On March 3, 2025, Linda McMahon was sworn in as the 13th Secretary of Education. The very next day, March 4, President Trump, in his address to Congress, reaffirmed his commitment to dismantling the Department of Education (DoE) as part of his ongoing efforts to return power to the states. Then, on March 5, 2025, President Trump took decisive action by signing Executive Order 14201, directing Secretary McMahon to begin the process of closing the DoE. This is a bold step that moves us closer to fulfilling a promise made to the American people.
The DoE wastes taxpayer money every single day. It’s been a drain on our country since its creation in 1979. It was never about reform — it was a political payoff to the National Education Association (NEA), bought in exchange for their endorsement and political support. What was sold to the public as a solution has turned into an utter disaster — an inefficient, bloated bureaucracy that has held back our students. Before the DoE, states managed their schools effectively. But the federal government decided it knew better and replaced local control with its own system, and now, we see stagnating academic achievement, declining test scores, and classrooms hijacked by political agendas.
President Trump has called the DoE a “big con job” — and he’s absolutely right. It’s time to shut it down and put education back in the hands of parents and states, where it belongs.
Linda McMahon: A Proven Leader for Education Reform
President Trump knew exactly who to put in charge to make this happen. Linda McMahon isn’t just a politician — she’s a fighter. She built World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) into a global powerhouse from the ground up. She knows how to lead, cut through the red tape, and get results. And as head of the Small Business Administration (SBA) under President Trump, she proved she can reform government programs and help America thrive.
Now, as Secretary of Education, she’s going to dismantle the DoE’s overreach. She’s going to ensure that education decisions are made by parents and local communities, not Washington bureaucrats. It’s about time we cut the waste and put parents — not bureaucrats — back in charge.
A Federal Failure: The DoE’s Track Record of Decline
From the very start, the DoE has been a failure. Despite its skyrocketing budgets — now exceeding $79 billion a year — student performance hasn’t improved. In fact, it’s Gage Skidmore
