Former WWE employees, family members, and education officials are raising concerns about Linda McMahon’s nomination to lead the Education Department overseeing millions of students in public and private schools. McMahon was involved in a lawsuit alleging she turned a blind eye to child sex abuse at WWE, although she denies the claims. Senate Democrats are concerned about her lack of education experience and potential policies, while Trump is reportedly considering dismantling the department.
The lawsuit against McMahon accused her of enabling sexual abuse of children by a WWE ring announcer, which she denies. Critics fear for the future of the Office for Civil Rights if McMahon were to lead the department, particularly if it were to be eliminated. McMahon’s involvement in WWE’s abuse scandals has raised doubts about her ability to protect students and enforce civil rights laws.
DeVos, who supports privatizing schools, has echoed calls to eliminate the department, citing concerns about bureaucratic inefficiency and lack of student focus. McMahon’s alleged lack of accountability for the abuse at WWE has raised further alarm among critics. Accusations that she was aware of claims against abusers at WWE have fueled concerns about her leadership at the Education Department.
