House Dem to McMahon: Why Is Education Department ‘Taking Its Lead From Jim Crow’?

  • On Wednesday, Education Secretary Linda McMahon faced intense questioning from Rep. Summer Lee in a congressional hearing in Washington, D.C.
  • The hearing occurred amid the Trump administration's effort to cut the Education Department budget by 15% and dismantle DEI initiatives via executive orders.
  • During the hearing, Lee challenged McMahon on which history lessons would be deemed illegal, exposing McMahon's limited knowledge with an impromptu quiz on Black history.
  • McMahon emphasized that colleges should share some responsibility for student loan defaults, supported adjustments in funding priorities, and faced criticism from Democrats over the suspension of $1 billion in mental health funding and proposed cuts to TRIO programs.
  • The exchanges highlighted partisan divides over education priorities, with Republicans supporting budget cuts and school choice, while Democrats warned of harm to underserved students and historical understanding.
