President-elect Donald Trump has named Linda McMahon, co-founder of WWE and a close ally, as his pick for Education Secretary, sparking widespread concern.
While McMahon has a background in business and a brief stint on Connecticut's Board of Education in 2009, her experience in public education is minimal and dismal.
Trump has vowed to dismantle the Department of Education, leaving critical responsibilities like federal oversight and funding to state governments.
Critics warned that this move could jeopardize protections for marginalized students, including Black and brown communities, and undermine public schools nationwide.
Education advocates argue that federal standards are essentially for equity and accountability.
The Senate confirmation process is expected to ignite heated debates over the future of education policy and its impact on millions of American students.
