Arr, me mateys! Avast ye! The mastermind behind "Libs of TikTok", Chaya Raichik, hath been summoned by the noble Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters to join the Library Media Advisory Committee. Methinks this be a jolly good addition to our crew!
The creator of the social media account "Libs of TikTok" has been appointed to a position in the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Chaya Raichik has been appointed to the Library Media Advisory Committee (LMAC) by Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters. Walters stated that he appointed Raichik because she has been exposing what he believes to be the radical left's agenda in schools. He described her as a fierce defender of conservative values and someone who will help rid schools of liberal indoctrination. The LMAC is a volunteer advisory board that consists of parents, librarians, and English literature teachers. Its purpose is to guide the Oklahoma State Board of Education in the selection of books and materials for K-12 schools, with a focus on removing pornographic or sexualized content. Raichik gained popularity through her "Libs of TikTok" account, which exposes controversial elements in the education system, including sexually explicit material in books. She has amassed over 2.8 million followers since its creation. Walters' decision to appoint Raichik came after he called for the elimination of "woke" library standards from Oklahoma schools. The appointment has faced backlash from some lawmakers who question Raichik's qualifications and accuse her of being a right-wing extremist responsible for bomb threats on public schools. Despite the criticism, Raichik remains determined to get rid of pornographic content in schools.
