Gov. Greg Abbott reacts to AIM investigation, condemns DEI policies in schools
January 17, 2025
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has thrown his support behind an explosive investigation by Accuracy in Media that uncovered troubling practices in the Richardson Independent School District. An undercover video released Thursday by AIM revealed a school administrator discussing how biological male students could be allowed to room with female classmates on school trips, despite state laws and widespread parental concerns.
Abbott reshared the video on X, formerly known as Twitter, and used the opportunity to outline his legislative agenda to root out diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in Texas schools.
“Last session, we banned DEI in higher education and cut funding for any DEI positions,” Abbott stated. “This session, we will ban DEI in K-12 grades and cut funding. No taxpayer dollars will be used to fund DEI in our schools. Schools must focus on fundamentals of education, not indoctrination.”
State Rep. Brent Money also praised the investigation, taking aim at the financial priorities of districts that fund DEI positions while asking for more taxpayer dollars.
“Almost every superintendent I meet claims to need more taxpayer funding,” Money said. “Here’s a hack for school board members and superintendents: If you have a ‘DEI administrator,’ particularly one making six figures like this one, your district is either overfunded or mismanaged—or both.”
The AIM investigation is part of the organization’s ongoing efforts to expose radical ideologies, such as DEI and critical race theory, in school systems across the country. AIM continues to be a leading advocate for school choice, arguing that empowering parents and promoting competition is the best way to counter the indoctrination taking place in public schools.
“This investigation is yet another example of why universal school choice is necessary,” an AIM spokesperson said. “It’s time to put control of education back into the hands of parents and out of the grasp of ideologues.”
With Abbott and other state leaders pledging to crack down on DEI and similar programs, AIM’s work is gaining significant traction and raising the stakes in the fight for education reform.

In a recent statement, Gov. Greg Abbott has reacted to an investigation by American Investigative Media (AIM) that uncovered the implementation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies in Texas schools. The investigation highlighted concerns about the influence of these policies on curriculum, hiring practices, and student activities.
Abbott condemned the adoption of DEI policies in schools, stating that they promote a divisive and discriminatory environment that goes against the values of equality and fairness. He emphasized the importance of focusing on academic excellence and meritocracy in education, rather than promoting identity politics and group-based ideologies.
The governor called for a review of all DEI initiatives in Texas schools and vowed to take action to ensure that students are not subjected to biased and divisive teachings. He urged school districts to prioritize academic achievement and critical thinking skills, rather than pushing a political agenda that divides students based on their race, gender, or other characteristics.
Abbott’s strong stance against DEI policies in schools has sparked a debate about the role of diversity and inclusion in education. Supporters argue that DEI initiatives are necessary to address systemic inequalities and promote a more inclusive learning environment, while critics believe that such policies are divisive and promote a victim mentality.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Abbott’s condemnation of DEI policies will impact education in Texas and beyond. Stay tuned for further developments on this controversial issue.
