The Oklahoman reports:
Ryan Walters, state schools superintendent of Oklahoma, announced Tuesday that Chaya Raichik, the woman behind the “Libs of TikTok” social media account has been named to an Oklahoma library media advisory committee.
In a media statement released Tuesday, Walters said he put Raichik on the advisory committee because she was 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 kids.
“Her unique perspective is invaluable as part of my plan to make Oklahoma schools safer for kids and friendly to parents,” Walters said in a media statement. Walter’s announcement included no information about the committee, its other members or how it functions.
Read the full article. Rather obviously, this is just another “own the libs” stunt by self-avowed Christian nationalist Ryan Walters.
Walters appeared here last month when he joined the Trump campaign to “stop the cancer of teachers unions.”
In August, Walters approved far-right PragerU’s climate change-denying, anti-LGBTQ, racist videos for use in Oklahoma public schools.
The FBI is currently investigating Walters’ department for misspending $1.7M in education funds on items such as “kitchen appliances, power tools, furniture, and entertainment.”
Walters has posted a ranting video in which he baselessly claimed that China is secretly funding Tulsa’s public schools. His claim was immediately denounced by Tulsa officials.
In June, Walters appeared here when he announced that Oklahoma’s public schools will soon have a mandatory daily prayer, the mandatory posting of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, and a mandatory high school course in “Western civilization.”
In July, Walters declared that Oklahoma public school students will be taught that the infamous 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre was not inspired by racism.
Many expect Walters to run for governor when fellow Christian nationalist Gov. Kevin Stitt is term-limited out of office. He recently headlined at the Family Research Council’s annual far-right “Pray, Vote, Stand” summit.
The woman behind the “Libs of TikTok” account will join an Oklahoma education committee likely tasked with removing “woke” material from schools. https://t.co/QfYLG6Pemr
