Linda McMahon has been confirmed as President Trump’s Secretary of Education, marking a major step toward fixing America’s failing education system. A successful business leader and former Small Business Administration chief, McMahon will bring real-world experience to an education system that has been bogged down by bureaucratic waste and leftist indoctrination.
McMahon has made it clear that she will overhaul the Department of Education, cutting unnecessary government control and prioritizing direct investments in teachers and students. “We need to reorient education toward success, not bureaucracy,” she stated in her confirmation hearing. The Trump administration has already started streamlining the department, cutting wasteful programs, and reducing federal overreach, ensuring that parents and local communities—not Washington elites—have control over their children’s education.
Trump has been firm that the federal government should not dictate how states run their schools, and McMahon will lead efforts to return power to the states. While the department cannot be fully dismantled without Congress, its influence will be drastically reduced, making way for school choice, vocational training, and policies that put students first.
Despite liberal opposition, McMahon is committed to ensuring that American education fosters excellence, innovation, and patriotism. “America will be number one in education again,” Trump declared, as McMahon takes charge to implement a bold, pro-student, pro-America agenda.
