David Horowitz Freedom Center

Originally formed in 1988, by David Horowitz, astje Center for the Study of Popular Culture in 1988, the Center's directors renamed it, in 2006, the David Horowitz Freedom Center. By either name, its goal was to establish a conservative presence in Hollywood and show how popular culture had become a political battleground. Its programs include DiscoverTheNetworks.com, Frontpage Magazine, the Wednesday Morning Club, the Individual Rights Foundation, and Students for Academic Freedom.

Since 2003, it has promoted an Academic Bill of Rights to support students’ academic freedom, and free the American university from political indoctrination and renew its commitment to true intellectual diversity. In 2006, the Center established another organization, Students and Parents for Academic Freedom in K-12 schools, modeled on the university campaign and with the same agenda: to take politics out of the public school classroom.
