An Open Letter

To: Sen. Alsobrooks, Sen. Van Hollen

From: A constituent in Easton, MD

March 1, 2025

Please vote NO on Linda McMachon’s nomination for Secretary of Education. Please encourage your colleagues in the Senate to do the same. I am Deaf, and I have Deaf children. Linda McMahon made several statements that show that she does not understand or support the role of public education in ensuring the rights or well-being of students with disabilities. When Senator Susan Collins asked Ms. McMahon how laws like IDEA would be enforced if the Department of Education was closed, she replied, “...Might it [IDEA] be better served in a different agency? I'm not sure…And the concerns for disabilities and health issues with students may very well rest better within an agency that has more oversight of all of those.” AAPD believes that Linda McMahon’s nomination threatens the well-being and education of all students, especially students with disabilities. She does not have the experience needed to lead this agency. Under her leadership, disabled students will be deprioritized and underserved.
