Texas Library Apologizes To Parents For Hiring Pedophile

The Houston Public Library has apologized to parents after a man who volunteered to read to children during “Drag Queen Story Hour” turned out to be a registered child sex offender.

The ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’  is a monthly event and part of a program launched in 2017  to teach children “to embrace gender diversity in themselves and in others” 

The library admitted on Friday that they had not run a background check before the pedophile was allowed to participate in the program.

RT reports: Albert Alfonso Garza – a volunteer drag queen associated with the Houston Public Library program, who performs as Tatiana Mala Nina – was charged with child sex assault on an eight-year-old boy in 2008, according to Mass Resistance, a group that has protested the Drag Queen Storytime program.

The library admitted they had hadn’t run a background check on Garza and issued a statement saying they are very sorry and promising never to do it again, though some protesters want more than an apology.

“If they had done their job and due diligence, if they had said wait…maybe it’s not a good idea to have a sex offender who at 200 pounds and 5-foot-11 assaulted an 8-year-old boy!” said Tracy Shannon, a member of Mass Resistance.

“No participant is ever alone with children, and we have not received any complaints about any inappropriate behavior by participants at storytimes,” the statement, cited by media, read, assuring parents that the library is taking “appropriate action” to ensure all other participants are “verified.”

The library declined to elaborate on whether participants are normally subjected to a criminal background check, or what “verification” entails, but assured parents that “this participant will not be involved in any future HPL programs.”

“Appropriate action is being taken to ensure every participant in every program is verified to ensure similar incidents cannot happen in the future,” they added.
