Education Secretary Linda McMahon Faces Scrutiny on Capitol Hill In a highly anticipated hearing, Education Secretary Linda McMahon made her first appearance on Capitol Hill this year, facing tough questions from lawmakers about the Biden administration's handling of students' civil rights and the impact of federal education spending cuts. As concerns grow over the erosion of protections for vulnerable students, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community and students with disabilities, McMahon was pressed to explain the administration's stance on these critical issues.
