Trump Education Secretary McMahon crashes House Democrats’ press conference

The Minister of Education, Linda McMahon, made unexpected statements in the spirit of non -partisan in the press conference of Democrats in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, but she did not answer when pressing the timing of the Ministry of Energy.

McMahon stopped the press conference of Democrats outside the building of the Ministry of Education, which promised to dismantle with President Donald Trump’s executive order. Before that, she met MP Mark Tankano, the extension of California, and at least ten other Democratic members to discuss concerns about the latter of the last workers. The administration announced last month that it had started a decrease in the strength mission, which affected nearly 50 % of its working power.

McMahon said on Wednesday: “I just want to express my gratitude to all these people who came today until we get to know an open discussion about what I think is one of the most important things that we can discuss about our work in our country, and this is the teaching of our youth.” As Tankano’s actor said when we end the meeting, which I thought was incredibly appropriate, and that is that this is not a party issue. This is related to the children of America, which is the next generation to the generation after that. And if we want to have our leaders, we need to be at any time, and we want to focus on it.

She said, “I think, and I know that the president also believes in this, because the best education is that this closest to the child, where teachers and parents, local supervisors – can work together and local school boards to develop the curricula of these students – the best way to happen.” “Funding will continue from the United States government through the programs, that is, this has already been created, and I will look forward to continuing to work with members of congress on both sides of the corridor. I welcome the fact that these people came today and expressed their concerns and exchange here.

When McMahon concluded her statements and tried to convert the event to the Democrats, Tankano interfered with a question for the secretary.

“When will this building be closed?” He asked her in front of news cameras.

McMahon said: “Well, we have already conducted our discussions, so thank you all,” McMahon said.

The Ministry of Education has been greatly dismantled in the new Trump executive order

“As you see, she does not answer the question when the Ministry of Education will close,” Tantano told reporters. “Now she does not have a plan. Although she does not have a plan, she continues to consider shooting at people, limit and reflect a decrease in strength.”

Tankano told correspondents that during their meeting, McMahon expressed “ambiguity” regarding the date of the Trump campaign to close the Ministry of Education. He said she pledged to consult with the appropriate statute.

Tankano also noted that McMahon said during the Senate confirmation session that she would consult with Congress as far as the lights will be to extinguish the administration.

Congress established the Ministry of Education in 1979 and will likely need to agree to dismantle it. Republicans have put forward legislation to achieve this goal.

Trump signed an executive order on March 20 to greatly expand the scope of the section while maintaining some of its basic functions. It was not clear whether the administration would continue to manage the 1.6 trillion dollar student loan portfolio, as the banking language language can be transferred to a more convenient entity. The privatization seems to remain on the table for management.

“I must say that the minister indicated more than once, that before transferring any jobs from the administration to the other departments and the other place that was carefully looking for what the statute allows to do,” Tankano said on Wednesday. “This was the refreshing information that the Secretary conveyed to all of us, and we certainly hope that you will adhere to what we told us today.”

“I think part of today’s story is, as you know, [the] The president’s campaign promised to close this section, which is a lot of fluff. that it. You cannot, it’s illegal. He cannot do this under the law. “
