U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Linda McMahon as education secretary, putting the former pro-wrestling mogul at the helm of a department Trump has proposed abolishing.
“For the past four years, as the Chair of the Board at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), Linda has been a fierce advocate for Parents’ Rights, working hard at both AFPI and America First Works (AFW) to achieve Universal School Choice in 12 States, giving children the opportunity to receive an excellent Education, regardless of zip code or income,” Trump said in a statement.
Trump said she will fight “tirelessly” to expand universal school choice across the U.S.
McMahon, who had been in the running for commerce secretary, headed up the Small Business Administration in Trump’s first administration and was a major donor and early supporter of the Republican president-elect when he first ran for the White House almost a decade ago.

Holy fucking shit, I saw someone comment about this and thought it was a joke. Well, I suppose it IS a joke, but a very bad joke being played on the American people.
And don't get me going about "universal school choice", that's just a glittery way of saying he plans to rob public schools for the benefit of the elite.
