Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the federal shutdown offers evidence that her agency is “unnecessary.”

In a social media post on Wednesday, McMahon said the shutdown has forced agencies to evaluate what work is really needed. She made the comment days after her department started firing hundreds of workers amid mass layoffs across the government.

“Two weeks in, millions of American students are still going to school, teachers are getting paid, and schools are operating as normal,” McMahon said.

    Yes, a socialist worker’s republic should be built in its place, but the American people still have a lot of learning to do before anything like that can be achieved. Unfortunately for them, that learning will come from experiencing at home the utter barbarity that their overlords mostly only practiced abroad until now.
