Secretary of Education Linda McMahon Visits Rochester During Tour
McMahon said federal education funding would continue as she toured vocational labs and met faculty at Rochester Community and Technical College.
- On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon visited Rochester Community and Technical College as part of her "Returning Education to the States" tour, marking the 44th stop on her 50-state trip.
- McMahon, who previously founded World Wrestling Entertainment, described the Department of Education as a "pass-through entity" meant to "empower families" by shifting control to state leaders rather than federal mandates.
- During the stop, McMahon toured vocational programs including a police officer training simulator alongside Minnesota Congressman Brad Finstad and Rep. Pete Stauber, discussing a "graduation-to-employment pipeline" to address workforce shortages.
- Critics argue the tour rests on a "false premise," with recent reports alleging the agency has become inefficient; the department previously canceled a federal grant for Rochester Public Schools citing diversity programs.
- McMahon is expected to continue her tour in New Hampshire with six states remaining before reaching her 50-state goal, as the visit occurs weeks before midterm elections where Stauber and Finstad face challengers.
