A 52-year-old Oklahoma elementary school principal is a well-known drag queen who was arrested and charged with the possession of child pornography and drugs in the early 2000s.
Shane Murnan – who goes by the alter ego Ms. Shantel Mandalay when in drag – was recently named principal of John Glenn Elementary School in southwestern Oklahoma City. Murnan has performed as a drag queen for nearly two decades and has “won” awards such as “Miss Gay Sooner Plains America” and “Miss Gay of Oklahoma USofA Classic”.
The newly-minted principal was also charged with possessing child pornography in 2001, while working as a fifth-grade teacher in Oklahoma. “At least four images” were found on his digital devices, leaving him facing up to five years imprisonment, until disputes between different courts saw the case dismissed. One judge simply ruled there was no proof the people in the images were underage. Another disagreed, ruling the images, “did represent child pornography.” Yet, another court once again dismissed the case because “there was not enough evidence.”
Murnan served a probation term for a marijuana charge before having his criminal record removed in 2003. He was later named a defendant in a “criminal probable cause initial filing” for an undisclosed case in October 2020 while working as an assistant principal.
The drag-obsessed teacher was appointed principal of the school earlier this summer, in time for the 2023-24 academic year.
