Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s school visit drew protests Friday from parents and teachers opposing federal civics curriculum grants championed by conservative think tanks.
Demonstrators outside the Ohio campus waved signs disputing grant language on parental rights and historical interpretation, chanting slogans captured by local television.
District officials said the visit followed a competitive application process and did not obligate teachers to adopt every supplemental workbook offered.
Fact-checkers verified protest attendance in the hundreds, not thousands claimed by exaggerated aerial photographs shot at wider angles.
McMahon did not cancel the roundtable; participants included students selected by essay contest rather than the protesting club.
Similar visits in other states have triggered parallel disputes over how federal money shapes classroom narratives about constitutional history.
