The president’s overreach is aimed at provoking conflict & fear. It’s estimated that $134m will be spent deploying the National Guard + Marines to America’s second largest city. A continued commitment to nonviolence will reflect how outrageous this admin’s actions are. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/10/t...

Anti-public education extremists are dismantling equity efforts in our schools, prioritizing politics over students' futures. It’s disheartening to see leaders who once supported DEI now aligning with agendas that undermine those very values.
Trump’s Education Pick Bankrolled Efforts to Support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Linda McMahon’s foundation has donated millions to groups that advocated for DEI programs, lauded affirmative action, and criticized Donald Trump.

For example: How do we ensure that our tax dollars aren't misused, and go to the kids who need them most?

Critical questions from the Senator: If private schools take federal money for vouchers, will they be allowed to turn away students based on disability or other protected status? McMahon is unfortunately unwilling to answer.
