89% Informative

Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon called teaching “ one of the most noble professions that we have in our country” But now the department she wants to lead has abruptly canceled more than $600 million in grants designed to prepare teachers.

The cancellations include a $3.38 million grant to Sacred Heart University in Fairfield , Connecticut , where McMahon serves on the Board of Trustees .

A diverse teacher workforce has been shown to have positive effects on students, including higher math and reading scores, regardless of students’ race.

The education department’s move to pull funding for the programs came ahead of its dear colleague’ letter putting districts on notice that any efforts that could be perceived as encouraging DEI would not be tolerated.
