Senator Elizabeth Warren confronted Education Secretary Linda McMahon over her policies that Warren claims harm public education and expose low-income students to fraud. McMahon confidently rejected Warren's criticisms, labeling them as unfounded and fearmongering. She defended the Federal Student Aid Officeâs effectiveness under her leadership, asserting that it was left in disarray by previous administrations. McMahon expressed an unwillingness to participate in a potentially unproductive forum while standing firm on her administration's commitment to reform and accountability in educational outcomes.
McMahon stated, "I do not have faith that your forum would elicit a productive dialogue... will not stand by and allow false hyper-political narratives..."
Warren claimed McMahon took "a chain saw to public education" and accused her of exposing vulnerable students to "scammers and bad actors."
McMahon labeled Warren's accusations "fearmongering" and defended the Federal Student Aid Office as "fully functional... managing a federal loan system that was 'left in disarray.'"
She emphasized, "Under the Trump Administration, FSA is performing efficiently, empowering students and families... holding institutions accountable for outcomes."
