Episode Description from the Publisher

Religious parents don't have to sit down and shut up. Dr. Phil explains the Supreme Court ruling that backs them. A Christian father is suing the Lake Washington School District in Washington State after it denied his religious opt-out request from LGBTQ lessons, Pride Month instruction, and pronoun requirements at Henry David Thoreau Elementary School. Dr. Phil breaks down the lawsuit, Alliance Defending Freedom's role, Washington's 2024 LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum law, the Supreme Court's 2025 Mahmoud v. Taylor ruling on parental rights and religious freedom, and the Religious Liberty Commission report on how parents can respond when a school says no. Know your rights, use your rights. This is The Real Story.  This episode is brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text ASK PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.CarShield is how you move from chaos to control.
