Just hours after announcing a Friday visit by U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon to one of its elementary schools, Fairfield Public Schools told families the event was canceled due to community backlash. This Friday, McKinley Elementary School will welcome a very special guest, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, as part of the History Rocks! Neither the U.S. Department of Education nor Fairfield Public Schools responded to requests for comment. “Elementary schools are not appropriate venues for programming tied to national political agendas or affiliated advocacy groups. “At the same time, many families were deeply troubled that Fairfield Public Schools agreed to host this event at all,” the four RTM members said.
