Summer torches Trump’s Edu Secretary
John,
Summer just got done grilling Trump’s Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, on the administration’s assault on our public education and attempt to erase Black history from our textbooks…humiliating is an understatement.

Today, in the Education & Workforce Committee that Summer sits on, bumbling Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, best known for her work in the World Wrestling Federation came to explain the Education Department’s “priorities” under Donald Trump.
But we already know what those priorities are: defunding and shutting down the Dept. of Education.
If you stand with Summer to defend our public education, send her a donation right now — $5, $15, whatever you can — to help her keep fighting back against this administration!
Summer wasn’t going to let Secretary McMahon come to Congress without exposing her lies and holding this administration accountable for their war on public education.
While this right-wing extremist Dept. of Education tries to ban anything they consider “illegal DEI,” Summer asked McMahon what exactly that would include. Here’s some of the things that Linda McMahon couldn’t confirm or deny is “illegal DEI”:
- Joe Biden winning the 2020 election
- The Tulsa race massacre
- Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to integrate public schools in the South
In fact, Secretary McMahon didn’t even know who Ruby Bridges is or what the Tulsa race massacre was! Seems like we should be funding public education after all and Secretary McMahon should be the first person in the classroom — and the last person near our Dept. of Education.
While some of our leaders capitulate to Republicans to appease right-wing donors, Summer only fights for her constituents and community. Now more than ever, we need strong progressives like Summer to lead the Democratic Party against the Trump administration and towards a better future for us all.

Together, we can make sure our histories are never erased.
In Solidarity,
