A professor at Wayne State University in Detroit has been suspended after he advocated for killing speakers he disagrees with. The professor, Steven Shaviro, was responding to the Stanford Law School students who shouted down a conservative judge. Accuracy in Media responded by sending mobile billboards to the Stanford campus to hold those students accountable. Shaviro took to Facebook to respond, saying that the protesters did not go far enough in a post that began, “So here is what I think about free speech on campus.” “Although I do not advocate violating federal and state criminal codes, I think it is far…

In the second installment of Accuracy in Media’s Texas investigation, educators are seen on hidden camera explaining just how they use linguistic trojan horses in order to defy Gov. Greg Abbott’s Critical Race Theory ban and continue teaching controversial topics and theories to students unbeknownst to parents. “They had to change the wording,” Donna Hodge, advanced academic coordinator at Keller Independent School District, told AIM’s investigators when describing how schools dealt with the CRT ban. Now, according to Hodge, “we talk about the specific things, not the big label.” In the summer of 2021, Abbott signed House Bill 3979. The law prohibits the…
In Accuracy in Media’s latest undercover investigation, educators in the reliably red state of Texas detailed how they are able to ignore Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) 2021 Critical Race Theory ban. “We’ve gotten around it by saying, ‘Well, we’re just not teaching that,’” Evan Whitfield, director of science at Coppell Independent School District, told AIM investigators on hidden camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b79cXbpAmLQ Abbott signed House Bill 3979 in June 2021. The legislation does its best to prohibit the teaching that some individuals are “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.” But, regardless of the amount of attention paid to detail in the law’s…
Across Ohio, Accuracy in Media’s investigators uncovered school officials and educators who admit that they’ll do anything to force Critical Race Theory and social justice into schools. “Even if they pass some of these stupid laws, there’s ways around it,” Keith Ahearn, superintendent of Fairview Park City School District in Cleveland, told AIM investigators. https://youtu.be/ioj2Wn-dw5M Ohio House Bill 616 was introduced in 2022. If passed, the measure would have barred the “teaching or providing training that promotes or endorses divisive or inherently racist concepts.” Headlines smeared the bill, calling it a “Don’t Say Gay” bill, the same nickname given to Florida’s…
Accuracy in Media’s hidden camera investigation into Ohio schools has already revealed the deceptive tactics being used in both Columbus and Cincinnati to sneak Critical Race Theory into education – but those aren’t the only schools that are willing to mislead parents. Dayton, Ohio educators are similarly prepared to skirt anti-CRT laws if they are enacted in the state. “There’s all sorts of ways around it,” Kettering City School District Student Services Supervisor Rick Earley told AIM’s investigators on hidden camera. Betsy Gann, director of Curriculum and Gifted Services at Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Schools, echoed this, saying that “There’s language that we need to…
Accuracy in Media’s investigators went undercover in various parts of Utah, where they discovered that school officials, similar to those in Ohio, are willing to use “loopholes” so they can push social justice and Critical Race Theory. Both Ohio and Utah are red states, which is why activist educators have introduced stealthier ways to teach controversial topics. Talking to AIM’s investigators on hidden camera, Jordan School District Teacher Specialist Letitia Vigil explained that their language and culture department has been instrumental in “helping teachers front load those lessons that might be considered CRT, or white privilege–things like that. How to name things…
Columbus isn’t the only part of Ohio where schools are willing to deceive parents to force-feed Critical Race Theory to students. Accuracy in Media’s investigators found similarly deceptive school officials in the Cincinnati area as well, and they got it all on camera. “We’ll just call it something else,” Assistant Principal of Mason Early Childhood Center Vivian Alvarez was captured telling AIM’s investigators on a hidden camera. The school is “still going to do the same work,” she added. https://youtu.be/93ZkB6-R3vg “We’ll find a way,” said David Traubert, the curriculum manager of social studies at Cincinnati Public Schools. These educators were referencing an effort…
Administrators and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion officers across the state of Ohio are revealing that bans on the teaching of Critical Race Theory won’t stop them. Some employees at Columbus-area schools even revealed to Accuracy in Media’s investigators just some of their deceptive tactics for sneaking in CRT indoctrination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpmyrL-agCU&t=2s “You can pass a bill that you can’t teach Critical Race Theory in a classroom, but if you didn’t cover programming or you didn’t cover extracurricular activities or anything like that, that message might still get out,” Matthew L. Boaz, executive director of DEI at Upper Arlington Schools, told AIM investigators…
As 2022 comes to a close, Accuracy in Media is wrapping up the very worst media blunders from the year. See yesterday’s piece here, and come back tomorrow to see the next on our list. Accuracy in Media asked our followers on social media and email subscribers to tell us their picks for worst in media this year. Of course, 2022’s media blunders were neverending.

Hollywood demonizes decades-old TV shows to virtue signal -Hollywood has been on a constant lookout for ways to virtue signal,…
Accuracy in Media has been covering antisemitism at the University of California at Berkeley Law School for weeks. We sent a mobile billboard calling it out and then exposed the students responsible. But before moving forward, it was time to meet the students firsthand. So AIM President Adam Guillette set out to find answers — and captured those answers, or at least the attempts to get answers, in a man-on-the-street video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgvDEDF4_GM “Is it OK for Berkeley student groups to ban Jews from speaking on campus?” Guillette asked one student. “That’s not what’s happening,” she said. “What’s happening?” he asked. “It’s — that’s not…
