Sex Offender Hosts ‘Drag Queen Storytime’ for Children
The Houston Public Library has issued an apology after a registered sex offender was allowed to entertain children during the library’s highly controversial program called “drag queen storytime.” . . .
The library announced last Friday that a review of its volunteers revealed Albert Alfonso Garza never submitted a background check before being allowed to entertain children during “drag queen storytime,” KTRK-TV reported.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Garza was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of an 8-year-old child in 2009. . .
“In our review of our process and of this participant, we discovered that we failed to complete a background check as required by our own guidelines. We deeply regret this oversight and the concern this may cause our customers. We realize this is a serious matter,” the library said in a statement, KTRK reported.
We are taking the appropriate action to ensure that the status of every participant in every program throughout our system is verified. We will continue to review our process to ensure that this cannot happen again,” the statement continued. (Read more from “Sex Offender Hosts ‘Drag Queen Storytime’ for Children” HERE)
