This Month in Voting Rights History | | |
Picture: It was standing room only as over 70 people showed up last Friday for the McKinney Area Democratic Club’s membership meeting. | |

Education: Although Grapevine Colleyville ISD (GCISD) is in Tarrant County, we still need to be paying attention to what’s going on there because it’s truly terrifying. If you’ll recall, GCISD is the district that fired principal James Whitfield – the district’s first black principal – over CRT. They didn’t stop there. Tammy Nakamura, one of the two school board members bought by the hard-right Patriot Mobile PAC, accessed his file and then bragged about it at a Republican conference. She seems delightful. If that wasn’t enough, they recently put forward a new policy that bans any mention of gender fluidity, or the “don’t say trans” policy. I just knew Texas wouldn’t let Florida grab all the headlines over their bigotry and idiocy. To create this awesome new policy, the GCISD board hired Cantey Hanger, a law firm that not only boasts a founder who was a Grand Cyclops (I’m not making this up) of the Fort Worth KKK back in the day but currently employs Tim Davis, chief counsel for the Tarrant County GOP.

Commissioner's Court: During their 34-minute meeting last week, Chris Hill put Public Comments at the end of the meeting. Not only is this disrespectful to people who’d like to voice their concerns but it’s perhaps illegal since citizens don’t have the opportunity to comment on agenda items before the court votes on them. I mean, it’s not as if commissioners offer any opportunities for those of us who don’t fund their campaigns to speak with them any other way. This was exemplified by Josh Murray, whose been holding up a mirror to their antics for several years now. He wanted to speak on an agenda item but only was allowed to talk after they’d voted on it. Hill tried to walk back this dereliction of democracy by holding another vote but that’s purely performative.

McKinney City Council: Long-time readers of this column may recall that I raised the issue of electioneering at the Gay Library with the council a while back. They finally got around to discussing my concerns which included harassment of potential voters and an excessive number of signs. Although the Forces of Light (Justin Beller, Dr. Gere Feltus, and Patrick Cloutier) did their best to try and make voting a pleasant experience for everyone, the others concluded that making Code Enforcement insist Republicans act like decent human beings was a bridge too far and decided against doing anything.
