Former head of wrestling company to become US Secretary of Education
Linda McMahon, the former CEO of WWE, has been nominated by President Donald Trump to be the next US Secretary of Education.
McMahon, who has no experience in education policy, is a controversial choice for the position. Some critics have argued that she is not qualified for the job, while others have expressed concerns about her past support for policies that they believe would harm public education.
McMahon's nomination has been met with mixed reactions. Some education groups have praised her as a successful businesswoman who can bring new ideas to the department. Others have criticized her lack of experience in education and her support for policies that they believe would undermine public education.
McMahon's nomination will now go to the Senate for confirmation. If confirmed, she would be the first person with no experience in education to lead the department.
McMahon's nomination is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to reshape the federal government. Trump has already appointed several other cabinet members with little or no experience in the areas they oversee.
It is unclear what McMahon's priorities would be as Secretary of Education. She has not released a detailed education plan, and she has not given many speeches on education policy. However, she has said that she believes in school choice and that she wants to reduce the role of the federal government in education.
McMahon's nomination has sparked a debate about the role of experience in government. Some people believe that it is important to have experts in key positions, while others believe that outsiders can bring new ideas and perspectives to government.
The debate over McMahon's nomination is likely to continue until her confirmation hearing. It is unclear whether she will be able to win the support of the Senate, but her nomination is a sign that the Trump administration is willing to break with tradition and appoint people with little or no experience to key positions.
