‘Final Mission’ for Education Dept. Begins Now, McMahon Says
SHARE

Linda McMahon, the newly appointed secretary of education, wasted no time in making her intentions clear. In her first act as secretary, she instructed her staff to prepare for the department’s “final mission,” signaling a drastic overhaul that aligns with President Trump’s goal of shutting down the department altogether.

The email sent by Ms. McMahon shortly after her swearing-in ceremony on Monday sent shockwaves through the education community. She spoke of a looming “disruption” to the education system that would have a profound impact, describing the changes as daunting but necessary. Her message called on the department’s employees to see this as an opportunity to serve future generations of students in a memorable way.

President Trump has been vocal about his desire to eliminate the Department of Education, referring to it as a “big con job.” While closing the department would require congressional approval, Ms. McMahon’s email hinted at a significant shift in the department’s focus and operations.

During her confirmation hearing, Ms. McMahon outlined a bold vision for education, emphasizing vocational programs in high schools, increased school options, and protection from overwhelming college debt. Her email to department staff reiterated these priorities, emphasizing the importance of restoring patriotic education and state oversight in the education system.

However, not everyone is on board with Ms. McMahon’s approach. Some education advocates, like Becky Pringle of the National Education Association, expressed concerns about rolling back protections for students with disabilities and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. They fear a return to a time when certain students were left behind.

Ms. McMahon characterized the Department of Education as a failed experiment, citing over $1 trillion spent since its inception in 1980. She emphasized the need for a historic overhaul aligned with President Trump’s agenda, prompting speculation among agency officials about potential staff reductions or resignations.

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, pointed out discrepancies between Ms. McMahon’s testimony and her email, raising questions about the administration’s direction. She highlighted the importance of protecting federal funding for education and urged lawmakers to support public education initiatives.

As the education community grapples with uncertainty and potential changes, it remains to be seen how Ms. McMahon’s leadership will shape the future of American education. The public’s response, as indicated by recent polls, suggests widespread opposition to dismantling the Department of Education. With stakeholders on all sides voicing their concerns, the path forward for education policy under the Trump administration remains uncertain.
