JOHN, The recent announcement that Donald Trump is expected to nominate Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education represents a pivotal moment for the future of public education in America. This decision bypasses the recently speculated founder of Moms for Liberty, Tiffany Justice, and another extreme voice, Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters, whom both openly lobbied for the position. Yet, while the exclusion of these two from leadership in public education offers some relief, Linda McMahon’s nomination is far from a victory for students, educators, or families. Her lack of experience in public education, coupled with her history as a corporate executive and Trump political fundraiser, signals a continued prioritization of political loyalty over educational expertise. The broader context of this nomination cannot be ignored. Trump’s education agenda includes proposals to dismantle the Department of Education; a move that would devastate public schools, eliminate protections for vulnerable students, and destabilize funding for millions of children across the country. This reckless nomination makes it clear why the work of Educated We Stand is not only relevant but urgently needed. We will continue to champion public schools, push back against harmful policies, and demand leadership that prioritizes students, teachers, and families—not politics and propaganda. We call on parents, educators, and community members to join us in this fight. Together, we will ensure that public education is not only protected but strengthened for future generations. Join us in the fight to protect public education. Your support will help us amplify our voice, rally communities, and advocate for leadership that puts students first.
