Secretary, US Department of Education

This event has been rescheduled to May 14th.

US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has been given an unusual mandate: to end the department she has been tasked with overseeing. As out of the ordinary as that might be, it is the right mission, because the Constitution gives the federal government no authority to govern in education, and the department’s practical track record has been terrible.

Join us for a very special fireside chat—days before the department celebrates its 45th birthday—where we will discuss why the department needs to go, how that can be done, the steps taken so far, and what American education would look like without a federal Department of Education.

Reception to follow.
