depicted minors, according to Fox25.
The school district said it was aware of the previous charges - but defended the hiring, emphasizing the individual's qualifications and outstanding reputation.
The school district released a statement, stating: 'Dr. Murnan has been serving the field of education for more than 25 years and has an outstanding reputation,' the school district wrote. 'He comes highly recommended from previous supervisors, colleagues, and educators.'

I live in Texas and we’re a RED STATE, so it’s still safe for me to send my kids to public school. Sounds to me that Oklahoma needs to stop being a Leftist state.
I don’t know what power a State Sup’t has but if he can’t fire it directly he should camp out on every TV stations air until the school board does so.
In case you are wondering - Western Heights is in Oklahoma City, OK.
Austin would hire the same pervert.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
“Austin would hire the same pervert.”
And probably some areas of Dallas.
“Austin would hire the same pervert.”
So would most districts here in Texas - which is the point that I’m trying to make, which is that NO ONE is safe from these animals.

I'll bet. Like this?
2023, when it became mandatory for every American elementary school to have its own drag queen.

That means they were trying to foist him on someone else.
