Teachers union criticizes Trump's education secretary pick Linda McMahon as unqualified

The National Education Association criticized Donald Trump's nomination of Linda McMahon for education secretary, calling her "unqualified." They argue that her selection reflects Trump's disregard for students and public education. McMahon, a former Small Business Administration head and WWE co-founder, has limited experience in public education. The union compared her to Betsy DeVos, a controversial figure from Trump's first term. Trump aims to reshape the Department of Education, pledging to cut federal funding for schools that promote certain content. The department oversees significant federal student loans and services for vulnerable student populations.
