The principal of an elementary school in Oklahoma who has history performing as a drag queen has resigned following intense backlash.
Dr. Shane Murnan, 52, was named principal of John Glenn Elementary School in June but his controversial past, which includes child pornography charges that were later dropped nearly 20 years ago, came to light.
He reportedly performed as a drag queen named Shantel Mandalay and read story books to children at local libraries while in costume.
Western Heights School District had received threats and was forced to hire extra security and instruct Murnan to mostly work-off site before he was placed on administrative leave.
He resigned this week after months of outrage from parents, according to Fox News Digital. Ryan Walters, superintendent of the State of Oklahoma who had called on Murnan to step down, celebrated the news on social media.
Murnan was first linked to the drag queen activities through the Libs of TikTok social media account in September.
It then emerged he faced child pornography charges nearly 20 years ago that were later dropped.
The judge dismissed the case during the preliminary hearing due to a lack of probable cause as it could not be proven the images depicted minors.

Oklahoma? Dayum!
More like Oklahomo.
Yes this happened in Oklahoma and I wonder how this situation would have been resolved in other places.
What a school principal in San Francisco be compelled to resign for being a drag performer? In a place like that it’s hard to believe such Behavior would even be controversial with school superintendents or school boards.
They’re “buggering perverts” ...
technically ...
Kinda what I was thinking.
I’m sure he’s already been contacted for an interview in some other more perverse location where this behavior would actually be a bullet point on a resume.
Infiltrators.
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.
Pedophiles will go to where they have access to children and are protected from the consequences of doing so.
It’s not OK in OK.
Encouraging news, a bit of sanity pushing back against the insanity.
In SFico it would probably lead to a promotion.
Homeschool bump.
You don’t play pervert roulette with your kids.
Considering how pervasive it is, it’s a wonder any parent would even consider taking the chance with their kids.
I live in TEXAS and being a Red State we would NEVER allow these types of animals into our school, much less running our schools. So all I can say to Oklahoma is THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE, this is what you get when you vote wrong.
(I need to believe the above, otherwise I’d have to pull my kids out of public school, and that would mean no boat or F150 for me...too high a price for me to tolerate)
Leave Shantell alone!! LOL!

“I live in TEXAS and being a Red State we would NEVER allow these types of animals into our school,“
They are already there, bank it.
Exactly.
“Murnan was first linked to the drag queen activities through the Libs of TikTok social media account in September.”
Took them from September to February to fire him ... in Oklahoma?
