Trump nominates Linda McMahon to lead Department of Education
wmur.com —
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon to lead the Department of Education. This move aligns with his goal to return education control to the states and potentially dismantle the federal department. McMahon, a former small business administrator and wrestling executive, will oversee efforts to shift funding and programs from federal to state control. Trump plans to cut funding for schools teaching critical race theory and promote universal school choice. Currently, the Department of Education manages federal student loans and financial aid for millions. Critics express concerns about the implications of expanding school choice and the potential impact on public education.
