Linda McMahon vows crackdown on teachers sexually harassing students: 'Must end'

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon announced that the federal government intends to crack down on sexual misconduct involving adults in positions of authority in schools across the country, criticizing school districts for reassigning rather than firing accused teachers. She noted that the Department of Education opened a Title IX investigation into the Los Angeles Unified School District regarding an agreement allowing reassignment instead of termination. McMahon warned that schools failing to comply with federal requirements risk enforcement action.
