Milton Friedman championed education freedom, school choice, and less bureaucracy.

Twenty years after his passing, we continue the fight to ensure every student has access to the best possible education.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

It is a betrayal to American families that Washington politicians are rushing to protect a failing status quo in education when roughly 30% of our students can read proficiently ⬇️

Last week, the Department of Education announced that its rescinding various disparate impact regulations. This is a huge, huge deal, a quiet but extremely consequential decision, and one that's long overdue!

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

Federal education funding existed long before the Department of Education. States received those resources then, and they can continue to receive them without federal bureaucracy standing in the way.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

It may be summer, but there’s no break from our mission: RETURNING EDUCATION TO THE STATES!

The Pledge of Allegiance isn’t just a routine – it’s a reminder of the values that unite us.

When students understand what our flag stands for, they gain a deeper appreciation for the freedoms we share. 🇺🇸

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

It’s simple: receive federal funding, comply with federal law.

College admissions should be based on merit. I commend @CivilRights for common sense enforcement of our anti-discrimination laws.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

This is nothing more than Midtown elitism at its finest doing the bidding for teachers’ unions.

If @business would like to get their facts straight, give us a ring.

Education Guidelines👇🏻

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

Today marks a major step by Congressional leaders to cement the Trump Administration’s historic reforms to right-size the federal role in education.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

Teachers are the heartbeat of our schools, and I was pleased to meet some great ones in Dallas, Texas yesterday!

It’s always a privilege to hear directly from the educators shaping the next generation.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

Universities have an obligation to report their financial relationships with foreign entities, so it only makes sense that national security experts @StateDept should analyze foreign gift and contract data that will help secure our universities.

Our partnership established that connection, @RepBaumgartner's bill will cement it — ensuring that State has all the critical information to strengthen oversight and expose undisclosed foreign influence.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

Everybody wants this.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

There is no reason that ED should serve as our nation’s 5th largest bank.

@USTreasury, America’s premier financial institution, would make far more sense to manage our $1.7 trillion student loan portfolio.

@RepWalberg’s historic bill will make this commonsense step a reality.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

We stopped $2 billion in taxpayer dollars from going out the door by requiring ID verification, blocking fraudsters and ghost students from abusing student federal student aid.

A major win for the Trump administration and VP’s @WHFraudTF!

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

For too long, recurring patterns of sexual abuse and harassment by school officials have gone unchecked.

Under the leadership of @POTUS and @EdSecMcMahon, ED is taking decisive action to ensure our schools are safe environments for all students.

[House Committee on Education & Workforce @EdWorkforceCmte]

Students should come before bureaucracy.

Chairman @RepWalberg announced the Committee's "Less Bureaucracy, Better Education" legislative package to codify President Trump's plan to right-size the Department of Education.

The package streamlines government, strengthens accountability, and keeps the focus on improving outcomes for students—not growing Washington.

Today, the @EdWorkforceCmte took a historic step to reduce federal education bureaucracy and introduced legislation to codify 10 of our vital partnerships with agencies better equipped to serve students, families, and taxpayers!
