In August 2022, at a packed school board meeting in Grapevine, Texas, a mom approaches the microphone and describes the exact nightmare that Republican politicians have been warning about. She accuses a teacher of convincing her child to change genders. As a result, she says, “I lost my son.” But when NBC News reporters Mike Hixenbaugh and Antonia Hylton look into this mother’s allegations, they find a different story: of a transgender child desperately wanting to be heard, a mother determined to put God first — and an English teacher caught in the middle. And they discover this isn’t just a story about one broken family. It’s also a story about a fringe religious movement wielding newfound power and the revival of a long-simmering quest by evangelicals to remake American education based on their version of biblical values. From NBC News Studios and the team behind the Peabody Award-winning series Southlake, Grapevine is a podcast about faith and power — and what it means to protect children — in an American suburb.2023 NBCUniversal Media LLC, all rights reserved Política y Gobierno

    Two years after conservative activists turned critical race theory into a right-wing rallying cry, the political fight has shifted. The team behind the Peabody Award-winning podcast Southlake tells the story of one family broken apart in the midst of a new anti-LGBTQ culture war, and the high school English teacher caught in the middle.

    The Seven Mountains
    Oct 4 2023

    Conservatives are gaining power in Grapevine, fueled by a once-fringe movement that calls on evangelicals to control the seven key “mountains” of American society — including education. A cellphone company with a Christian nationalist agenda heeds that call and sets its sights on winning school board seats in Grapevine, following an example set a year earlier in the neighboring city of Southlake.

    CORRECTION (Oct. 4, 2023, 08:40 p.m. ET): A previous version of this episode misstated the amount of money Patriot Mobile Action spent in school board elections in North Texas in spring 2022. It was nearly $500,000, not $600,000.

This is truly scary just how organized and well funded these so-called "Christian" extremist groups are. They literally have a plan to go town by town, getting ultra right-wing conservatives elected to school boards so that they can change everything. The pronouns and going by a different name is an issue that teachers were divided on, but once they started removing books from the library, that's when the teachers united!! They removed To Kill A Mockingbird from my daughter's HIGH SCHOOL!! That's a classic piece of literature that most everyone had to read in school. When I called the school to ask why that one, amongst many others, I thought the answer would be because of the rape discussions and the constant use of the "N" word, but I was wrong. They removed it due to their CRT policy. in the book, a white man accuses a black man of raping his daughter. It was actually the father who was raping and beating his own daughter. So a black man was put on trial for something he did not do, because a while person said he did it. No other proof except for the white man's word. Evidently, that is considered CRT because it made a white man look bad, and it was a black man being persecuted by white people. We can't even tell the TRUE HISTORY of our county because it makes white people look bad! Well, they were! Plain and simple, we slaughtered Native Americans, enslaved many of them took their kids away from them, and then, of course, there's everything white people did to black people. Our kids aren't going to learn that stuff anymore because it could possibly make white kids feel ashamed to be white because of everything we as a race really did! THIS IS WHY THERE IS A TEACHER SHORTAGE AROUND HERE!!! THEY'VE HAD IT!!! This is a GREAT podcast that sadly is true at almost every school district in this area. I live about 45 minutes away from Grapevine, and with this organized plan, it will be heading here soon. Right now, teachers here are still free to use whatever pronoun our name the student wishes to go by. Trans kids are free to use the bathroom if their choice, but I'm not stupid, I'm sure they are headed here soon!! Mark my word, THERE WILL BE A RISE IN LGBTQ KIDS COMMITTING SUICIDE!! THEIR BLOOD WILL BE ON THIS GROUPS HANDS!!

This breaks my heart!!

Great reporting. Trumpers hate it bc it shows what awful busy bodies they are and how dangerous they are to the actual safety of children. Must listen and a call to action to keep our schools secular.

Fantastic!

Too one sided politically. Alienates. Not what I thought it would be. Moving on now.

Nope, content unbecoming.

I know this story first hand as an active and engaged GCISD parent and this treatment is rampantly advocating for having the district not follow state law, demonize anyone participating in the political process, and dismissive of the board and the administration.

Advocacy masquerading as journalism
