I cannot overstate how fucking insane it is that Linda McMahon admitted that she doesn’t know what IDEA is.

If you have a child with special needs, you should be terrified.

Furious. Terrified and furious.

kdnerak33.bsky.social•6 days ago

Rebekah- I am so angry and sad and full to the brim with I told you so.

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•6 days ago

My emotional life is a constant swing between rage and despair.

She’s never had an idea, either.

As a school teacher, I know I am.

kdnerak33.bsky.social•6 days ago

I look at my class every day; at my EL kids, my kids on IEPs and 504s, my kids who rely on Title 1 services; and my heart hurts.

faefromthefield.bsky.social•6 days ago

And then I look at my amazing colleagues who are providing those services and worry how many will be out of jobs?!?

As a parent, I often wonder which of the teachers vote Republican.

faefromthefield.bsky.social•6 days ago

The one the rest of us don’t like.

faefromthefield.bsky.social•6 days ago

My heart absolutely hurts for them and their families. My head hurts trying to figure out how I am going to do it all without support services?!?

kdnerak33.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’ll be like the days before the Department of Education. Some states will choose to ignore them and they’ll fail with less help and fewer staff to help them. Then Republicans can say, see? Public schools do suck. It’s all part of the plan.

Retired teacher here. My god. What will happen to these kids?

msdavinci.bsky.social•6 days ago

And she doesn’t care that she doesn’t know and will never know because it’s not important to any of them. These people go out of their way to not know things.

bcaputo722.bsky.social•6 days ago

This isn’t just for disabled kids, but for all kids with special needs, from severe disabilities to extreme intelligence. The IDEA act provides all these kids with a plan to make sure they are properly educated and cared for. Gone are not just the learning disabled classes, but also gifted programs

bcaputo722.bsky.social•6 days ago

My kid had a 504 for her severe anxiety and ADHD. I fought for assistance under it every step of the way even with the plan in place. I can’t imagine the outcome if we didn’t even have it!

She’s a figure head for 6 months until the department is eliminated

She’s a disgusting excuse of a human.

peskyprofessor.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly why she was put in charge 😉

kdnerak33.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep 😡

bsorohan.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's just part of along tradition of acting like the people who have studied education and actually taught children have no knowledge of any worth on the subject.

yourbodymyfreezer.bsky.social•6 days ago

I am terrified. And on Tuesday I felt awful for the Committee for Special Ed. teachers and coordinators at his annual meeting, planning services for ’25-26 school year that he might not get, because they might not be around to deliver them.

voiceofthesane.bsky.social•6 days ago

Tim Walz said it best. It’s like an auto mechanic that doesn’t know how to air up a car tire.

kdnerak33.bsky.social•6 days ago

She doesn’t care. Her purpose is to burn it all down and figure out how to profit from privatization and vouchers. Fuck the kids.

indynet.bsky.social•6 days ago

brace yourselves

I am so glad I pulled my special needs child out of public schools. I'm terrified and heartbroken for his friends that are still there.

negrolow.bsky.social•6 days ago

The only thing she knows is sexaul assault cover-ups!

derekengman.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’s America.
You guys should be scared to have kids anyways.
No healthcare, antivax guy at the top of your health, school shootings.
You are a gross country.

newmrsg.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh I am.

theoutlier1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Furious. You should be furious and ready to stop at nothing to get Trump out.

ccdude8.bsky.social•6 days ago

After working with political appointees for more than 35 years, I would say that Trump's are the least qualified bunch of fucking assholes I've ever encountered.

Her husband went to prison for his involvement in a pretty significant little boy business hidden by a WWF front.
She has no business being involved with children.

suewho82.bsky.social•6 days ago

I am so terrified for the future of our children.

kdnerak33.bsky.social•6 days ago

Me, too.

suewho82.bsky.social•6 days ago

Giant sigh. 😔
How will we ever hold on to the country for them?!

drlizgeriatrics.bsky.social•6 days ago

t’s never been about efficiency. It’s tearing down the US strength, security, economy, health and education for the benefit of the tinpot war criminal and allow the uberrich to pick up assets cheap in a recession.

Tariffs are to extort companies for bribes and break alliances.

She’s doing trump’s dirty work in exchange for her hopeful exoneration in the sexual assault of minors case, in which she and husband, Vince, are defendants.

I didn't think it was possible, but McMahon is worse than Betsy DeVos... & DeVos is a horrible human being.
These mthr fckrs top themselves in cruelty and ignorance on a daily basis.
