Trump’s education pick Linda McMahon faces Senate as she prepares to dismantle her own department - The Times of India
Feb 13, 2025
Linda McMahon is a famous person from wrestling. Now, she might be in charge of a big place called the Department of Education. This place helps schools and kids learn better. But there's a twist! Instead of helping it grow, Linda might work to make it smaller or even get rid of it!
President Trump picked Linda because he thinks the Department of Education is not doing a good job. He believes schools in America are not as good as they should be. Even though America spends a lot of money on education, they are ranked low compared to other countries. So, Trump has a plan. He wants Linda to make big changes.
Today, Linda will go to the Senate. This is where important people talk about rules for the country. Some senators want to know if Linda will keep helping students. Others think she is just the right person to make things better. Linda is a bit nervous because this is a big job.
She doesn’t have much experience with education. But she was the boss of a huge wrestling company and knows a thing or two about tough situations. Some people really like her and think she can fix education. But others are really worried! They think getting rid of the Department of Education could hurt many schools.
If Linda gets the job, she will be the last secretary of Education. That’s sort of funny and strange! It means her job might not last long. Many people are waiting to see what happens. Will Linda change education for the better? Or will things get harder for schools?
Today is an important day! It’s like a big wrestling match, but with questions and answers instead of punches. Everyone is watching closely!
