Accuracy in Media is touting its hidden-camera investigations that have been in over 300 school districts across the country and exposing educators who continue diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives despite federal and state restrictions.
The investigators say they have found schools concealing that they are still allowing males to participate in female sports and use female private facilities like locker rooms and bathrooms.
In a recent undercover video, AIM President Adam Guillette confronted Utah Tech’s Assistant Dean of Students, Dru Bottoms, after learning the university “rebranded” its DEI office.
“When I pressed for answers, she admitted they simply renamed and reorganized departments — keeping the same DEI agenda in place. Shortly after, police detained our team,” Mr. Guillette said on X.
Mr. Guillette says that it is not enough to ban DEI initiatives in schools because it “provides a false sense of security.”
“There must be a reporting mechanism for each district, along with civil and criminal penalties for both the individuals responsible and the school district they work in,” he said. “The incredibly widespread nature of this problem suggests it’s not just a few bad apples but instead is a broken system. If you have a child in traditional public education, pull them out immediately.”
States where AIM exposed hidden DEI programs include Ohio, Alabama, Washington, Texas and Iowa.
Following the investigation into the Austin Independent School District, a court ordered the district to comply with state law against DEI instruction on Sept. 15, after an Accuracy in Media investigation prompted an investigation into the district’s defiance.
Liberal group goes after Democratic senators
Demand Justice, a liberal group that monitors congressional lawmakers responsible for overseeing the judicial system, is frustrated with several Democratic senators who, they say, are too lax about allowing Trump judicial nominees to advance through their respective confirmation processes.
The organization announced a new campaign ad criticizing Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island for moving ahead on Mr. Trump’s nominees.
The new ad buy is on top of Demand Justice’s existing six-figure buy, which called out Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois and Chris Coons of Delaware.
“At a time when Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice to launch revenge prosecutions of his political enemies, Senate Democrats cannot bow to Trump by confirming his judges,” said Demand Justice President Josh Orton.
Demand Justice is going to continue holding Democratic Senators accountable until they do everything they can to stand up to Trump’s attack on the rule of law.”
2A group takes ATF to court
The Firearms Policy Coalition announced a filing last Friday of a major new federal lawsuit challenging the National Firearms Act of 1934.
The plaintiffs in Jensen v. ATF include three individual citizens, Firearms Policy Coalition Action Foundation, Hot Shots Custom, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, and Texas State Rifle Association.
The Jensen challengers are seeking a judicial declaration that the National Firearms Act’s regulation of now-untaxed firearms exceeds Congress’s enumerated powers and violates the Second Amendment, as well as a permanent injunction and other relief.
The new lawsuit builds on the landmark Brown v. ATF lawsuit that Firearms Policy Coalition filed alongside the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation and the American Suppressor Association.
No Kings staging new protests
No Kings, a coalition of liberal organizations launched in June with anti-Trump protests in various cities, is planning another multi-city protest Oct. 18.
National organizers are advising potential protesters to include demonstrations in front of Congressional district offices, find places for banner drops, host parades and invite speakers to their events.
No Kings is also doling out legal advice online for participants who may find themselves in trouble with law enforcement at the protests.
