Le fact-check

❌ FAKE The letter itself is authentic — but the corrections are not from Harvard University. The original letter was published on May 5, 2025, on X by Linda McMahon, United States Secretary of Education herself, to Harvard: https://x.com/EDSecMcMahon/status/1919517481313427594 However, the annotated version circulating online does not come from Harvard, nor were the edits AI-generated. They originated from a false claim made by user @DougWahl1 on 06/05/25: https://x.com/DougWahl1/status/1919871292875973114 Who copied the corrections made in an earlier post by @danielluo_pi, published the same day: https://x.com/danielluo_pi/status/1919607148436234717 The rest is predictable — it went viral and is now everywhere: on all social platforms, and of course, here on LinkedIn.
