In 2025, Accuracy in Media produced consequences. School administrators were removed, college presidents resigned, state attorneys general opened investigations, and policies changed.

That didn’t happen by accident. It happened because evidence was made public, and AIM activists applied relentless pressure. Thank you!

SCHOOL CHOICE IN THE LONE STAR STATE

AIM’s K-12 investigations did more than expose misconduct. They supplied lawmakers with direct evidence of why reform was necessary.

In Texas, AIM’s undercover footage documented public school officials admitting to lawbreaking, deception, and disregard for parental rights. The videos reached tens of millions and became part of the public record as lawmakers debated whether families should be given alternatives to systems that refused to follow the law.

We put video evidence in front of legislators, the media, and the public, and refused to let it be ignored. Working alongside advocates like Riley Gaines, AIM brought that evidence directly to the Texas State Capitol. ([link removed])

In April, Texas became the sixteenth state -- and the largest in the nation -- to pass universal school choice. In 2021, zero percent of American children lived in states with universal school choice. By the end of 2025, that number has grown to roughly forty percent.

K-12 CORRUPTION AND PARENTAL RIGHTS

In 2025, Accuracy in Media exposed public school officials across multiple states admitting they were bypassing laws meant to protect parental rights and girls’ safety.

Texas -- Administrators in districts, including Dallas ([link removed]) , Irving ([link removed]) , Hutto ([link removed]) , and Richardson ([link removed]) , admitted on hidden camera that they exploited loopholes in the Save Women’s Sports Act. Officials described placing biological males in girls’ sports, housing boys with girls on overnight trips, and coaching parents on how to falsify records.

The evidence sparked outrage across Texas, reaching more than 25 million people and generating $16 million in earned media. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ([link removed]) opened formal investigations into several districts, and multiple administrators resigned ([link removed]) . Gov. Greg Abbott ([link removed]) publicly responded to our investigations, pledging to ban DEI in K-12 schools… a step no other state had taken before. A few months later, he followed through, making Texas the first state in America to outlaw DEI in public education.

Ohio -- AIM’s multi-part investigation into Ohio public schools exposed widespread misconduct and deception, triggering emergency school board meetings, national media coverage, and the termination of an equity officer. The footage made it impossible for lawmakers to ignore what was happening inside their own districts and helped build the momentum that led to Ohio passing universal school choice on July 4, 2023.

AIM has continued the fight in Ohio ever since. Our most recent investigations in Reading ([link removed]) , Princeton ([link removed]) , Norwood ([link removed]) , Springfield ([link removed]) , Dayton ([link removed]) , and Pemberville ([link removed]) revealed school officials coaching parents to falsify documents and manipulate student records so males could enter girls’ restrooms and locker rooms. Within days of release,
Attorney General Dave Yost ([link removed]) issued public warnings and national watchdogs filed formal Title IX complaints using AIM’s evidence.

This is an ongoing campaign, and you can still send a message to relevant officials demanding a crackdown on staff who refuse to follow Ohio law: SaveOhioStudents.com ([link removed])

DEI AFTER STATE BANS: ENFORCEMENT MATTERS

North Carolina -- Across multiple states, AIM investigators captured university administrators openly admitting they continued DEI programs after state bans by rebranding offices, shifting funding, and disguising initiatives under new names. Despite a system-wide ban on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs across the UNC system, Accuracy in Media uncovered administrators openly admitting they continued DEI initiatives by rebranding programs, shifting funding, and avoiding oversight. AIM investigations at UNC Charlotte ([link removed]) , UNC Asheville ([link removed]) , Western Carolina University, ([link removed]) and UNC Wilmington
([link removed]) documented officials describing how DEI “never left,” but was embedded under new language to avoid scrutiny.

After AIM published the evidence, every administrator involved was removed. Western Carolina University closed its entire Office of Intercultural Affairs, and UNC Wilmington promised disciplinary action. The videos reached millions, sparked coverage across national media, and inspired thousands of citizens to flood lawmakers with emails through AIM’s action alert site, SaveNCSchools.com. Our campaign also triggered responses from the U.S. Assistant Attorney General and top NC lawmakers, who publicly responded to our work.

Florida -- In Florida, state law prohibits public universities from using taxpayer dollars to promote DEI initiatives, yet AIM uncovered administrators continuing those programs through rebranding and backdoor funding. At the University of South Florida–St. Petersburg ([link removed]) , an administrator admitted on camera that DEI “won’t go away” and described how funds were rerouted to keep programs alive. At the University of West Florida ([link removed]) , an official detailed how DEI initiatives were disguised under new names to avoid scrutiny.

