On Wednesday, sparks were flying to Capitol Hill while education minister Linda McMahon faced Rev. Bonnie Watson Coleman, dn.j., in a fire exchange during a Houses In the last conflict over the effort of Trump’s administration to dismantle Department of Education.
The word war began when Watson Coleman asked, “Do you believe that there is an illegal discrimination of people who are black or brown and other types of discrimination in jobs and education in this country?”
“I think it still exists in some areas,” McMahon replied.

Watson Coleman pressed further: “Then you can tell me why the Civic Rights Office and Department of Education Is he decimated? “
McMahon replied, “Well, not decomposed. We have reduced its size. However, we take over the backlog of cases that have remained since the biden administration.”
Watson Coleman became visibly frustrated and accused the Rasno biased administration in immigration and education policies, saying that his actions were “favored and priority of white in color.”
In a glittering reprimand, Watson Coleman said, “Your rhetoric means nothing to me. What does something to me are the procedures of this administration. I tell you, the education department is one of the most important departments in this country. And you should feel shameful with the administration that does not give a curse.”

McMahon, staying composed, replied, “I am Secretary of Education which Congress was approved for this agency. And I was named President. And I serve his pleasure under his term. So, the direction of his administration is what I will follow. “
Exchange arrived as part of a major hearing in which McMahon exhibited President Donald TrumpBudget Proposal for Education 2026, which requires a A reduction of $ 12 billion Department of Education, a decrease of 15%.
McMahon described her work as a “final mission” of the department: to interrupt him and return the supervision of education to the states, parents and local educators.
“We focus on literacy. What we see in these results is the failure of our students to learn to read,” McMahon said. “We lost the basics.”
President Reverend Robert Aderholt, R-Ala. Praised McMahon’s approach, noting: “Despite the three trillion dollars in federal consumption of education since 1980, the student achievement has not improved. The answer is no longer money. It is more responsibility and local control.”
The plan combines 18 federal programs in one $ 2 billion support to states. Democrats marked the proposal as an effort at the back of federal support to public schools.
At student loans, McMahon said the department began to recover repayments after years of pause and confusion from the Biden era.

“Since we started the collections in May, we recovered almost $ 100 million,” she said.
She also defended staff cuts and administrative restructuring, stating: “We deliver all our legal requirements with fewer people and lower directing costs.”
The Republicans on a subcontractor divided their support for Charter Schools and the selection of school. McMahon, in agreement, pointed to the proposed increase in the funding of the charter school in the amount of $ 60 million.
“We have about one million students on waiting lists at the charter school,” she said. “Parents should decide where their children can go to school and educate the best.”
Democrats also criticized McMahon for not defending his education in early childhood, especially Head Start, although the program technically falls under the Health and Human Services Department.
“Each Head Start program in the country has three days of financing. This is not someone else’s problem. These are America’s children,” said envoy Josh Harder, D-Calif.

McMahon replied: “The sooner we can start education, the better, but I do not believe that the federal government is responsible for everyone. I can lead the countries here.”
Trump’s administration also strongly defended its position outside the hearing room.

“On the topic of corruption, let’s not forget that the Ministry of Education was created by President Carter in an attempt to win voters,” said Savannah Newhouse, the press secretary of the Department of Education, in a statement to Fox News Digital after exchange.
“Since then, we have spent more than three trillion dollars, pretending that the department is necessary because learning results have not improved,” she continued. “While the congress woman from New Jersey is in her five minutes of glory, Trump’s administration is working to improve students’ results and ensures that US families have access to quality education they deserve.”
