Teacher accuses MAGA superintendent of working with Libs of TikTok to destroy his career

A new lawsuit accused a MAGA culture warrior in Oklahoma of working with Chaya Raichik, founder of the Libs of TikTok social media account, to terrorize a teacher for more than three years, according to a report.

The Advocate reported on Thursday that Regan Killackey, a former Oklahoma public school teacher, filed a lawsuit accusing former state superintendent Ryan Walters of working with the popular social media account to attack Killackey over a photo of the teacher's son attacking the teacher's daughter with a plastic sword while she wore a President Donald Trump mask. The lawsuit says the campaign lasted more than 1,000 days.

It added that Walters only took issue with the photo, which was taken in 2019, after a gunman attempted to assassinate Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024.

“This resulted in harm to, among other things, [Killackey’s] reputation and employment,” the lawsuit reads in part.

Walters was one of the most embattled state culture warriors in the MAGAverse before he resigned in 2025. Walters oversaw initiatives to force public schools to teach classes about the Bible, sought to ban books from public school libraries that he claimed taught children a "radical woke ideology," and once projected images of a naked woman on the television in his office, although no charges were filed after that incident.

Libs of TikTok has also been at the center of accusations of stochastic terrorism, or rhetoric that inspires people to act violently without an explicit call to action. Raichick has previously said that such accusations made her feel "important," The Advocate reported.
