Education Secretary Linda McMahon Faces Grilling on Capitol Hill. In a highly anticipated hearing, lawmakers on Capitol Hill put Education Secretary Linda McMahon under the microscope, pressing her for answers on two pressing issues: the protection of students' civil rights and the drastic cuts to federal education spending. As the Biden administration's top education official, McMahon was forced to defend the administration's policies, particularly in light of recent controversies surrounding the rights of students with disabilities and concerns over the impact of budget cuts on already-strained school districts. With lawmakers from both parties weighing in, McMahon's testimony is likely to provide insight into the administration's priorities and the future of federal education policy.
In her first appearance on Capitol Hill this year, lawmakers questioned Education Secretary Linda McMahon about students' civil rights and cuts to federal education spending.
