News 12 in The Bronx reported today that former WWE President Linda McMahon, now The U.S. Education Secretary had a planned visit at McKinley Elementary School tomorrow in Connecticut designed to help celebrate America's 250th birthday but it was canceled after push back from concerned parents.
McMahon was scheduled to visit the school as part of the U.S. Department of Education's "History Rocks!" tour.
Within hours of the visit being announced, Fairfield Superintendent Michael Testani relayed that McMahon's visit had been canceled following phone calls and emails from upset parents.
"A lot of the students here need the special education services that the secretary of education tried to stop," parent Jill Alward told News 12. "Hearing she was coming here and going to be celebrated was quite unfortunate."
The Department of Education issued a statement to CTInsider.com, blaming left-wing politics on the cancellation.
