Trump nominates Linda McMahon to lead Department of Education
kcra.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, will oversee efforts to shift funding from public schools to school choice programs. Trump plans to cut funding for schools teaching critical race theory and gender ideology. Currently, the Department of Education manages federal student loans and financial aid for millions. Critics express concerns about the implications of expanding school choice on education quality and funding.
