  • "U.S. Education Secretary Drives Trump's Agenda: Boosts Charter Funding, Targets Universities, and Reduces Federal Role"

    "U.S. Education Secretary Drives Trump's Agenda: Boosts Charter Funding, Targets Universities, and Reduces Federal Role"
    2025/05/29
    U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon has made several significant announcements in recent days, continuing the Trump administration's efforts to reshape America's educational landscape.

    On May 16, 2025, Secretary McMahon announced a substantial increase in funding for charter schools, adding $60 million to the Charter Schools Program for the current fiscal year. This raises the program's total budget to $500 million. She also launched a new initiative called the Model Development and Dissemination Grant Program, designed to showcase successful strategies from innovative charter schools across the country. McMahon described these actions as part of the administration's commitment to "education freedom" and creating "life-changing opportunities for students and families."

    In more recent news, on May 28, McMahon stated during a CNBC interview that universities should continue their research "as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish." These comments came amid an ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and Harvard University, where the government has begun pulling federal contracts and funding, accusing the institution of failing to comply with Title VI anti-discrimination laws.

    That same day, McMahon expressed concerns about foreign students, suggesting some are "creating unrest on campuses" and that there are professors "teaching ideology more than subject matter." These statements coincided with reports that the State Department has paused processing foreign students' visas and is developing new social media vetting procedures before granting approvals.

    During a May 21 appearance before a House appropriations subcommittee, McMahon offered few specifics about planned budget cuts at the Education Department. When questioned by Democratic lawmakers about following congressional directives for fund allocation, McMahon affirmed, "We will abide by the law." The department has already reduced its staff by nearly half as what McMahon previously described as a "first step" toward eliminating the department entirely, though such action would require congressional approval.

    The Education Department under McMahon has opened numerous discrimination investigations threatening to withdraw federal funding from educational institutions that don't adhere to presidential orders regarding diversity programs and transgender athlete participation. The department has also canceled various contracts and grants it claims violate presidential directives, despite congressional allocation of funds for these programs. These actions have prompted multiple lawsuits from education advocates.

    Since her confirmation in March 2025, McMahon has consistently emphasized her commitment to implementing President Trump's education agenda, focusing on reducing federal involvement in education and increasing state and local control.

  • Empowering Education Choice: McMahon Expands Charter School Funding and Prioritizes Returning Power to States

    Empowering Education Choice: McMahon Expands Charter School Funding and Prioritizes Returning Power to States
    2025/05/27
    U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has made significant headlines in recent days as she continues to implement the Trump administration's education agenda. On May 16, 2025, McMahon announced a substantial $60 million increase to the Charter Schools Program funding for fiscal year 2025, bringing the program's total budget to $500 million. This announcement came as National Charter Schools Week 2025 concluded, highlighting the administration's commitment to expanding education choice.

    In addition to the funding increase, McMahon unveiled a new Model Development and Dissemination Grant Program aimed at showcasing successful strategies from innovative charter schools across the country. The Department also released Notices Inviting Applications for five additional 2025 competitions under the Charter Schools Program, including State Entities, State Facilities Incentive Grants, and Charter School Developers programs.

    On May 20, McMahon announced her first three proposed priorities for Department of Education discretionary grants: evidence-based literacy, expanding education choice, and returning education to the states. These priorities have been published in the Federal Register for a 30-day public comment period and represent the fastest a Secretary of Education has released proposed grant priorities in the first year of an administration.

    The following day, on May 21, McMahon appeared before a House appropriations subcommittee to defend the Trump administration's proposed 15.3% cut (approximately $12 billion) to the Education Department's budget for fiscal year 2026. During this testimony, McMahon stated that these budget cuts are essential for scaling down the agency, asserting, "Our aim is to minimize federal bureaucracy, conserve taxpayer funds, and empower states that are more attuned to their local education needs."

    The hearing became tense at times, with Democratic lawmakers pressing McMahon on the consequences of the administration's decision to lay off nearly half of the department's staff and the feasibility of transferring many of its responsibilities to state and local governments. Representative Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut accused McMahon of "recklessly incapacitating the department you lead" and of violating the Constitution.

    When questioned about whether the Education Department would spend funds as directed by Congress if lawmakers don't accept Trump's plans, McMahon assured, "We will abide by the law." She also emphasized that one of President Trump's educational priorities is ensuring that "no student is trapped in a failing school" and that he is "completely dedicated" to offering school choice to parents.

    Under McMahon's leadership, the Education Department has also become a strict enforcer of the president's social agenda, opening numerous discrimination investigations that threaten to pull federal dollars from educational institutions that don't adhere to presidential orders regarding diversity programming and transgender athlete participation.

  • Empowering Education: U.S. Secretary McMahon Outlines Priorities for Transformative Change

    Empowering Education: U.S. Secretary McMahon Outlines Priorities for Transformative Change
    2025/05/25
    U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has been making headlines this week with several significant policy announcements and a contentious budget hearing on Capitol Hill.

    On May 20, 2025, McMahon announced her first three proposed priorities for Department of Education discretionary grants: evidence-based literacy, expanding education choice, and returning education to the states. These priorities, now published in the Federal Register for a 30-day public comment period, represent the fastest a Secretary of Education has released proposed grant priorities in the first year of an administration. McMahon emphasized that discretionary grants will focus on "meaningful learning and expanding choice, not divisive ideologies and unproven strategies."

    The following day, on May 21, McMahon defended the Trump administration's proposed 15% cut to the Education Department's budget before a House appropriations committee. The hearing grew tense as Democrats pressed McMahon on the consequences of layoffs affecting nearly half of the department's staff and major program cuts. Representative Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut accused McMahon of "recklessly incapacitating the department" and "usurping Congress's authority."

    During the hearing, McMahon clarified that the administration plans to preserve and flat-fund Title I, Part A, which provides grants to school districts serving children from low-income families. However, two grant programs for migrant students totaling $428 million annually are slated for elimination. When asked whether migrant students should continue to have access to public education, McMahon responded, "in some instances, yes."

    Republicans at the hearing welcomed the department's emphasis on school choice. McMahon stated that "President Trump is absolutely focused on making sure that children have the right to an education that is best for them and that parents should be deciding where their children can go to school."

    This focus on school choice was reinforced by McMahon's May 16 announcement of increased funding for charter schools. The Department of Education will add $60 million to the Charter Schools Program this year, raising its total budget to $500 million. McMahon also announced a new Model Development and Dissemination Grant Program aimed at showcasing successful charter school strategies.

    Since her confirmation in March 2025, McMahon has described her role as leading a "transformational time" at the Education Department. She stated that her decisions will be "driven by a commitment to support meaningful learning and empower our most important stakeholders: students, families, and teachers." McMahon has pledged to advance "education freedom" and empower states and districts rather than issuing "bureaucratic edicts from Washington, D.C."
