  • Lindsey Burke on Winding Down the Department of Education, Stopping the Education Funding Spending Spree, & Expanding Education Freedom
    2025/03/13

    While awaiting President Trump’s specific plans to dissolve the U.S. Department of Education and “send education back to the states,” congressional committees are holding hearings to explore the policy possibilities. In this episode, Dr. Lindsey Burke, Director of the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation, and I reflect on our recent congressional testimonies before a U.S. House Appropriation subcommittee. We discuss the federal government’s failure to improve student outcomes and provide our frank takes on questionable claims made during the hearing. We also propose policy solutions, including block granting federal funding and empowering families with education freedom.

  • May Mailman on President Trump’s Actions to Protect Women’s Sports, Spaces, & Dignity
    2025/02/27

    When asked “Should we keep men out of women’s sports?” the vast majority of the American people respond with a resounding “Yes!” May Mailman, Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Policy Strategist, joins Freedom to Learn to discuss the recent executive orders related to protecting women's sports and spaces and restoring biological truth. We explore the implications of these orders, public support for reality and common sense, and the recently-initiated federal Title IX investigations into states (including Maine!), school districts, and athletic associations. The discussion highlights the importance of defining sex and the need for legislative, as well as executive action.
