The following report is by American Greatness:
Dr. Shane Brent Murnan, 52, the new elementary school principal at John Glenn Elementary, had his personal devices confiscated by police in 2001 on suspicion of possession of child pornography, V1SUT reported on Substack. Almost 20 years later, he was investigated for another crime, according to a 2020 court filing.
Police arrested the then-30-year-old in August 2001 after a Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) search recovered four deleted images of children engaged in sex acts, according to court records. Police also found 6 grams of marijuana in his home. Murnan, at the time, was a fifth-grade teacher at Stillwater’s Will Rogers Elementary School. After the arrest, school officials suspended Murnan and he resigned in May 2002.
From there, some unexplainable legal wrangling began in which Payne County Special Judge Phillip Corley ruled that prosecutors had not proven Murnan had possessed child pornography, claiming it could not be definitively proven the children in the photos were underage.
V1SUT reported.
Payne County prosecutors appealed Corley’s decision and prevailed in the Payne County Appeals Court.
In direct contradiction to the earlier ruling, Appeals Court Judge Dave Allen stated in his decision: “It is clear from a review of the pictures that they do represent child pornography”.
Later on, however, Payne County District Judge Donald L. Worthington reversed the reversal, dismissing the child porn charge.
Payne County prosecutors gave up, choosing not to appeal. In the end, it appears there was never any disagreement about the existence of the pornographic photos on Murnan’s computer, yet the charge was dropped. Was this a behind-the-scenes plea agreement to allow Murnan to accept only the drug charge (marijuana) and retain his teaching certificate?
Murnan’s record was expunged in October of 2003 after his short probation period on the drug charge. He spent the next several years creating his “Shantel Mandalay” persona and entering crossdressing pageants such as Miss Gay Oklahoma, V1SUT reported.
Last April, he posted a picture of himself dressed like the Easter Bunny on his “Shantel Mandalay” Facebook page with a message about his previous bad choices and the joys of being an educator.
On his drag queen Facebook page, Murnan posts many pictures of himself in and out of drag cavorting with other drag queens and young homosexuals at drag events and in gay bars.
“When my little sister wants a present for her birthday, I do my best to make it happen,” Murnan wrote in the caption for the picture below.
From 2007-2015, Murnan was back in the classroom, teaching at a small elementary School in Norman, Oklahoma, V1SUT reported. From there, he moved to the much larger Oklahoma City Public Schools district as teacher, teacher trainer/instructional coach, and eventually assistant principal at Prairie Queen Elementary School.
Prairie Queen is an underperforming school that serves a population that is 82.3 percent Hispanic and 96.5 percent economically disadvantaged. Most parents speak limited English and 69 percent of students are English language learners. These are vulnerable kids.
In 2018, Murnan reportedly cofounded Oklahoma City Drag Queen Story Hour, Inc. and began promoting the child-grooming library events throughout the state.
The organization teamed with the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Library System during the COVID pandemic and Murnan’s Shantel Mandalay persona was featured online reading to a target audience of young children through the library’s Facebook events.
In September of 2020, during Murnan’s time at Prairie Queen Elementary School, the state entered a Criminal Probable Cause Initial Filing for an undisclosed crime with Murnan as the defendant. That case was assigned to Judge Kevin C. McCray.
Now, three years later, the Oklahoma City Public Schools district hired Murnan to be in charge of John Glenn Elementary School in the Western Heights School District (WHSD) in the southwest part of the OKC metro area.
The district of approximately 2,750 students has been in turmoil since 2021 when the state temporarily took over due to years of financial mismanagement and noncompliance. To simplify, the district gets a lot of funds, spends significantly more than the state average and continues to fail children.
The student population at John Glenn Elementary School is “majority Hispanic, English language learners and overwhelmingly economically disadvantaged,” according to V1SUT.
In a letter to the school’s parents, Brayden Savage, superintendent of Western Heights Public Schools, addressed the district’s controversial hiring decision.
I am writing to address a concern you may read about on social media. We understand the situation may cause concerns and questions among parents, staff, and community members.
Savage wrote in the letter obtained by the Daily Caller.
According to news reports at the time, those charges were dismissed by the court, and the record of the charges has been expunged,” the letter continues. “Since that time, Dr. Murnan has continued to be certified as an elementary school teacher and principal, including having his certificate renewed in April of 2023 and signed by State Superintendent Ryan Walters. The State Department of Education would have conducted another felony background check upon renewing his certification.”
Savage said that at the time of “recommendation,” the district gave its school board “all of the information” it had regarding Murnan and the board then voted to approve his hiring.
He told parents that the district followed “usual hiring practices” in vetting Murnan, checking references and conducting a felony criminal background check.
“Please know we are aware of the situation and handling this matter with the utmost attention and care,” Savage wrote.
In a statement to Crisis in the Classroom (CITC) Thursday, the Oklahoma State Department of Education said “anything that might expose kids to inappropriate sexual content at school is cause for serious concern to parents,” and that the department is “looking into all accusations and will take any necessary action to protect kids.”
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters issued a strong statement on X Friday condemning WHSD’s hiring of Murnan.
This is completely unacceptable. We know that radical gender theory has been a direct assault on our kids and we can’t allow this in our schools.
The superintendent said school districts need to do a better job vetting educators to make sure they reflect “Oklahoma values.”
No one want’s to send their kid to school knowing that they could be exposed to this radical gender theory in any capacity. This woke war on our kids has to stop.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
If we could sum up the sorry state the U.S. is in, well, here you go…
Words cannot express how abominable this is. Not only has this sick, diabolical, demoniac been tried and convicted of these heinous crimes; the school district, which is supposed to, so they say, be there for the welfare and benefit of the children, HIRES and DEFENDS their decision.
And remember: this isn’t California (as if that makes it any more tolerable), this is “red state” Oklahoma that has wrought this deed. Right, Left, it makes no difference: this country hates everything the Bible says and worships abomination.

