Linda McMahon, a former WWE executive, is set to face a confirmation hearing to lead the Education Department. Concerns have been raised about her involvement in turning a blind eye to child sex abuse during her time at WWE. McMahon, her husband Vince, and WWE have been accused of enabling the sexual abuse of children by a WWE ring announcer. If confirmed, McMahon could face challenges leading a department Trump has tried to dismantle. Senate Democrats are focused on policy questions such as her stance on privatizing education. McMahon has very little education experience, serving briefly on the Connecticut Board of Education. She has denied the allegations against her. Concerns have been raised about her leadership of the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights. Some education groups are worried about the impact of the department’s potential elimination. DeVos, who has also supported privatizing schools, has expressed support for eliminating the department. McMahon’s involvement in the alleged cover-up of sexual abuse at WWE has raised questions about her suitability for the position. Former employees and family members of those affected by the abuse have called into question her integrity. The lawsuit against McMahon and WWE alleges they knew about the abuse and did nothing to stop it. Despite these concerns, McMahon’s confirmation hearing will address a range of issues, including her views on privatization, teacher pay, and efforts to cut programs in low-income school districts.
