Dallas Observer covers AIM activism in Texas
September 2, 2024
Adam Guillette stands in front of an elementary school in Coppell wearing a gray suit and a wine-red tie. His hand is clenched around a microphone, his hair is slicked back and the tendons of his neck bulge as he approaches the camera and warns of a conspiracy that is bringing racism and antisemitism into the classrooms of North Texas: critical race theory.
As Guillette, followed by a wobbly cameraman, approaches parents arriving at their children’s schools for meet-the-teacher night, he is shooed away by administrators.
“Hey, good afternoon. A Coppell school district administrator was captured on hidden camera bragging about deceiving parents,” Guillette says to a parent outside of Denton Creek Elementary School, who responds that the claim is “awful.”
Guillette is president of the conservative watchdog group Accuracy in Media, whose website claims to use “investigative journalism and cultural activism to expose corruption and hold bad public policy actors accountable.”
