美国教育部长琳达·麦克马洪批评美国全国教育协会（NEA）将优先事项放在弹劾唐纳德·特朗普上，而非全国范围内学生在阅读和数学上的普遍不及格情况。麦克马洪概述了特朗普政府的多项举措，包括在全国范围内打击被指控性虐待的教师，以及采取有力措施防止超过20亿美元的K-12教育欺诈行为，旨在改善教育成果并保护纳税人的钱。

美国教育部长琳达·麦克马洪周日表示，联邦政府致力于“严厉打击”全国各学校中教师、教职工和其他处于权威职位的成年人所涉的性不当行为。
在一次采访中，麦克马洪谴责了她所说的某些学区对被指控对学生实施不当行为的教师仅进行重新调配而非解雇的做法。
“而且这些不当行为甚至不会被记入他们的档案，因此我们也一直在对此类行为采取严厉打击措施，”她在接受美国有线电视新闻网《国情咨文》节目采访时说道。
麦克马洪援引美国教育部2004年的一份文献综述称，约有十分之一的八年级至十一年级学生报告过教育工作者的性不当行为。该综述采用了涵盖身体、言语和视觉行为的宽泛定义；教育部提醒，不应将性不当行为与狭义的法律定义的性虐待划等号。

据ProPublica和KQED的报道，2019年至2025年间，加州教师资质委员会的官员在学区认定至少67名教育工作者对学生实施了性不当行为后，并未吊销他们的执照。
这些教育工作者中至少有14人后来被其他学区聘用，另有至少12人截至今年5月仍在教育行业工作。
另外，教育部于5月对洛杉矶联合学区展开了第九章调查。

“我们的学校必须保护美国的儿童。家长们永远不应该需要去怀疑他们孩子的学校是否雇佣并保护着性侵犯者，”麦克马洪在早前的一份声明中说道。“接受联邦资助的学校有责任保护学生、如实报告性不当行为并遵守法律。”
教育部表示，其正在调查与洛杉矶联合教师工会达成的一项协议，称该协议似乎要求对被可信地指控存在某些不当行为的教师进行重新调配，而非解雇或立即将其调离面向学生的岗位，同时调查他们是否存在与学生发生性或浪漫关系、制作儿童色情制品或未报告疑似儿童虐待等行为。
洛杉矶联合学区和洛杉矶联合教师工会对教育部的描述提出异议，称重新调配意味着员工在调查期间被送回家并远离学生，而非被调往其他教室或学校。他们表示，当指控被证实后，解雇仍是可能的选择。

麦克马洪在信中表示，未能遵守联邦《第九章》和《初等和中等教育法》相关要求的学校可能面临执法行动，包括可能终止其获得的联邦援助，并承诺在全国范围内“严厉打击”处于权威职位的成年人所涉的性不当行为。
“毫无疑问，教育部将全面执行联邦法律，并动用其掌握的所有资源保护儿童免受性侵犯者的伤害，”她在当时写道。“那些允许性不当行为发生的学校，可能会被终止联邦政府提供的相应联邦援助。”
“全国范围内学校中性虐待的这种流行病必须终结，”麦克马洪补充道。

Education Secretary Linda McMahon criticizes the National Education Association (NEA) for prioritizing Donald Trump’s impeachment over widespread student failures in reading and math nationwide. McMahon outlines the Trump administration’s initiatives, including a nationwide crackdown on teachers accused of sexual abuse and robust efforts to prevent over $2 billion in K-12 education fraud, aiming to improve educational outcomes and protect taxpayer dollars.

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon on Sunday said the federal government is committed to “cracking down” on sexual misconduct involving teachers, staff and other adults in positions of authority in schools across the country.
In an interview, McMahon denounced what she described as school districts reassigning, rather than firing, teachers accused of misconduct involving students.
“And it’s not part of their record or anything, so we have really been cracking down on that as well,” she said during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
McMahon, citing a 2004 Education Department literature review, said about one in 10 eighth- through 11th-grade students reported sexual misconduct by an educator. The review used a broad definition that included physical, verbal and visual conduct; the department cautioned that sexual misconduct should not be equated with the narrower legal definition of sexual abuse.

California officials at the state’s Commission on Teacher Credentialing did not revoke the licenses of at least 67 educators after school districts determined they committed sexual misconduct against students from 2019 through 2025, according to ProPublica and KQED.
At least 14 of those educators were later hired by other school districts and at least 12 of those were still working in education as of May, according to the reports.
Separately, the Department of Education in May opened a Title IX investigation into the Los Angeles Unified School District.

“Our schools must protect America’s children. Parents should never have to wonder whether their kids’ school employs and protects sexual predators,” McMahon said in a previous statement.”Schools that receive federal funding have a duty to protect students, report sexual misconduct honestly, and follow the law.”
The department said it was investigating an agreement with the United Teachers of Los Angeles that it said appeared to require teachers credibly accused of certain misconduct to be reassigned, rather than terminated or immediately removed from student-facing roles, while officials investigated allegations they engaged in conduct including having a sexual or romantic relationship with a student, creating child pornography or failing to report suspected child abuse.
LAUSD and UTLA disputed the department’s characterization, saying reassignment means an employee is sent home and kept away from students while an investigation proceeds, not transferred to another classroom or school. They said termination remains possible when allegations are substantiated.

McMahon said in the letter that schools that fail to comply with federal requirements under Title IX and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act risk enforcement action, including the potential termination of applicable federal assistance, pledging a nationwide effort to “crack down” on sexual misconduct by adults in positions of authority.
“Make no mistake, the Department will fully enforce federal law and employ every resource at its disposal to protect children from sexual predators,” she wrote at the time. “Those schools that allow sexual misconduct to occur risk the termination of applicable federal assistance provided by the federal government.”
“This epidemic of nationwide sexual abuse in our schools must end,” McMahon added.
