Trump’s Education Department pick means a bright future for our children

President-elect Donald Trump’s victory two months ago is a huge win for parents. Moreover, his nomination of Linda McMahon to lead the Education Department will benefit millions of students and families. Under her leadership, parents will be freed from educational handcuffs and empowered to get their children out of failing programs and districts.

The current administration has missed the mark on education, turning a blind eye to learning losses in core subjects such as math, reading, and history. It put union support and radical pedagogy before student success and school choice. Perhaps it thought parents like us wouldn’t notice or care, but we did.
