The U.S. Department of Education brought its History Rocks! tour to Brookfield Central High School on Friday, where Deputy Assistant Secretary Murray Bessette delivered a brief, nonpolitical speech amid about two dozen outside protesters and some parents keeping children home. The cross-country tour, launched by Secretary Linda McMahon in December, partners with groups including Turning Point USA and Hillsdale College, prompting debate over partisan influence despite the department saying it funds the events.
