Trump's Education Revolution: Linda McMahon Set to Lead DOE in Major Overhaul
Ahead of Linda McMahon’s confirmation hearing, Trump’s Department of Education has made significant strides in tackling wasteful spending and promoting educational choice.
President Donald Trump’s Department of Education (DOE) has been on a roll since January 20, implementing key changes ahead of Linda McMahon’s confirmation hearing. The administration’s vision to ultimately abolish the DOE and empower states and communities has already seen early victories.
Under Trump’s leadership, the DOE has cut nearly $1 billion in wasteful contracts, including those related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The department has also taken a stand against gender ideology in schools and sports, launching investigations into universities and athletic associations for Title IX violations. Moreover, the DOE is addressing antisemitism on campuses, opening investigations into several universities.
Trump’s executive orders have driven these changes, aiming to rid the education system of divisive ideologies and prioritize core skills. With McMahon, a fierce advocate for Parents’ Rights and school choice, poised to lead the DOE, the department plans to continue its momentum, focusing on empowering parents, expanding school choice, and prioritizing meaningful learning over divisive ideologies.
