Can education really be returned to the states? Linda McMahon’s tour explains how it happens

Education Secretary Linda McMahon has launched a nationwide tour to promote returning control of education to states, beginning in Louisiana, which has shown notable literacy improvements. The tour highlights local decision-making and resource sharing, amid efforts by President Trump to dismantle the US Department of Education. McMahon addresses concerns over special education funding and emphasises state flexibility, while legal and congressional challenges continue over the department’s future.
