Is Justice Really Blind?
Tonight, Dr. Phil explores how reverse discrimination and DEI initiatives have affected some Americans. Brooks Warden is a plaintiff in a lawsuit alleging students and school administrators in the Austin Independent School District in Texas violated his civil rights. He claims he suffered repeated racial harassment since age 12 when he put on a MAGA hat in a predominantly Hispanic and liberal middle school. Brooks is joined by his father, Monte Warden and their attorney, Mark Trammell, who discuss why they're appealing their case to the Supreme Court. Lois Herrera, an accomplished former executive at the Department of Education in NYC, was at the center of a discrimination lawsuit against the agency. Herrara, who had had a master's degree from Harvard, was abruptly demoted and replaced by person of color with a GED. She later settled with courts for $700,000. Attorney Seth Berenzweig offers advice to those who have suffered backlash from DEI policies.

Gone Without Goodbye: The Truth About Suicide
Suicide touches every family, every community, and too often leaves loved ones with more questions than answers. Every 11 minutes, an American takes their own life. It's the leading cause of death among our youth. Why is nobody listening when our children are screaming for help from the edge? In harrowing cases, children have reached a desperate breaking point, crying out for intervention—yet some schools remained silent and the adults in the room failed to act. How do these tragedies unfold, and what does it say about the systems meant to protect our youth? Dr. Phil will peel back the layers of a devastating failure and search for answers that might save many more lives.
