Trump's nominee for Secretary of Education faces criticism over a past false claim about holding an education degree.

Summary

Linda McMahon, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, previously resigned from the Connecticut State Board of Education in 2009 after falsely claiming she held a degree in education.

McMahon, co-founder of WWE and former head of the Small Business Administration, holds a degree in French and a teaching certificate.

Her nomination has drawn criticism for her lack of public education experience and alignment with Trump’s policies, including rolling back LGBTQ+ protections under Title IX.

If confirmed, McMahon will oversee contentious student loan forgiveness battles and Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education.

    Unless they’re planning to somehow go after people who had their loans forgiven already, seems a dead issue.

    I can absolutely see them trying to claw back debt that has already been forgiven. Hell, they’ll probably try and get people to pay all the waived interest from the pandemic.
