(PM.) Earlier this week, Shane Murnan resigned from his position as the principal of John Glenn Elementary School to the Western Heights School district in Oklahoma after it was revealed he performs as a drag queen and had been charged with possessing child pornography in the past.
In a post on X, Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced Murnan’s resignation. He said, “It’s a great day for Oklahoma. It’s a great day for Oklahoma Schools. Big win today, the Drag queen is out at Western Heights.”

“I have demanded it from day 1,” Walters continued. “This individual shouldn’t be in a school. You should not be working with young kids. I have heard it from parents all over the state, all over this country, this is not what parents want for their kids.”
He went on to give Libs of TikTok credit for breaking the story in August which revealed Murnans, who uses the stage name of Shantel Mandalay, prior charges of possessing pornographic images of children under 18 on his computer.
