**Podcast Episode: Unpacking Linda McMahon's Bold Education Reforms**
Join host Mortimer in this captivating episode of the Secretary of Education podcast as we delve into the dynamic tenure of Linda McMahon, the U.S. Secretary of Education under President Trump. Known for her audacious approach, McMahon is reshaping the educational landscape, and we're here to dissect the latest developments straight from the Department's newsroom, Education Week, and Powers Law Firm.
In a clash over parental rights, California filed a lawsuit against Secretary McMahon and the Department on February 11, demanding $4.9 billion in federal funding. The contention? The Department's assertion that California's handling of students' gender transitions violates FERPA. As the debate intensifies and reaches the Supreme Court, conservative voices advocate for transparency, while opponents fear overreach.
Explore the impact of the Trump administration's updated guidance on school prayer, released on February 5. Teachers now have the liberty to pray with students, sparking discussions on religious freedom and the fine line between personal and professional boundaries.
Higher education is also in the spotlight as Secretary McMahon engages with university leaders to implement sweeping reforms. With six interagency agreements, her focus on dismantling federal bureaucracy promises to empower states, prioritize student outcomes, and reduce college costs. The proposed One Big Beautiful Bill Act aims to simplify student loans, aligning with McMahon's vision of affordability and accountability.
This episode also highlights key appointments, including ex-Governor Phil Bryant and Tennessee Rep Mark White joining the National Assessment Governing Board, and Kimberly Richey's confirmation for civil rights. Discover how McMahon's wrestler-to-Secretary trajectory fuels her determination to confront "woke" education head-on.
