Linda McMahon unsure if teaching Black history flouts Trump’s anti-DEI policy

Education secretary said if you're giving facts on both sides' of Tulsa race massacre and Ruby Bridges, it wouldn't be DEI

Testifying before the House of Representatives' education and workforce subcommittee, McMahon appeared uncertain of her facts when confronted by Summer Lee, a Democratic representative from Pennsylvania. Lee asked her about the 1921 Tulsa race massacre and Ruby Bridges, a civil rights workers who as a six-year-old, braved a screaming mob to become the first Black child to attend a previously all-white school.
