Patriot Mobile PAC.

Parents are pretty mad about KISD Trustee Walker and Young invited a foreign, evangelical, film crew into a public high school and filming their children without their consent. So who helped put these candidates into office and how much did they donate? Patriot Mobile. A lot.

Patriot Mobile PAC was created in January 2022 and funded mainly by Patriot Mobile LLC, a cell phone company. Since then they have raised $1,341,515. Of this total, 98%, came from two donors. $1,200,000 came from Patriot Mobile LLC and $120,000 came from Bryan Bradford, an investor in Austin, Texas. Patriot Mobile’s share is 90%.

Since January 2022 Patriot Mobile PAC spent $985,385. Of that $392,000 was spent on candidates in school district races and MUDs. Each KISD candidate Walker, Young and Shaw received $45,321 for their campaigns. As I said, this is A LOT for a school race that usually costs a couple of thousand dollars. All three were elected.

If you look at their personal campaign finance reports they each raised just a few thousand dollars but let Patriot Mobile PAC spend $45,321 on each of their campaigns hidden in campaign finance reports on the Texas Ethics Commission website. They never denounced their participation. They never denounced an LLC meddling in local school boards. They gladly accepted it. They took their money and have done their bidding.

And now two years later one has resigned (Walker) and one should (Young)

This is the first board meeting to be held after the film crew controversy at a Keller ISD high school west of Fort Worth.

Parents of Keller ISD have an opportunity to demand accountability at the upcoming school board meeting to be held Feb 29, 2024 at 5 PM. Details can be found here. The meeting will also be online. Hopefully parents will give the board an earful after two of their members were involved with a foreign Christian right film crew who was escorted into a high school. The film crew was part of a group that published a documentary titled “God, Jesus, Trump.”.

One of the members quickly resigned while the other, Micah Young, is hanging on claiming he “I briefly assisted my colleague in an interview about Texas public schools.” That is truly a bunch of horse shit. That “colleague” has resigned. The film crew claims they will air the segment with the kids faces obscured.

That’s not enough. Heads need to roll. Young should be removed. Parents should file a grievance against Young, file a suit against the film crew and the former board member. This is truly unacceptable. Who in their far right mind thinks this was acceptable at a school?

Parents in Keller ISD are not happy.

Hundreds of parents are calling for the resignation of KISD Trustee Micah Young. Young was elected in 2022 and has been caught in a controversy at a KISD High School. According to CBS: KELLER – Parents and students feel their safety and security have been violated after an unauthorized evangelical film crew from the Netherlands entered and filmed at Central High School on Feb 9. without authorization from the school district.

A Trustee who escorted the film crew through the school has already resigned and hundred of parents have called for Young to resign also. He was present when the crew was filming. Young has posted a response to his Facebook page stating:

He has 386 comments and all seem to be calling for him to resign. Even the President of the Board has called for his resignation. Young should resign and if he doesn’t someone needs to file a grievance against him. Parents should also file against the film crew. Here is just a sample of the responses.
