Summary
Linda McMahon, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, previously resigned from the Connecticut State Board of Education in 2009 after falsely claiming she held a degree in education.
McMahon, co-founder of WWE and former head of the Small Business Administration, holds a degree in French and a teaching certificate.
Her nomination has drawn criticism for her lack of public education experience and alignment with Trump’s policies, including rolling back LGBTQ+ protections under Title IX.
If confirmed, McMahon will oversee contentious student loan forgiveness battles and Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education.
This is all they do. Install people who have been purposely, and deservedly, told no before. Everyone super unqualified.
