WWE Boss-Turned-Education Chief: Schools in Smackdown Mode

Linda McMahon, famous for body slamming crowds as WWE CEO, has transitioned to body slamming public education as the U.S. Education Secretary. In just eight months and with a $500 million smackdown budget, she’s hiked funds for charter schools while ready to padlock the Department's doors. Her 'final mission' entails dismantling traditional schools faster than a WWE cage match. She’s hired acolytes from ultraconservative camps like The Heritage Foundation and teamed with PragerU and Turning Point USA to rebrand 'patriotic education'—which suspiciously downplays slavery akin to a bad Netflix rewrite. Meanwhile, public schools face threats for maintaining Black student programs, waved off with more 'Amazon gift card' vouchers for private and homeschool alternatives. And yes, Triple H attended her Senate hearing, presumably scouting tag team partners for America’s academic cage fight.
