Pre-compliance is the quiet killer of queer visibility in schools—don’t hand them your silence.

In this charged episode, we unpack three major 2025 court rulings—from the U.S. to the U.K.—and what they do and don’t mean for LGBTQ+ teachers. If you’re feeling pressure to erase queer content, change your classroom, or withdraw support for trans students, stop. You are not alone—and you're likely still protected.

This episode is for queer educators, LGBTQ+ allies, and anyone navigating Pride Month in hostile legal terrain.

• Learn why it’s not your job to interpret court decisions or preemptively censor yourself
• Get 7 practical, legally sound strategies to protect yourself and your students
• Hear real talk on fear, policy, and how not to lose your classroom’s soul
