On July 10, Education Secretary Linda McMahon issued a Dear Colleague letter warning K–12 schools they risk losing federal funds if they fail to police sexual misconduct by employees.
“The Department has observed a troubling and recurring pattern in schools across the Nation of credible reports of sexual abuse and harassment by adults in positions of authority going uninvestigated, institutional cultures that protect employees over students, and administrative indifference that allows predatory conduct to fester,” she wrote.
The letter came as McMahon is defending herself against similar allegations. Decades earlier, she failed to protect minors from sexual abuse at the hands of an employee at World Wrestling Entertainment, alleges a lawsuit filed in late 2024. McMahon, alongside her husband, Vince McMahon, led WWE in various executive roles from 1980 until she stepped down to run for Senate in 2009.
