Linda McMahon may be America's last education secretary

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : As a former member of the Connecticut State School Board, improving public education is very dear to my heart.
55% : According to multiple media outlets, Trump is planning to nominate Linda McMahon to lead the federal agency, which he plans to close down in one of his first moves as president.
49% : Still, shutting down the Department of Education (DOE) would require congressional approval, meaning Trump would likely need a supermajority vote in the Senate -- 60 -- and therefore support from Democrats as well.
38% : "Trump had vowed to "move education back to the states" during his campaign and doubled down on those comments since winning the presidency, saying the department's closure would come "very early" in his second administration.
20% : The proposed closure of the department is aimed at curbing what Trump argues is federal overreach and a misuse of taxpayer dollars.
