Right-wing activist behind ‘Libs of TikTok’ appointed to state post advising on school libraries

The right-wing activist behind the X account “Libs of TikTok” has been appointed to a post in Oklahoma advising on school libraries.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters appointed Chaya Raichick to the state’s library media advisory committee at the Oklahoma Department of Education.

Ms Raichick posts videos on the platform formerly known as Twitter often attempting to portray LGBT+ educators in a negative light, describing them as “groomers” and “indoctrinators,” HuffPost noted.

In a statement shared on Tuesday, Mr Walters said: “No one has done more to expose what the radical left is all about than @ChayaRaichik10 and @libsoftiktok. Her’s [sic] is a powerful voice to protect Oklahoma kids from porn in schools and woke indoctrination. I’m proud to have her on our team.”

He argued that “Chaya is on the front lines showing the world exactly what the radical left is all about — lowering standards, porn in schools, and pushing woke indoctrination on our kids”.

“Because of her work, families across the country know just what is going on in schools around the country,” he added. “Her unique perspective is invaluable as part of my plan to make Oklahoma schools safer for kids and friendly to parents.”

“Chaya has a much-needed and powerful voice as well as a tremendous platform that will benefit Oklahoma students and their families,” he claimed.

Social conservatives across the US have made it one of the main priorities in what they see as they battle with the progressive left to remove books from libraries that feature LGBT+ characters, themes, or concepts, in addition to some books covering issues such as racism.
