GrapevineAuthor: NBC News
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 mothers 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 isnt just a story about one broken family. Its 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.