The fiery judgment from the Lord will be upon this nation; it cannot, will not, and must not continue. This is so despicable and diabolical.
[9] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great. [13] In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. [14] I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 24:9, 13-14
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Ezekiel 33:27-29
“Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.”
“For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.”
“Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.”
What’s about and already going to befall America is going to be vicious! I love hearing this news because it keeps me sober as well as edifies me.
What God is going to bring to America soon to now or sooner than now is going to be a plethora of disasters and terrors and oh boy it’s going to be so just!
Sodomites including these drag queens, feminists, leftist liberals and far right fascists (they’re BOTH guilty, case in point, Oklahoma) socialists, occultists and witches, male chauvinists and perverts, child abusers and molesters, abortionists, murderers, thieves, Roman Catholics and false christians.
While most Americans are more fired up over what NFL teams are going to be tossing a football and running around on the field until Super Toilet Bowl, watching TV until their brains turn to mashed bananas, participating the in left vs. right political soap opera, highly esteeming and exalting some prominent well respected pompous man of the community, and going to cult buildings falsely called churches…America’s destruction is at ready…aim…FIRE!
Speaking of cult buildings, they’re having their phony revivals, auditioning for the Christmas cantatas, stuffing their gluttonous faces at the potlucks, their charismatic satanism, setting up their super bowl parties come February, and the hirelings are grabbing that tithe money hand over fist, and now, it’s all going to come to a grinding halt!
Luke 13:1-5
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Thanks for the informing article Jacob, and kddlporter for the connecting so much scripture to these events; while your comments initially seems dense and off-putting (to the internet addicted generation such as mine), they are always a treasure trove of God’s wisdom carried through his Holy Ghost.
These kinds of news are always vexing, and yet I’m glad that God’s judgment is already present in certain parts of the world (so many ‘natural disasters’ have been occuring recently).
All glory be to the Lord Jesus Christ, God himself. (Isa 9:6, John 20:26-29, Rom 1:18-32, Col 1:12-23, 2:8-9, 1Ti 3:16, Heb 2:1-18)
Pure paganism, if you can use those two words together. All the idolatrous cults are filthy, bloody fertility cults, hating & seeking to defile, corrupt & destroy all that is holy, right, true or pure. Beginning with the words of God. They use all the flowery words & speak of ‘love’, but this is where it always ends: in mockery & at the seat of the scornful….but God is not mocked…..and it is worldwide as vast swathes of the world have already been ‘cleansed’ of truth & the witnesses of the Lord. Remember that it is charity which is the bond of perfectness, and the spiritual is the true reality, the physical & material but the shadow. The love of God is pure & holy, beyond the ken of lost & hateful people who cut themselves off from truth & are given over. America was just the vehicle & medium used, and she was the target because she was the pinnacle of the truth, founded upon the word, & where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. The roots of the corruption reach….and fall…. back through Europe & Japheth’s enlargement on one hand: to Rome & the Middle East; while on the other hand the religious idolatries of Shem with those of the East, also converge on Rome & the Middle East. The ‘sexual revolution’ was not birthed on American ground, and it showed itself from Rome’s debauchery, through the preparation of France for the scourge of Napoleon & idolatrous humanism….& later, with Marx’s vileness; while Bismarck united the Germans by it, aided by the ‘higher climbing/ascending’ & so-called ‘gods’ & Les Perfectibles to the Second Reich, then again to the Third Reich. Targeted immigration & infiltration brought it here….and it takes root wherever the good & pure seed of the quickening word of God does not, and all shall be salted by fire.

They shall likely remove their headquarters from NYC to the Babylon that Saddam Hussein so conveniently rebuilt for them, & may we hope they remove from that old Presidio near San Francisco from which they also worked, & with the Russian plotters & witches such as Gorbachev, and as wicked as ol’ Blavatsky or Besant or Wollstonecraft, Laodicea, Jezebel….presuming ‘avatars’ of that wicked, that vile, that Queen of Heaven going by many names & ending at Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. Romans 1-8 KJB.

And, can we forget sensual Ham to the South?

All those converge on Rome & the Middle East as the Lord regathers his people, & the nations to judgment.
