TL;DR Summary

A well-funded campaign to promote Christian nationalism in the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District in Texas has divided the community and raised concerns among religious liberty advocates. The race has split the community into three groups, with a slate of school board candidates backed by a far-right Christian cellphone company, another group supported by a political action committee and local nonprofit opposed to religious indoctrination in schools, and a third slate of moderate conservatives. The fight over faith and politics in Grapevine-Colleyville can be traced back to a year ago when Patriot Mobile Action, a political action committee bankrolled by a far-right Christian cellphone company, spent $600,000 backing a slate of 11 school board candidates across North Texas, winning every race and gaining majority control of four area school boards, including GCISD.
