Can schools silence parents for speaking up? Parker Jackson, staff attorney at the Goldwater Institute, joins Steve Gruber to discuss a striking new case out of Wyoming, where a grieving mother faced retaliation from her school simply for questioning officials. The court ultimately ruled her speech is protected under the First Amendment, but the case highlights a growing pattern of schools attempting to push back against parental voices. Parker breaks down why anti-SLAPP protections are crucial and what this means for parents nationwide.
