Trump Taps McMahon for Education Secretary, Plans School Choice Expansion and DOE Elimination
Dec 2, 2024, 11:00 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Linda McMahon, former CEO of WWE, as the new Education Secretary, signaling a potential overhaul of the American education system. McMahon's appointment is seen as a move to bring innovation, passion for children, and freedom back to education, according to Rep. Burgess Owens. Trump's administration aims to fundamentally reform how schools operate, focusing on expanding school choice to every student. There has been speculation about the elimination of the Department of Education, with Trump promising to dismantle it, as noted by Mairead Elordi in The Daily Wire. Additionally, Trump has tapped Chris Rufo to help 'de-wokify' Ivy League institutions receiving federal funding, aiming to shift education away from what some describe as 'communist' ideologies. McMahon's past involvement with WWE has raised questions about her suitability for the role, given previous concerns about the impact of her wrestling empire on children.
