In a statement, Trump expressed confidence in McMahon&#8217;s ability to advocate for educational \u2064choice, stating that she \u2062will empower \u2063parents to make \u200cdecisions regarding their children&#8217;s education. <\/p>\n<p>McMahon \u200chas \u2062prior experience serving on the Connecticut Board\u2064 of Education and aims to shift\u2062 educational responsibilities \u200bback to the states, reflecting\u200d Trump&#8217;s philosophy of limiting federal involvement. During her tenure in the Small Business Administration,\u2063 McMahon advocated for practical education alternatives, \u200dincluding vocational and technical\u200c training, \u200brather than solely focusing on traditional four-year college \u200cdegrees.

McMahon&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">philosophy emphasizes providing diverse educational opportunities<\/a> to suit various \u200ccareer paths, as the existing framework\u2064 has not effectively closed achievement gaps in the past decades.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President-elect Donald Trump announced that former Small Business Administration chief Linda McMahon will be his pick for education secretary.<\/p>\n<p>McMahon is a co-founder of World Wrestling Entertainment, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-taps-former-wwe-ceo-linda-mcmahon-serve-education-secretary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is my great honor to announce that Linda McMahon, former Administrator of the Small Business Administration, will be the United States Secretary of Education,&rdquo; Trump said in a statement <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/libsoftiktok\/status\/1859059186098655428?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted to X<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As Secretary of Education, Linda will fight tirelessly to expand &lsquo;Choice&rsquo; to every State in America, and empower parents to make the best Education decisions for their families,&rdquo; the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Linda served for two years on the Connecticut Board of Education, where she was one of fifteen members overseeing all Public Education in the State, including its Technical High School system,&rdquo; the statement said.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Trump, who has talked in the past of disbanding the department, said McMahon will fit with his philosophy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-lefty-bill-maher-throws-trump-dangerous-failing-american-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">limiting<\/a> federal reach.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: Trump announced Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Linda has been a fierce advocate for parents&rsquo; rights&rdquo; &#128293;&#128293;&#128293; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FJR6CBBjPr\">pic.twitter.com\/FJR6CBBjPr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/libsoftiktok\/status\/1859059186098655428?\">November 20, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Linda will use her decades of Leadership experience, and deep understanding of both Education and Business, to empower the next Generation of American Students and Workers, and make America Number One in Education in the World,&rdquo; Trump&rsquo;s statement said. &ldquo;We will send Education BACK TO THE STATES, and Linda will spearhead that effort.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Betsy DeVos, who headed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-silver-lining-pandemic-demand-education-reform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">department<\/a> in Trump&rsquo;s first term, said that it &ldquo;doesn&rsquo;t really add any value anywhere,&rdquo; according to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Take the power away from the Department of Education, block-grant those funds, continue to invest in education, but get it down to a much more local level where better decisions are made on behalf of students,&rdquo; DeVos said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Apprenticeship Programs are a pathway to successful careers.
