No,
not that one
next to Carson;
but the one
tapped to run
The Department
of Education.
Her association
with the WWE,
heading
the entertainment
promotion
company
was her claim
to fame,
and her name
long
linked
with the guy’s
whose instinct
has always been
akin
to wrestling.
A lover
of spectacle
of the not respectable,
Trump’s
BFF
is selected
to ref
the referendum
on education.
The McMahon
pick
for Secretary
of Education
has nary
a hint
of a stint
as an
educator,
but has been
an administrator
of sorts.
She led
the Small
Business
Administration
during
Trump’s first
administration,
stepping down
in 2019.
She chose
her lane
behind the scene,
helping maintain
his re-election
campaign
and then
became
chair
of the super PAC,
America First
Action.
More recently,
prepping
for another
Trump
presidency,
she chaired
the America First
Policy Institute
which sought
to contribute,
like the Heritage
Foundation’s
Project 2025
preparation,
outlined
policies
for federal
agencies
shifting
priorities,
including
the teaching
of history.
It’s no
mystery
why
I
(who taught
history)
am wrestling
with
how best
to deal
with this
real threat
while maintaining
sanity,
as eliminating
and vanity
are the principals
of the strategy.
So the World
Wrestling
Entertainment
chief
shares the belief
with Betsy DeVoss
that the boss
of the department
of ed.
should be led
by someone
who
has few,
if any,
ties
to education,
and seeks
to dismantle
it’s administration,
stating
that educating
belongs
as an issue
for the states.
We’ll see
how that goes.
But Trump
knows
and shows
that
he loves
the undereducated.
