Some believe there is a growing trend, particularly among younger women, to dress more revealingly than ever before, leaving many women concerned that showing more skin and wearing less in public has become socially acceptable and normalized. These detractors claim women are choosing provocative wardrobe choices for the wrong reasons: to attract men and online followers. However, women who are choosing to wear the clothing in question claim they should have the freedom to wear what they want and shouldn't be "slut shamed" or forced to censor their wardrobe. They claim women who have a problem with it are from an older generation with an even older sense of fashion and style. Nicole, a social media fashion influencer and wardrobe stylist, says showing more skin is all about female empowerment. Radio show host Andrea Kaye and Kent State University Associate Professor Dr. Suzy D'Enbeau weigh in, explaining why they disagree and believe dressing in a revealing way is not actually empowering to women at all. Plus, Dr. Phil meets Nicole, who claims she was denied entry at Disneyworld due to her outfit. She says when she posted a video of her story online, she was "slut shamed" and even received death threats because of her outfit. Dr. Phil also speaks with Marie, a mother who says she is concerned about her 19-year-old daughter's safety due to what she wears. Are people just asking for more modesty, or is this another case of telling someone else how to live their life?

Sadly, interest in becoming a teacher or remaining a teacher is reportedly the worst in our nation's history. Dr. Phil tackles the teacher shortage, the "Great Resignation" of teachers, low student standards, teacher frustrations, and new laws in states like Arizona that put teachers with non-traditional backgrounds in classrooms. Other states are pushing universities to expedite teacher certifications, and some districts are hiring student teachers who are still enrolled in college to be full-time first-year teachers. Dr. Phil and his panel of guests also discuss possible solutions to the country's falling student performance in math, science and reading according to OECD's PISA 2018 international world ranking of developed nations.
