"Controversy Surrounds Appointment of Libs of TikTok Creator to Oklahoma Library Committee"

Chaya Raichik, the operator of "Libs of TikTok" social media accounts known for far-right and anti-LGBTQ+ political positions, has been appointed by Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters to the Oklahoma State Department of Education Library Media Advisory Committee. This move follows Raichik's attacks on a Tulsa-Union school librarian, which led to bomb threats and learning disruptions. Walters praised Raichik's perspective and platform, while also proposing new rules to eliminate references to American Library Association guidelines in Oklahoma's Information Literacy Standards, branding the ALA as "left-wing."
