McMahon Declines to Say If Black History Classes Are Allowed Under Trump Order The comment came during an exchange with Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., about Trump's executive order on "radical indoctrination."

New: Linda McMahon, potential U.S. Education Secretary, declined to say with certainty that Black history classes in K-12 schools are permitted under Trump's EOs.

What 'Boy-Friendly' Changes Look Like at Every Grade Level An all-boys school gave students more autonomy and time for socializing. The results have been powerful.

Elizabeth set out to find out what schools can do to better motivate and engage boys. She visited an all-boys school that has made "boy-friendly" changes to the school day, with big results. One change was as simple as adding an extra optional morning recess. www.edweek.org/leadership/w...
