Trump picked Linda McMahon to lead the Education Department with a clear mission: dismantling the Left’s indoctrination machine.
At 76, this former WWE executive brings business sense to a bloated bureaucracy that’s ripe for elimination.
Now Trump’s WWE Ally just took control of the Education Department, and Democrats are panicking.
It’s about time we return education control to the states where it belongs
In a move that signals major changes ahead for America’s education system, the Senate has confirmed former WWE executive Linda McMahon as Education Secretary with a narrow 51-45 vote.
The confirmation puts McMahon in charge of a department that President Trump has openly pledged to dismantle, creating what many conservatives see as a long-overdue opportunity to return education control to the states.
At 76, McMahon brings her business acumen to a role that desperately needs a shake-up after decades of liberal mismanagement and federal overreach into our children’s classrooms.
The billionaire former WWE CEO’s confirmation comes as President Trump doubles down on his campaign promise to shut down the Education Department entirely – a bold move that would mark a historic shift in federal education policy.
McMahon’s limited education experience – consisting of one year on Connecticut’s state board of education and a trustee position at Sacred Heart University – has drawn criticism from the Left, but her supporters argue that her executive experience is exactly what’s needed to reform a bloated bureaucracy.
During her confirmation hearing, McMahon attempted to soften Trump’s hardline stance, focusing instead on making the department “operate more efficiently” rather than immediately defunding and dismantling.
The Education Department, created in 1979, currently oversees a massive $1.6 trillion federal student loan portfolio and distributes billions in funding to K-12 schools nationwide.
Trump’s administration has already begun implementing sweeping changes, including the elimination of radical diversity programs and transgender accommodation policies that have no place in our schools.
The White House had reportedly considered an executive order directing McMahon to slash the agency’s operations to the legal minimum while pursuing its complete shutdown through Congress.
McMahon’s allies successfully urged the administration to hold off on such dramatic action until after her confirmation, demonstrating political savvy in navigating Washington, D.C.’s treacherous waters.
Under Trump’s leadership, the Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk, has already terminated numerous “woke” contracts and drastically reduced staffing at the Institute of Education Sciences.
These cuts represent just the beginning of a broader conservative vision to eliminate federal overreach in education and return control to states and local communities.
The Education Department currently provides about 14% of public school budgets – a significant sum that McMahon will need to manage carefully during any potential transition or restructuring.
McMahon’s history as a Trump ally and her previous service as Small Business Administration chief suggest she’ll work effectively to implement the President’s America First education agenda.
The Democrat Party’s predictable opposition, led by Chuck Schumer, shows just how desperate they are to maintain their grip on our education system.
McMahon faces the delicate task of balancing immediate reforms with longer-term plans for the department’s potential dissolution – all while ensuring that America’s students don’t suffer in the process.
Her business background could prove invaluable in streamlining operations and eliminating waste, even as the department’s ultimate fate remains uncertain.
The confirmation represents a crucial step toward restoring sanity to American education and ending decades of liberal indoctrination in our government schools.
