* no senator on either side of aisle asked her about mass shootings

The 19th · Linda McMahon became ed secretary without discussing schools’ scariest issue: guns By Nadra Nittle

#LindaMcMahon ran world wrestling & now heads the dept of education blabbing about merit. The lady who didn't know what the acronym IDEA -- Individuals with Disabilities Education Act -- stands for, a program her office runs.

& here she is on her high horse: “Students must be assessed acc. to merit & accomplishment, not prejudged by the color of their skin,” Education Sec. Linda McMahon said in a statement. “We will not yield on this commitment.”

The New York Times · Trump Live Updates: News on Crypto Summit, Russia Sanctions, Iran Talks and MoreBy Sharon Otterman

Former #ProWrestling promoter & current #Education Secretary #LindaMcMahon delivered a stark message on Friday about the agency’s future. Asked on FauxNews whether the #UnitedStates “needs this department,” McMahon answered: “No, we don’t.”

In the interview, her first since she was confirmed to the cabinet this week, McMahon said that #Trump intended to sign an #ExecutiveOrder aimed at closing her department, but she declined to give details on timing.

Replied to Desert Trail

#lindamcmahon has been secretary of #education now for mere days. With a new #executiveorder today “dissolving” the #departmentofeducation does that mean she no longer has a job? #silverlining ? I hope DoEd employees choose to be forcibly removed rather than comply in advance. Get ready for massive inefficiencies and abuses that will lead to GOP claims that the only effective education structure is one run as a private, for-profit business. #Title1 #idea #donotcomply
