Donald Trump is Destroying Public Education -- And That's The Whole Point

This week, Maggie Gehlsen-Burnett & Mallory Hagan sit down with Dr. Candice Duvieilh to discuss the Trump administration’s negative impact on education, Project 2025’s influence on sex ed, and why without education, nothing else works. Dr. Candice Duvieilh is a proud North Alabamian, a devoted toddler mom, and the wife of a disabled veteran. She is a government accounting expert and former public school teacher. She has a BA in Public Policy, a Master’s in Public Administration, and a Doctorate in Education… and now she’s running to represent North Alabama in the 5th Congressional District. * Follow us on Instagram* Follow us on TikTok* Follow us on Substack* Subscribe on YouTube* Spotify* Apple PodcastsBe sure to give our podcast network, The Siren, a follow!Chapters List:00:00 Introduction and Initial Outrage06:19 Epstein Update12:19 Welcome Dr. Candice Duvieilh14:36 The Role of Education in Society17:35 Dismantling Public Education and School Choice20:32 Impact of Rural Communities on Education23:41 The Dangers of Limited Sex Education26:27 Personal Motivations and Political Engagement35:35 The Need for Holistic Sex Education37:02 Teen Pregnancy and Societal Implications38:29 Cultural Pressures and Reproductive Rights40:52 The Reality of Sexuality and Pleasure42:44 Women’s Autonomy and Societal Control43:34 Running for Office: A Personal Journey47:08 Flipping the District: A Political Strategy51:33 Engaging with the Community and Future PlansProducts of the Week:Cremo Body WashConair Infinity Pro Hair Dryer This is a public episode.
