Linda McMahon Pushes Education Decentralization Plan in South Dakota While Federal Judge Blocks College Data Collection

Linda McMahon, current United States Secretary of Education and former Administrator of the Small Business Administration, visited Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this week to promote the Trump administrations plan to eliminate the federal Department of Education. According to The Dakota Scout, McMahon spoke at McCrossan Boys Ranch alongside Governor Larry Rhoden as part of a 50-state tour building support for shifting education funding and authority back to states through block grants. She emphasized that the goal is to end the department, allowing states to decide how to spend federal dollars from programs like Title One and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act without Washington bureaucracy interference. The Dakota Scout reports McMahon stating you know where you need to spend your money. In related education news, a federal judge in Boston blocked the administrations effort to collect detailed race and sex data on college applicants, admitted students, and enrollees from public universities. The Associated Press notes that McMahon required this disaggregated data retroactively for seven years, with potential penalties under Title Four of the Higher Education Act for non-compliance. The judge called the rollout rushed and chaotic, though acknowledging the governments authority to gather such information. McMahon also addressed political rumors in a recent Planet Tyrus interview, firmly ruling out any presidential run. Wrestling Headlines and SEScoops report her saying no repeatedly, adding she is very happy with her current role, reflecting on her journey from a girl in New Bern, North Carolina, to government service. During her prior tenure as Small Business Administration Administrator from 2017 to 2019, she oversaw disaster relief and workforce initiatives like the Pledge to Americas Workers.
