Friend,
Linda McMahon just had a Senate hearing on her nomination for Secretary of Education – and it confirmed exactly why she must be stopped.
She dodged critical questions, downplayed concerns about the dismantling of the Department of Education, and refused to push back against Trump’s extreme education policies. McMahon’s record and testimony make one thing clear: she is the wrong person to lead our nation’s schools.
Before you read any further, add your name to demand the Senate reject McMahon’s nomination. >>
Here’s what McMahon stands for – and why she’s a clear and present danger to students and their families:
❌ She will help Trump dismantle the Department of Education. Under Project 2025, Trump and his allies want to slash funding for public schools and gut protections for students with disabilities, LGBTQ+ youth, and students of color. McMahon made it clear she supports this radical plan, even suggesting shifting key responsibilities to other agencies that are not designed to protect students.
❌ She will funnel taxpayer money to private schools and religious institutions. McMahon is a longtime supporter of expanding private school voucher programs, which strip funding from public schools and send it to unaccountable private and religious schools that can discriminate against students. Voters across the country have rejected these schemes time and again—but McMahon is ignoring them to push Trump’s privatization agenda.
❌ She refuses to stand up against book bans, curriculum censorship, and attacks on teachers. McMahon dodged questions about state-level bans on books, diversity programs, and LGBTQ+ student protections, proving that she will do nothing to stop right-wing politicians from censoring history and silencing educators.
If confirmed, McMahon will be a key figure in Trump’s war on public education, empowering the same extremist forces that are banning books, undermining teachers, and pushing propaganda into our classrooms and communities.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. McMahon and Trump claim they’re “listening to parents,” but in reality, they are silencing educators, gutting public school funding, and imposing extreme, politically motivated restrictions on what can be taught in classrooms.
This isn’t just about one cabinet pick – it’s about the future of public education. A Secretary of Education should strengthen schools, support teachers, and defend students’ rights. Linda McMahon will do the opposite.
Speak out now – tell the Senate to reject her nomination. >>
Thank you for taking action,
