Teachers union criticizes Linda McMahon's nomination as education secretary

The National Education Association criticized Donald Trump's nomination of Linda McMahon for education secretary, calling her "unqualified." They argue she lacks experience in public education and is likely to push for the elimination of the Department of Education. McMahon, a former Small Business Administration head and WWE co-founder, has limited experience in education. The union's president stated that her appointment reflects Trump's disregard for students' futures and public schools. Trump has pledged to cut federal funding for schools that promote certain controversial topics. His administration's education policies are expected to focus on reducing the Department's influence and reallocating funds to private schools.