When AIM’s footage aired as a “First on Fox” exclusive, it forced immediate responses from university leadership and the Governor’s office. Shortly thereafter, UWF installed a new president, and USF–St. Petersburg publicly committed to increased oversight and compliance measures.

Iowa -- AIM revealed how state university officials at Iowa State ([link removed]) and the University of Iowa ([link removed]) defied DEI restrictions by “reimagining” or “finding loopholes.” AIM strategically released these investigations just before a meeting of the Iowa Board of Regents, where policies related to DEI and controversial subject matters were up for discussion. The timing couldn’t have been more impactful. Within days of the videos’ release, Governor Kim Reynolds ([link removed]) publicly condemned the administrators’ remarks, calling them “appalling” and referring the matter to the state Attorney General for review.

At that same meeting, the Board of Regents ([link removed]) took its first step toward reform, voting to require that faculty teach controversial subjects in a fair, two-sided manner and committing to audit the policy every two years.

ANTISEMITISM ACCOUNTABILITY

Northwestern University -- Northwestern University President Michael Schill is gone ([link removed]) . His resignation came after AIM exposed his administration’s repeated capitulation to pro-Hamas radicals and the university’s willingness to legitimize hate in the name of “inclusion.” Schill had struck a deal with an illegal antisemitic encampment on campus, agreeing to activists’ demands in exchange for dispersal. Among those demands was the hiring of two professors recommended by the demonstrators -- one of whom, Mkhaimar Abusada, sits on the boards of two organizations with reported ties to terrorist groups, including Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

AIM brought accountability to Schill’s doorstep ([link removed]) . Our mobile billboard circled his home, our website SchillForHamas.com called on trustees to act, and our repeated campus visits ensured students and faculty could not ignore the evidence. More than 30,000 messages from AIM supporters flooded the Board of Trustees demanding accountability. The pressure worked.

Virginia Military Institute -- Under Superintendent Maj. Gen. Cedric Wins, VMI abandoned its proud traditions for DEI politics. AIM exposed Wins’ decision to award a prestigious teaching fellowship to Philip Crane, a Columbia University-trained radical who led a student group that blamed Israel, America, and the West for the October 7 attacks.

So, AIM stepped in. Our mobile billboard appeared on campus during Founders Day weekend, drawing attention from alumni, cadets, and local media. When VMI refused to act, AIM returned for a Board of Visitors meeting, again with cameras rolling. More than 34,000 emails from AIM supporters demanded accountability. The pressure worked. The Board voted to remove Wins by the end of the academic year ([link removed]) .

Harborview Medical Center -- Last semester, AIM exposed a radical campus group ([link removed]) responsible for vandalism, more than $1 million in property damage, and public praise of terrorism. Despite more than 30 arrests, university leadership refused to act. AIM responded by launching a public pressure campaign, including a mobile billboard that identified the perpetrators and demanded accountability from trustees and prosecutors.

AIM’s investigation then revealed that one of the arrested agitators, Tayler Hart, was employed as a registered nurse at Harborview Medical Center, a university-affiliated hospital. After Hart publicly criticized the hospital for not supporting pro-Hamas activism, AIM returned to Seattle with a mobile billboard demanding accountability. Shortly after the campaign, Harborview confirmed Hart was no longer employed ([link removed]) . ([link removed])

Seattle Public Schools -- Seattle Public Schools has begun the process of firing antisemitic teacher Ian Golash ([link removed]) after Accuracy in Media exposed his radical classroom behavior, criminal history, and public pro-Hamas rhetoric. Golash, a teacher at Chief Sealth International High School, taught students that “men can get pregnant” and that identifying as straight is offensive. He also has multiple arrests for assault, criminal harassment, and trespassing, and openly posted antisemitic and pro-Hamas content online.

Despite repeated complaints, the district took no action until AIM intervened. AIM brought a mobile billboard directly to the school, confronted Golash on camera, and launched a sustained public pressure campaign. The exposure sparked national outrage, mobilized parents and supporters to flood district officials with messages, and led to Golash being placed on leave. After AIM returned ([link removed]) months later to confront district leadership and demand permanent accountability, the district initiated termination proceedings ([link removed]) .

Thank you for staying engaged this year. We appreciate your continued attention to this work, and the results outlined above reflect what sustained pressure can achieve.
