Linda McMahon's Senate confirmation hearing as education secretary revealed her commitment to deferring to Congress and the law. She voiced strong support for parental rights and school choice, advocating for vouchers that could remove students from public schools. While she claimed this approach benefits poor and Black students, she failed to address the concerns regarding the impact on those who remain within the public education system. The implications of a federal push towards private schooling raise concerns about equitable access to education and support for all students, particularly those with disabilities.
McMahon emphasized that school choice is essential for improving educational opportunities for poor and Black students, yet did not account for those remaining in public schools.
