Education Secretary Won't Say If She Knows What The Tulsa Race Massacre Is

“I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it,” Linda McMahon told a House committee.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon deflected when asked if she knew what the Tulsa Race Massacre was during a Wednesday congressional hearing, telling lawmakers that she intends to “look into it more.”
McMahon’s response comes as Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) pressed her about history lessons that would be considered “illegal DEI” by the Trump administration. (DEI stands for diversity, equity and inclusion and has been used by Republicans as shorthand for initiatives addressing race and gender, among other topics.) The comments are also the latest to suggest that McMahon — a former pro wrestling executive who’s had little education policy experience — could use a lesson or two herself.
“Would it be ‘illegal DEI’ for a lesson plan on the Tulsa Race Massacre?” Lee asked McMahon during the Wednesday panel.
“I’d have to get back to you on that,” McMahon said.
