"Controversial TikTok Creator Joins Oklahoma School Library Advisory Committee"
Chaya Raichik, the controversial figure behind "Libs of TikTok," known for her far-right views and anti-LGBTQ stance, has been appointed to the Oklahoma State Department of Education’s Library Media Advisory Committee, despite not living in Oklahoma. This move has sparked concerns about the influence of her radical views on school libraries and reading materials for public school students in Oklahoma, a state that already ranks fourth in the nation for book bans. Raichik's history of inciting bomb threats and spreading misinformation about LGBTQ issues has raised alarm among critics, who question the selection process and the impact on education in Oklahoma.
