    Cronyism at its finest. I’m sure her real estate experience will surely help with facilitating education.

    Hiring a virulent bigot to determine what books children get access to. I’d say I hope they like dead children but we all know that they absolutely do if the children are of certain groups

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Oklahoma’s culture war-obsessed superintendent has appointed professional harasser Chaya Raichik — of the account Libs of TikTok — to the state’s Department of Education Library Media Advisory Committee.

    In a statement released Tuesday, Superintendent Ryan Walters wrote that Raichik 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.”

    Libs of TikTok — which has 2.5 million followers on X alone —  serves to direct harassment at teachers, doctors, hospitals, and other individuals who support the rights of the LGBTQ+ community and the need for comprehensive education on issues of race, gender, and sexuality.

    Libs of TikTok primarily operates by singling out accounts or institutions deemed promoters of “woke,” or inclusive ideology, often reposting videos that have been edited or stripped of context.

    Despite Raichik’s claims that she simply reposts content that’s already available online to “expose” the “crazies,” threats, hate mail, and intense vitriol against those featured on the account tend to follow shortly after.

    After USA Today published an article on a report chronicling Libs of TikTok’s impact, Raichik gloated that she’d made the front page of the paper.
