American funders withheld support from institutions they judged dogmatically Marxist

Evidence

I asked Friedrich for his views about our project on Cultural Aspects of National Socialism'. He answered that it would be an excellent project if it was carried out by competent, unbiased and undogmatic scholars’. When he made this statement, it was clear to me at once that Friedrich considered the Institute to be a purely Marxist affair, and consequently did not trust us to be able to carry out such a project in an unbiased manner. … I could defend myself indignantly against the hidden accusation, or I could play with at least half-open cards. I decided on the latter course. I therefore asked him openly whether he meant by this that the Institute was purely Marxist and as a result of its dogmatic commitments could not guarantee that it would carry out the project objectively. His answer was `yes’. I explained to him, in the first place, that there were differences between Marxists and Marxists, and secondly that it was not correct to say that the Institute was made up of Marxists. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 277
