Summary
Linda McMahon, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, previously resigned from the Connecticut State Board of Education in 2009 after falsely claiming she held a degree in education.
McMahon, co-founder of WWE and former head of the Small Business Administration, holds a degree in French and a teaching certificate.
Her nomination has drawn criticism for her lack of public education experience and alignment with Trump’s policies, including rolling back LGBTQ+ protections under Title IX.
If confirmed, McMahon will oversee contentious student loan forgiveness battles and Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education.
What “contentious student loan forgiveness battles” would there be to oversee? The Trump administration certainly isn’t going to continue Biden’s efforts and there’s zero chance of a Republican congress passing anything. Unless they’re planning to somehow go after people who had their loans forgiven already, seems a dead issue.
I can absolutely see them trying to claw back debt that has already been forgiven. Hell, they’ll probably try and get people to pay all the waived interest from the pandemic.
