During a congressional hearing, Education Secretary Linda McMahon was questioned by Rep. Summer Lee regarding educational content related to the Tulsa Race Massacre and Ruby Bridges. McMahon's responses indicated a lack of awareness about these pivotal historical topics, as she deferred questions about their inclusion in school curriculums by stating she would need to look into them further. This exchange highlighted her evasion of critical discussions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in education, especially amidst the backdrop of Trump administration policies targeting such initiatives.
"Would it be 'illegal DEI' for a lesson plan on the Tulsa Race Massacre?" Lee asked McMahon during the Wednesday panel.
"I'd have to get back to you on that," McMahon said.
"I haven't read that," McMahon responded.
"If you have specific examples, you'd like to -" McMahon countered.
