Linda McMahon confirmed as education secretary

By Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist The U.S. Senate voted to confirm Linda McMahon as the Secretary of Education on Monday evening, setting in motion the full force of the Trump administration’s plans to end diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and radical gender ideology in schools, as well as empower states and localities to make their own education decisions. McMahon, who previously led the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term, was confirmed 51-45. The vote followed testimony where McMahon signposted goals of the Trump administration to significantly reduce the bureaucratic control of education from a federal level and rework federal education dollars into a system that allows states and localities to make decisions. The Trump administration has made clear th...

U.S. Senate panel advances Linda McMahon’s nomination to Dept. of Education to the floor

By Samantha-Jo Roth | Washington Examiner A key panel advanced the nomination of Linda McMahon, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Education Department, voting 12-11 to send her nomination to the Senate floor.

Trump’s Dept. of Education sees early wins ahead of Linda McMahon confirmation hearing

By Katherine Hamilton | Breitbart President Donald Trump’s Department of Education (DOE) has seen a burst of early victories since Jan. 20 and ahead of Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon’s confirmation hearing on Thursday morning. Ultimately, the 45th and 47th president wants to see the DOE abolished and more power sent back to states and communities, and he has quipped that he wants McMahon “to put herself out of a job.” But for the time being, the DOE has feverishly tackled diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, gender ideology, antisemitism, and wasteful spending that been woven into the fabric of the American education system.

Democrats’ baseless attacks on Linda McMahon’s education experience fall a part with one look at her record

By Casey Ryan | Commentary, The Federalist A significant lie that opponents of President Donald Trump spew regarding his decision to nominate Linda McMahon to lead the Department of Education is that she does not have enough experience in the subject matter. The National Education Association (NEA) claimed that she is “grossly unqualified” the same day Trump nominated her. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., blasted McMahon as “unqualified” the next day. These statements could not be further from the truth. While McMahon has garnered notable success shepherding World Wrestling Entertainment into a global phenomenon and leading the Small Business Administration (SBA) in Trump’s first term, she also has a proven track record as an advocate for education in her home state. Former Connec...
