Donald Trump is once again shaking up the establishment with his latest nomination, selecting Linda McMahon, the transition co-chairwoman, to take on the role of Education Secretary. This pick is not just a win for parents and students alike; it’s a loud statement that the days of federal meddling in education could soon be over. Following the announcement, it’s clear that Trump means business when he talks about sending education back to the states, and this nomination is just the appetizer for the main course of education reform.
Trump gushed over McMahon’s extensive experience in both education and business, which may just qualify her to teach the Department of Education a thing or two about what’s really important for America’s youth. With her helming the education ship, there’s a good chance the focus will shift from teaching kids all about critical theories concocted in ivory towers to providing a solid, practical education that actually prepares students for the real world. Because, let’s face it, knowledge of “The Art of Social Justice” isn’t getting anybody hired anytime soon.

The new Education Secretary has proven her mettle as a fierce advocate for Parents’ Rights. During her tenure at the America First Policy Institute, she pushed for universal school choice across twelve states, making access to quality education available to students regardless of their socioeconomic background. With McMahon in the captain’s seat, parents might finally be empowered to have a say in their children’s education, rather than letting bureaucrats in Washington dictate what kids learn and how they learn it. Imagine that—parents being able to choose schools instead of being forced into the nearest public school that couldn’t care less about results.
McMahon’s credentials certainly bode well for her new role. Not only has she been around the block, running the Small Business Administration during the previous Trump administration, but she has also been a generous financial backer of Trump’s campaigns. It’s almost as if she’s signaling to the elite educational establishments that their days of indoctrination are numbered. Don’t be surprised if the next big headline is an education system that prioritizes actual learning over political correctness.
Moreover, Trump knows what he’s aiming for when he suggests he might eliminate the Education Department altogether, throwing cold water on an entity often viewed as bloated and ineffective. If McMahon can bring about the change Trump envisions, states will regain control over their education systems, and the federal red tape might eventually get cut down to size. This move isn’t just about changing who runs the show; it’s about dismantling a decades-long trend of federal overspending and overreach in education. In the ever-entertaining wrestling match that is American politics, it looks like the people finally have a chance to tag out the federal government from the ring.
