Linda McMahon's "History Rocks!" school visits canceled in 4 locations, facing organized protests in 3 others [View all]

A planned tour across the US by Education Secretary Linda McMahon is off to a rocky start as school parents either cancel her visits or plan protests against the Donald Trump Cabinet member.

According to the Washington Post, McMahon's "History Rocks!" school visits have already been canceled in at least four locations — including stops in Massachusetts, Alabama, and two in McMahon's home state of Connecticut. Additional events in Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Illinois are facing organized protests.

The core problem: the tour is being sponsored exclusively by conservative and religious organizations, creating an obvious partisan tenor that contradicts claims of nonpartisanship.

The America 250 Civics Education Coalition that backs the tour is led by the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump advocacy group, and includes Turning Point USA, Moms for Liberty, and the Heritage Foundation. The coalition deliberately excluded liberal groups and prominent nonpartisan civics organizations like Civx Now, which boasts more than 450 member organizations.
