Donald Trump had a mandate from his voters to make sure that white privilege continues to thrive in America and regardless of his normal ineptitude, he’s delivering on that demand.
A disturbingly massive a part of his cupboard is unqualified, unreasonable, and sure unvetted past their stage of orange obsequiousness. Linda McMahon was named Secretary of Schooling regardless of by no means having labored for a faculty or faculty district a day in her life. Her solely skillset is getting filthy wealthy from her days as a WWE govt and Vince McMahon’s spouse.
Based on NewsOne, Rep. Summer time Lee (D-Pa.) not too long ago introduced McMahon’s unworthiness to mild throughout a congressional listening to the place McMahon was requested to outline particularly which components of historical past and schooling represent “DEI”. Lee requested some quite simple questions which might be straightforward to reply and, properly…
“Would it not be ‘unlawful DEI’ for a lesson plan on the Tulsa Race Bloodbath?” Lee requested McMahon.
“I’d must get again to you on that,” McMahon stated.
“Have you learnt what the Tulsa Race Bloodbath is?” Lee requested.
“I’d wish to look into it extra and get again to you on it,” McMahon replied.
Sure, this really occurred. Peep the video beneath.
McMahon wasn’t requested about what number of Black folks have been killed by racist white people, she wasn’t requested what date the Tulsa Bloodbath occurred (though the 104th anniversary was simply 5 days in the past), and he or she wasn’t requested what the title of the city that was burned to the bottom. She was merely requested if she knew what it was in probably the most normal phrases doable.
Linda McMahon had no clue. She needs to be embarrassed however she’s not and that’s the issue. Rep. Lee took to Twitter (we’re by no means calling it “X”) to additional voice her incredulity with McMahon’s responses:
Lee spoke extra on the difficulty throughout an interview with The Grio:
Even when Secretary McMahon was higher versed in American historical past, there isn’t a doubt her division would additional try and whitewash historical past and guarantee college students don’t have entry to the info,” Lee informed TheGrio, including that the Trump administration’s “lack of information, denial of historical past, and open racism” doesn’t imply college students throughout the nation “needs to be disadvantaged of studying alternatives or entry to a top quality schooling.”
America is cooked.
