A federal agency that many American believe should be dismantled will have a new leader come January. Linda McMahon, one of the leaders of the Trump transition team, will become Secretary of Education.
McMahon headed up the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term. Now 76 years old, she is best known for making World Wrestling Entertainment a multibillion-dollar business.
McMahon is the chairwoman of the board of the America First Policy Institute, a conservative think tank. She also is chairwoman of the Center for the American Worker for the institute, and was chairwoman of the America First Action SuperPAC, and America First Policy, LLC.
She will replace Miguel Cardona, who has been the Secretary of Education during the Biden Administration and who has pushed the woke and gender-bending agenda into classrooms and gyms across America’s schools.
In April, he published a new rule that changed the meaning of Title IV to ban “all forms of sex discrimination,” which would include forcing schools to allow boys into girls’ locker rooms and to compete on girls’ teams.
Trump says he will end that transgender crusade pushed by the Biden Administration.
The Department of Education, created by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, now has 4,400 employees and a $68 billion budget that uses taxpayer dollars. The federal government disseminates a portion of the money to the states, but much of it is used to support a growing bureaucracy.
So the woman who made billions by selling into to the basest instincts of Americans is now in charge of national education policy. What a sick joke. Another FU by Trump to show just how audacious he can be. Neil Postman was right back in 1985.
If you want to see a clear picture of just how debased culture has become in the US, don’t look at the liberal agenda, look at WWE, and the “entertainment” they feed to their viewers. Deplorable.
The Department of Education has a 68 billion dollar budget? What do we get for that? Apparently, not much as the quality of public education in the United States has been steadily declining since the inception of this bloated bureaucracy.
