Episode Details

Two Connecticut school districts, Thomaston and Fairfield, cancelled US Secretary of Education Linda McMahons visits due to community backlash. McMahon, a Greenwich resident, replaced Miguel Cardona, from Meriden, who led the department under President Joe Biden. School leaders cited safety and keeping politics out of classrooms as reasons. McMahon advocates for basics and school choice, while Cardona, a former teacher and principal, championed equity and mental health pros in schools. The contrasting views of these two secretaries highlight deep divides in education goals.
