head of Oklahoma's Board of Educ rejoices after elementary school principal resigned following hate-induced bomb threat
The head of Oklahoma's Board of Education celebrated a local school principal's resignation.
The Western Heights School District board accepted the resignation of Shane Murnan, the former principal at John Glenn Elementary School, on Monday — a little over five months after beginning the position.
Shortly after starting his new role, the right-wing and anti-LGBT social media account "Libs of TikTok" posted evidence of Murnan performing outside of work as a drag queen, tagging Western Heights Public Schools Superintendent Brayden Savage in the process.
As NBC News reported, publicizing Murnan's hobby quickly led to Murnan and the school district receiving bomb threats, leading to Murnan's voluntary departure.
Days after NBC News published its report on Murnan's resignation, Ryan Walters, Oklahoma's superintendent of public instruction who's been a strong advocate against anything related to the LGBT community in education, shared the story in apparent celebration on X.
"Drag queens do not belong in Oklahoma schools," Walters tweeted. "Zero tolerance."
Walters' celebratory tweet on Wednesday wasn't the first time he's weighed in online about Murnan's resignation. Earlier in February, he rejoiced after learning the principal was leaving their post.
