70% : Our students and our nation deserve so much better than Betsy DeVos 2.0."In a statement on Tuesday, Trump extolled the "incredible" job McMahon has been doing as transition team co-chair and said:As Secretary of Education, Linda will fight tirelessly to expand 'Choice' to every State in America, and empower parents to make the best Education decisions for their families. ...
47% : Rather than working to strengthen public schools, expand learning opportunities for students, and support educators, McMahon's only mission is to eliminate the Department of Education and take away taxpayer dollars from public schools, where 90% of students - and 95% of students with disabilities - learn, and give them to unaccountable and discriminatory private schools.
37% : She warned that "McMahon's only mission is to eliminate the Department of Education and take away taxpayer dollars from public schools".

27% : Now, he and Linda McMahon are back at it with their extreme Project 2025 proposal to eliminate the Department of Education, steal resources for our most vulnerable students, increase class sizes, cut job training programs, make higher education more expensive and out of reach for middle class families, take away special education services for disabled students, and put student civil rights protections at risk.
