President-elect Donald Trump is filling his cabinet with people ready to disrupt the status quo, and future Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is no exception.
Left-of-center media is already accusing McMahon of being “Betsy DeVos 2.0,” a reference to Trump’s first education secretary, and the national teachers’ union says she is “grossly unqualified.”
But experts say McMahon may have even more success reforming education than her predecessor.
After all, the education landscape in 2024 looks vastly different than it did in 2016. And no issue has gained more traction since Trump’s first term than school choice.
