The professional wrestling promoter-turned-secretary of education had no idea what one key acronym stood for.
Linda McMahon, best known for founding World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., has said she ‘wholeheartedly supports’ Trump’s plans to abolish the Education Department.
“President Trump believes that the bureaucracy in Washington should be abolished so that we can return education to the states, where it belongs,” Linda McMahon wrote.
Linda McMahon said the U.S. government's legacy of forcing Native American children into white assimilation schools is “a key example” of why education should be locally run.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Executive orders from President Donald Trump have threatened to withhold federal funding from schools that are not “patriotic.”
Educators are sounding the alarm about Donald Trump’s choice to put the former WWE chief executive at the helm of public education.
The National Education Association says Donald Trump's nomination of the professional wrestling mogul shows he “could not care less” about students.
The WWE co-founder ran the Small Business Administration during Trump's first term.
"I want to address the 800-pound gorilla in the room that no one has asked you so far."
A decade ago, Trump literally tussled with a wrestling champ. The people who were there are still shocked he did it.
