As Linda McMahon faces a confirmation hearing to lead the Education Department, concerns have been raised by former WWE employees and education officials about her fitness for the role. Allegations in a lawsuit that McMahon turned a blind eye to child sex abuse during her time at WWE have caused worry about her ability to oversee Title IX and safeguard children. Some are questioning her competence and lack of education experience.
The lawsuit accuses McMahon and her husband of enabling child sexual abuse in WWE, leading to criticism about her leadership. If confirmed, McMahon could face the challenge of overseeing a department Trump wants to dismantle. Despite the controversies, Senate Democrats are focusing on policy questions for McMahon, such as her stance on privatizing public education and supporting teachers.
McMahon’s past experience includes serving on the Connecticut Board of Education and heading the Small Business Administration. She has defended herself against the lawsuit’s claims, and WWE has not commented. Concerns have been raised about what McMahon’s leadership could mean for the Office for Civil Rights’ future if the department is dismantled.
Critics argue that eliminating the Education Department could harm students, while supporters like DeVos believe it could benefit students by cutting costs. McMahon’s connections to past abuse allegations at WWE have added to concerns about her suitability for the Education Department role. Accusations against her and her husband in relation to the abuse scandal have resurfaced, leading some to question whether she is fit to lead the department.
