Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose the Supreme Court's Mahmoud v. Taylor decision as a calculated attack on LGBTQ+ rights disguised as religious freedom protection. They reveal the stunning hypocrisy of conservatives who demand curriculum control over critical race theory but cry "religious liberty" when elected school boards include LGBTQ+ content. The hosts break down how this ruling lets parents carve up public school curricula based on personal beliefs, asking what happens when racist families demand opt-outs from slavery education. They explore the soul-crushing impact on LGBTQ+ children whose classmates disappear on inclusion days, and warn that this is the opening move in a long-term strategy to reverse marriage equality. A devastating look at how the far-right uses the "meat slicer" approach—taking one thin slice at a time until constitutional rights disappear entirely.
