Linda McMahon's confirmation as Secretary of Education raises concerns about her alignment with the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 and the America First Policy Institute. Her leadership has led to significant staff reductions at the Department of Education (ED), notably a 50% cut in employees. These changes suggest a strategic move towards potentially hobbling the department, despite the need for congressional approval for actual closure. McMahon's assurance around Pell Grants and loans adds complexity to her vision, which prioritizes K-12 education issues while aligning with conservative education reform agendas.
One way to frame McMahon's leadership and recent behavior as secretary is that she's the agency's appointed destructor... President Trump quipped, "Hopefully she will be our last secretary of education."
McMahon's approach aligns closely with the intentions outlined by Heritage and AFPI, as ED is targeted for closure.
