Houston Public Library is apologizing after a man charged for sexually assaulting a child was allowed to entertain children at Drag Queen storytime.
The library said Friday that a review revealed the volunteer never completed a background check before he was allowed to participate in the program.
Albert Alfonso Garza, 32, was last seen reading to children at the Montrose Library in September 2018.
ABC13 Eyewitness News has learned Garza was charged with child sex assault in 2008. According to records, his victim was a child under the age of 14 years old.
The library said appropriate action is being taken to ensure every participant in every program is verified to ensure similar incidents cannot happen in the future.
Each program is supervised by staff, and all children are accompanied by a parent or guardian, the library said.
Friday, Houston Public Library released this statement:
We were made aware today that one participant for Drag Queen storytime who read at the September 29, 2018, Drag Queen Storytime has a criminal background that should have prevented him from participating in the program.
We assure you that this participant will not be involved in any future HPL programs.
In our review of our process and of this participant, we discovered that we failed to complete a background check as required by our own guidelines. We deeply regret this oversight and the concern this may cause our customers. We realize this is a serious matter.
Every program sponsored by HPL is supervised by HPL staff, and all children are accompanied by a parent and/or guardian. No participant is ever alone with children, and we have not received any complaints about any inappropriate behavior by participants at storytimes.
We are taking the appropriate action to ensure that the status of every participant in every program throughout our system is verified. We will continue to review our process to ensure that this cannot happen again.
Once again, we apologize for our failure to adhere to our own process in this matter and to the hundreds of parents and caregivers who have enjoyed this program with their children.
What possible clue was there that he was a pervert???
So now they will screen potential drag queens to be sure they are mentally healthy, and have never had a run-in with the law?
That will eliminate 100%.
This is mental child abuse the parents allowing this should be prosecuted
As crazy as this sounds and I was gob smacked myself my husband’s nephew is the interim chancellor at one of the Univ of Arkansas campuses. A month or so ago he was informed that there was going to be a drag queen storytime at the Univ library. He had to decide whether or not to shut it down. He finally decided to let it happen and not make a big deal out of it. Almost nobody showed up and most people didnt even know about it. No he’s not a libtard.
Sickening that this is even a thing. Acceptance of these demons and other perverts was one of the great struggles that should have happened after the end of the Cold War. The Right failed to show up for the fight. Conservatism was arguing for slight reductions in the capital gains tax rates, while the Left was busy mainstreaming these weirdos. The Republican party did nothing; it’s almost like it was an inside job. I guess giving trannies access to children is fine as long as we are making plenty of money. Off to read Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God ... again.
This San Fransicko homo crap would never fly in Texas.

What has this world come to?
These people (term “people” loosely used) are SICK! Mentally ill! PERVERTS!
pervert
1.
a person whose sexual behavior is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable.
synonyms:
deviant, degenerate, debauchee, perverted person, depraved person; perve, dirty old man, sicko, weirdo
“a sexual pervert”
PC run amok.
KILL PC NOW! PC is DESTROYING our society!
Being “gay” is not OK. Let alone Lesbians, bisexuals, trannies, questioners, intersexuals, and asexuals. LGBTQIA
Will we run out of alphabet before we run out of socially accepted sexual perversions?
This is where “tolerance” of sexual deviants has taken us.
give them an inch and theyll take a mile
“This expression first appeared in writing in John Heywoods collection of proverbs from the year 1546. However, it was written in a slightly different form, give him an inch and hell take an ell. An ell was a unit of measurement that was about 45 inches, or six handbreadths.
Sources speculate that the proverb changed its wording due to the fact that ell is no longer a common measurement. Another theory is that it changed to become more of a hyperbolic to give greater emphasis to how much advantage a person would take if allowed to bend the rules even slightly.”
The money quote...
“give greater emphasis to how much advantage a person would take if allowed to bend the rules even slightly.”
“Appropriate action for the library would be to fire the dimwit that thought hiring a sexual pervert to teach children was a good idea.”
Appropriate action for the library would be to fire the dimwit that thought having drag queen storytime to teach children was a good idea.
There fixed it.
Being a “drag queen” is NOT OK. Having “drag queen storytime” is NOT OK.
SICK PERVERTS!
ENOUGH of this $HITE!
I presume the Gaystapo are planning another.
Houston?
Queers, child molesters....same thing.
