There was a time when schoolteachers – especially in elementary schools – had to have moral integrity as well as academic knowledge in order to teach children. People of a certain age remember that. But those days are gone. Unfortunately, most parents either don’t realize it or don’t care.A “Drag Queen” at the elementary school
The Blackshear Elementary School is a “magnet” public school in in Austin, Texas, that describes itself as a “fine arts academy.”Last year, our Texas MassResistance Director, Tracy Shannon, received a disturbing tip from a local parent. The Blackshear Elementary School had invited an Austin-area Drag Queen, David Lee Richardson, aka “Miss Kitty Litter,” to read to the children in the school library.Two months earlier, MassResistance had exposed “Miss Kitty Litter” as a convicted male prostitute. “Miss Kitty Litter” had been doing “Drag Queen Story Hour” events in the Austin Public Library system. Tracy even held a press conference at the Austin City Hall about the MassResistance exposé.How did a “Drag Queen” who is a convicted prostitute also get into the Blackshear Elementary School? What is going on? Was there a background check?As Tracy continued to uncover more, Arthur Schaper of MassResistance filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Austin Independent School District for all materials regarding that incident, including the people who invited “Miss Kitty Litter” to the school. What we found out was shocking!Brought in by school librarian – who knew about the prostitution conviction!
The FOIA request yielded quite a bit of information. We discovered that Roger Grape, the school librarian for the past seven years (who calls himself the “Guybrarian”) was the person behind inviting Miss Kitty Litter to the library.We also learned that Grape knew that Miss Kitty Litter had a criminal record – and he knew that MassResistance had exposed it. But he still wanted to take every step possible to get him into the children’s library anyway. (He also attempted to invite additional Drag Queen performers to read to the children, according to the FOIA material.)Here are the text messages between Roger Grape and David Richardson (Miss Kitty Litter):Richardson's texts have GRAY background; Grape's text have BLUE background.First, Richardson acknowledges to Grape that he might not pass a background check at all because of his prior conviction:Rather than be concerned about the well-being of the children, Grape instead suggests that there might be a loophole for Richardson, which he is happy to do:(Deferred Adjudication in Texas means that the defendant pleads guilty to the crime, but the judge "defers" a guilty verdict and instead gives him probation. It is technically not considered a conviction, even though the court agreed that the evidence was against him and he admitted that he did it.)In their texting back and forth, Grape and Richardson poked fun at Tracy Shannon, too. They both obviously were aware that she had already exposed this.Lo and behold, Richardson passed the background check, even though Grape knew about his prostitution past, and Tracy had publicly announced it at a City Hall press conference.Of course, because of the efforts of Texas MassResistance, Miss Kitty Litter was worried about possible protests at the elementary school. He even feared that parents might show up to try to stop the event! But the “Guybrarian” assured him that this school has more “progressive” parents, including the PTA, and there would likely be little or no pushback:Library event scheduled during school’s “LGBTQ+ Pride Week”
The Drag Queen library reading event was scheduled during “LGBTQ+ Pride Week” at the elementary school. The fact that an elementary school would have such an event reflects the mindset of the people running things. It was apparently a district-wide promotion in the Austin schools.A letter to the Blackshear Elementary parents was sent (or emailed) by “Mr. Grape, Guybrarian” about the upcoming ”LGBTQ+ Pride Week” reading event. He invited the parents to come and join their children at the event at the school library.Classes would be coming into the library for the reading. The letter did not mention that a Drag Queen would be involved, but simply said,“As part of Blackshear’s celebration, guest readers from the LGBTQ community will come to read to our classes in the library, and you’re invited to join us!”It turns out that “guest readers from the LGBTQ community” referred to the two people who would be reading: (1) the Drag Queen and (2) an Austin School District Library Coordinator named Jenny Wren Pennington. Not surprisingly, Pennington is also an officer of the Texas Library Association “Queers and Allies Roundtable.”We were able to get a list of the books that were read to the children that day. The books all normalized and promoted LGBT behaviors to children:
- “Julian is a Mermaid” – About a boy who dresses in girl’s clothes to be a “mermaid”
- “Red: A Crayon’s Story” – Introduces the concept of sex-change to children
- “They, She, He, Me: Free to Be!” – Introduces “gender fluidity” and “gender pronouns” to children
- “Neither!” – Introduces LGBT concept of “not fitting in” to children
