McKinney ISD parents have identified 282 books in the McKinney ISD school libraries that contain obscene sexually explicit passages and images. Some graphic novels even have images depicting sexual acts with minors.

At the April 2022 MISD school board meeting, board president, Amy Dankel, had McKinney police forcibly remove multiple individuals merely for expressing their support for removal of the books by clapping, cheering, and commenting in response to public comments. Ms. Dankel did not enforce these rules against anyone clapping or cheering in support of keeping the books.

We filed a lawsuit against Amy Dankel and her deputy administrator, Robert Montgomery, for their egregious violation of First Amendment rights. Dankel and Montgomery attempted to have the lawsuit dismissed on the grounds of qualified immunity. The federal judge recently ruled in our favor and is allowing the case against Dankel and Montgomery to proceed to discovery. Because our plaintiffs are unable to afford legal fees on their own, we need your help to take discovery to prove our case against these tyrants. Please consider donating to hold Dankel and Montgomery accountable.

This lawsuit, "Gonzales v. Dankel," had a noticeable effect during the May 31st special board meeting regarding the Board's witch hunt against Chad Green, who is the only conservative board member taking a stand to have these books removed. Public participants were once again allowed to clap, cheer, and make comments in response to the speeches made during the public comment segment of the meeting.

We are planning to file another lawsuit targeted toward removal of the books themselves. These two lawsuits will take a lot of work and will be expensive to litigate. If you want to keep the tyrants on the MISD school board in check and protect our kids from continued exposure to sexually explicit material at school, we need your help to fight back.

Our initial goal is to raise $20,000 to get these civil rights lawsuits off the ground. Your donation goes to our foundation, Frontline Lawyers USA (non-profit 501(c)(3) status pending). We have retained an independent accountant, Jim Herblin, to provide accountability for how your donations are used. For transparency, we will post a detailed invoice so that you can see how your donations were used. Thank you for helping keep our kids safe from sexual grooming.
