Creada como una extensión de Accuracy In Media, esta gente sostiene que en las universidades de los Estados Unidos hay por lo menos 10.000 profesores que son marxistas y que, en consecuencia, se dedican a adoctrinar a los estudiantes en el comunismo. Parecería extraño que esta posición pudiera mantenerse durante mucho tiempo sin ser calificada de ridícula, pero así son los Estados Unidos: este watchdog (observatorio u organismo de vigilancia) de la Universidad fue fundado en 1985, de modo que lleva 25 años con gente suficiente como para creérselo, hasta el punto de financiarlo a través de las fundaciones ‘caritativas’.
