You better (not) work.
According to a report, an Oklahoma elementary school is facing calls to fire its drag principal who once faced child pornography violations.
Shane Murnan, who plays “Shantel Mandalay” when wearing high heels and makeup, was elected head administrator at John Glenn Elementary School in Oklahoma City in June, according to Fox News.
The outlet reported that Murnan was charged with possession of child pornography more than 20 years ago, but the case was dismissed because it could not be proven that the images depicted minors.
According to The Oklahoman, Murnan was working as a fifth grade teacher at the time and resigned from his position before re-entering the profession.

Sooner State Public Schools Director of Education Shane Walters criticized district officials over the hiring this week and demanded they fire Murman.
“I think the left absolutely has an agenda for our children, that they are at war with our children in the classrooms,” he told the outlet. “What they are doing is injecting this ideology with an end goal here. “Its ultimate goal is to completely destroy a child’s mind, destroy the classroom, destroy the family, and you can see the results that have been obtained from this.”
District officials have resisted the backlash against Murnan, saying they support his leadership.

“We recently learned of previous charges that were dismissed years ago,” read a June statement on Facebook about Murnan’s past. “We are very excited about his vision for John Glenn and for the community.”
The post listed Murman’s educational credentials and her long history of working with children.

“Dr. Murnan has worked in the field of education for more than 25 years and has an exceptional reputation,” the post said. “He comes highly recommended by supervisors, colleagues and former educators.”
District Superintendent Brayden Savage also fiercely defended Murnan’s selection at the time.

Fox News reported that the director maintained a separate Facebook account under the Mandalay moniker that featured him in costume.
“If I went to church, this is exactly what I would wear,” Murnan commented alongside a photo of himself wearing an electric blue wig and sticking out his tongue.
Walters, a staunch conservative who once characterized teachers’ unions as “terrorist organizations,” said schools are becoming saturated with agenda-driven ideologues.
His ultimate goal, he told Fox News, is to drive a wedge between children and their parents.
“And how do you do it?” he said. “You start… separating them and saying, listen, your gender is fluid. Listen, you can change your pronouns… Look at the sexual material. When the child takes him home and his parents are outraged, the children turn against their parents. This is absolutely an attempt to break up that family unit, so the child is more susceptible to the most radical Marxist gender ideology we’ve ever seen, which pits groups of people against each other. And, frankly, it’s to create Democratic voters.”

Murnan, who participates in local drag queen storytime events for children, once applied to become a church minister in 2014, according to the Christian Post.
He did not respond to a request for comment from Fox.
