The state’s education chief said Raichik will “make schools safer for kids” even though her posts have inspired bomb threats at local schools.

Ryan Walters, the right-wing superintendent of the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE), has appointed Chaya Raichik, an anti-LGBTQ+ activist who goes by Libs of TikTok on social media, to serve on the OSDE’s Library Media Advisory Committee. The committee decides what state public school students are allowed to read.

Raichik, who doesn’t live in Oklahoma, has achieved national infamy as her posts targeting LGBTQ+ educators and allies have led to multiple bomb and death threats against schools, teachers, students, and children’s hospitals — including two Oklahoma schools. She will likely support Walters’s continued crusade against LGBTQ±inclusive books in public schools.

“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,” Walters wrote in a statement he issued on Tuesday morning via X.

You’ve heard of virtue signalling? This is the opposite of that- vice signalling.

See, their dumbfuck education commissioner is running for governor. And since Republicans have absolutely no policy beneficial to the electorate to run on, the only thing they can do is signal to their dumbfuck constituents that they hate the same things the populace hates.

As an Oklahoman I want to say We voted against that asshole but apparently to many assholes in my state. If there something I can do to stop all this tell me? I will run for office or something. This cunt needs to not be in charge of what my children see. As a father of a LGBT child I fear for them everyday.

Education is really being targeted hard by right-wing cultists. People will have to fight back as much as possible or educate their children outside of school hours.

Everyone pays attention to big elections but nobody watches the school board elections, that’s why the crazy right wing Karens end up taking over the school board
