Trump’s pick to head Dept. of Ed is former CEO of wrestling business
Gov. Bill Lee was quick to indicate his support for Donald Trump’s selection of Linda McMahon to head the U.S. Department of Education.
This is not exactly surprising. Despite Trump calling Lee a “RINO,” Lee trips all over himself to curry favor with Trump.
Plus, Lee and Trump (and McMahon) have the same goal: Privatizing public schools by way of voucher schemes.
Peter Greene notes of McMahon:
Unlike former secretary Betsy DeVos or some of the contenders like Tiffany Justice and Erika Donalds, McMahon has not spent most of her adult life trying to devise and implement ways to dismantle and privatize public education. (And at age 76, she is a decade older than DeVos–one more aging boomer in this administration). I’m not saying that won’t be part of her policy objectives. It’s just that she won’t enter office with a whole suitcase of explosives already packed.
