At her Senate confirmation hearing today, Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon:
Pledged to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, and
Promised to support vouchers, stripping resources from 90% of U.S. students.
Our students deserve an education secretary that will fight for them and the resources they need to learn, not gut public education to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
Please call your senators and tell them to vote NO on Linda McMahon’s confirmation.

All of our students—each and every one of them—deserve the resources, support, and opportunities that will help them to live their wildest dreams.
Dismantling the Department of Education will hurt our students, especially those in lower-income families in rural, suburban, and urban areas, and those with disabilities.
It will increase class sizes, take away services for students with disabilities, cut job training programs, make higher education more expensive and out of reach, and slash student civil rights protections.
Linda McMahon has promised to gut public education and has spent years pushing policies that would defund and destroy public schools.
Call your senators right now and tell them to reject Linda McMahon as secretary of education.
Together, we will stand up to Linda McMahon and every other anti-public education politician who tries to harm our students, our educators, and our communities.
For our students,
Becky Pringle
President
National Education Association
If confirmed, Linda McMahon will work to gut public education and push failed public school voucher programs.
