Precious McKesson was selected as a special assistant in the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Department of Education’s Office of Communication and Outreach, a position not subject to Senate confirmation.
- Jane Kleeb, chairwoman of the Nebraska Democratic Party, supported the hiring of McKesson and said she would live up to the responsibility of being a presidential appointee.
- “Precious is a transformational leader,” “She will bring the same energy, excitement, and commitment to the people to the position at the Department of Education.”
- McKesson, who previously worked as a staffer for the Biden campaign in Nebraska , cast the state’s 2nd Congressional District’s electoral vote in the 2020 election. She is the first woman of color to cast an electoral ballot in Nebraska and the first woman to cast an electoral ballot for a Democrat.
- McKesson still serves as the chairwoman of the Black Caucus for the NDP but will soon pass that role on to someone else, according to Kleeb. McKesson previously worked as the finance director and constituency director for the NDP.
- CRT continues to divide the United States as some GOP-led states, including Texas, ban the theory from being taught at public institutions. Others, such as Illinois and New Jersey, have moved toward passing measures affirming or requiring instruction in CRT or related concepts.
