As the partial government shutdown persists amid partisan gridlock in Washington D.C., Education Department Secretary Linda McMahon pointed out that the shutdown demonstrates that her department is not necessary.

She noted that schools are still functioning.

“The Democrat government shutdown has forced agencies to evaluate what federal responsibilities are truly critical for the American people. Two weeks in, millions of American students are still going to school, teachers are getting paid, and schools are operating as normal. It confirms what the President has said: the federal Department of Education is unnecessary, and we should return education to the states,” McMahon noted in a post on X.
