Segment 1 (Around the Country - Updates): In this segment, Suzanne discusses updates and organizational news related to Parents' Rights in Education (PRE). Suzanne emphasizes the importance of official PRE membership and highlights the option for active members to choose a local affiliate group. She also mentions the formation of small grassroots groups within school districts and encourages listeners to become affiliate leaders.
Events: The podcast announces upcoming events, including Zoom training calls and "The Great Northwest Awakening" event in Ridgefield, Washington.
Legislation/Lawsuit: Suzanne discusses recent developments in North Carolina, where Senate Bill 49, known as the "Parents Bill of Rights," was passed. The bill includes provisions related to the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools and parental consent for healthcare. Opposition and challenges to the bill are mentioned.
The podcast also covers Policy 5756 in New Jersey, which previously restricted schools from informing parents about their transgender-identifying children. The policy is being reconsidered in several districts following clarification that it is not mandatory.
Segment 2 (Parents’ Rights at the Federal Level): In this segment, Suzanne focuses on the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), a federal law protecting parents' rights in public schools.

The segment provides guidance on how parents can exercise their rights and report violations.
Segment 3 (Affiliate): Suzanne addresses PRE Affiliates and encourages them to share information about their school districts. She mentions the Leadership Center, a resource for affiliates, and provides links for submitting videos, press coverage, news articles, and information on legislation related to parents' rights.
