Education Secretary Linda McMahon indicated that she was unaware of the Tulsa Race Massacre under questioning about ... Donald Trump's "illegal" restrictions on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in U.S. schools.

During a Wednesday hearing before the House Committee on Education & Workforce, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) said that the Trump administration had "undoubtedly revived the culture of racism."

"They've made it clear that open attacks on Black and brown and other marginalized communities is not just tolerated, but it's encouraged," Lee told McMahon. "So let's talk about so-called illegal DEI, as you all have called it, a phrase you continually bring up that I'm still unclear on, especially after three federal judges have preliminarily ruled that your illegal DEI guidance is likely unconstitutional and unenforceable. Illegal, as it were."

"Would you say that it would be an illegal DEI for a lesson plan on the Tulsa Race Massacre?" "I'd have to get back to you on that," McMahon replied. "Do you know what the Tulsa Race Massacre is?" Lee wondered. "I'd like to look into it more and get back to you on it," McMahon stated.
