A former teacher from Michigan recently found herself targeted by the anti-LGBTQ+ social media account Libs of TikTok, managed by Chaya Raichik, after she posted about banned books.
The ordeal started September 15, when Elizabeth Hatline, who quit her teaching position with DeWitt public schools to care for her twin toddlers in May after working for the district for more than a decade, shared a reel on Instagram featuring 19 books banned across different regions in the United States over the past year. Many of these books explored LGBTQ+ themes.

Hatline told The Advocate that she intended to present these books as a message of awareness and choice.
“These are beautiful stories of identity and homes and families and belonging. If you want to read them, great,” she said.
At first, she said the feedback she got was great, but after Libs of TikTok reposted her video, it ignited a flame of discord that rapidly spread across social media platforms.
The post from Libs of TikTok read: “First grade teacher at @DeWitt_Panthers encourages teachers to read ‘banned books.’ Some of the books she promotes include teaching kids that they can be born in the wrong body, that they can be trans, pronoun books, and books that encourage discussions on gender identity. This is what they’re teaching your young kids in schools. If you oppose teaching 6-year-olds that they can be trans, they will call you a far right Nazi extremist book banner.”
