What if protecting parental rights means jeopardizing the safety and autonomy of LGBTQ+ students? In this thought-provoking episode of the 3E Podcast, guest host Christina Pipkin, known as Pip, tackles the contentious topic of Project 2025's Suggested Mandates for Parental Rights in Education. We dissect the implications of these proposed mandates on LGBTQ+ student issues, scrutinizing the push to define sex solely in biological terms and the call to remove LGBTQ+ initiatives from U.S. foreign policy. Pip raises critical questions about the exclusion of the LGBTQ+ community from human rights protections, urging listeners to consider the broader consequences of these controversial policies.

As we navigate through the heated debate surrounding parental rights in education, we delve into the essence of Project 2025's Parents' Bill of Rights. This episode explores the tension between parental authority and the need for schools to support LGBTQ+ students, touching on issues of gender identity and curriculum content. Pip challenges us to rethink the balance between parental control and the rights of every child to thrive, highlighting the potential dangers of elevating parental rights above all. Tune in for a compelling discussion that sheds light on one of the most polarizing issues in education today.

Almitra Berry Dr. Berry

Hi there! I'm Dr. Almitra Berry, but people call me “Doc.”. I'm an educator, author, consultant, and podcast host with a passion for making our schools work better for all students.

Over my 30-year career in education, I've gathered a wealth of experiences and insights that I love sharing. My work focuses on educational equity, especially for culturally and linguistically diverse learners in urban school districts.

I've written professional learning books, consulted with school districts across the country, and spoken at numerous conferences. But what I enjoy most is connecting with people who care about improving education for marginalized learners.

On my podcast, I enjoy having meaningful conversations about education. I bring a mix of expertise, real-world stories, and a touch of humor to discussions on topics like curriculum reform, leadership in education, creating inclusive classrooms, and the politics of education.
