No one in that administration is qualified for what we imagined the position entails. However ALL are qualified for dismantling their agency and dismembering the country. Putin must be overjoyed.
To get into education, you need a Bachelor’s. To get paid more or climb the educational ladder, you need more certificates and a Master’s. Sometimes a PhD. Yet to get the highest possible educational role at the state or federal level, apparently you don’t need any experience at all!
For the party of “family values” they sure don’t seem to care about kids..
Infantile death rates are going to skyrocket if we stop requiring vaccines and the ones who do live are going to grow up to be uneducated, dysfunctional citizens
Is there a single nominee without a scandal in their record? Or is that a prerequisite for 47 - perhaps to distract from & normalize his long list of lies & scandals.
Not qualified to sit on a state education board, so of course Trump sees her as uniquely qualified to head the Department of Edumacation. Trump voters, just because someone is as stupid as you doesn't mean they'll make a good dictator. Just screaming.
The plan from heritage foundation, project 2025, (itself going back to James Buchanan, economist) is to get rid of public education and support 'home school' and religious education only. Want uneducated or biased educated next gens....New Yorker did great article on Buchanan a few yrs back.
It seems Trump got his inner circle to draw up a list of people who kiss his ass and are the least qualified for these Cabinet positions and nominated everyone of them!
That’s just the trump way. He and all of those around him are second stringers all the way. Elections have consequences and America wanted Idiocracy (the movie) and that’s what they will get. 😉
I don't know that this isn't a common mistake. Getting a Bachelor's in French with a teaching certificate - that's an academic program that is sometimes held in a School of Education.
Well, if lying really were a deal breaker we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Instead, we're looking at a regime where lying is and will be standard operating procedure, from the top down. The fish rots from the head.
I think this is grasping at straws. In addition to student teaching, she would have had to take some education courses. That said, does heading the WWE qualify her to run the dept of education? Focus on that , or better yet, find out what the requirements are to get a certificate of teaching.
If a theocratic fascist republikkkan's lips are moving, they're either blowing lobbyists, or lying. Hope this saves y'all some time. They've been like that since the Raygun era.
Not that I want to excuse her, but it is possible that she earned an education credential in addition to her bachelor's degree.
I majored in biology/chemistry. I also earned an teaching credential. Mom & 2 sister did same, in English. If she didn't earn a teaching credential, then she is lying.
It does state that she did student teaching, which implies that she took education sequence courses in addition to her major. This is common. One does not need to major in education to earn a teaching license, just do the coursework. Elementary ed is different--it is a major in its own right.
I could have majored in science education, or in biology/chem while filling education requirements. I actually went back to school 12 yrs after graduating, in a post-bac teaching program. Like most secondary teachers, I don't have a BS in education.
She doesn’t qualify - if the Senate asks the right questions, the nation will see that these cabinet posts are being given out based on nothing but donor money and being loud talkers!
All his picks are meant to destroy the departments they are nominated for. They are all horrific, and they only get worse. I’m surprised Roger Stone hasn’t been nominated yet.
Like what more is to say? His cabinet appts r not properly vetted so this is what happens.He is never gonna pick a morally,ethically acceptable candidate. He wld’nt even know one to choose it’s not who he associates with. This should not be a surprise. A liar is never gonna pick a truthful person.
Amazing. Before getting hired as a teacher you present your school transcripts, diploma, and all certifications passed and then fingerprinted. I had to. Wouldn't you think some of this would be a requirement to be appointed to a Gov position.
It really doesn't matter if she has a fake degree or not. The idiot voters of America have allowed a criminal to do whatever he wants now. McMahon's sole job is to destroy the agency from within.
Most of our Sec. of Education chiefs have not had a degree in Education. I’ve always found that absurd. I always said, we wouldn’t put an unqualified person at the head of the Dept. of the Military. Now here we are! Unqualified, despicable selections in almost every position. Fun times.
Billionaires are always over stating their education and what they have done, like stolen valor, stolen education/ business accomplishments they have to be fake in front of their peers they become so use to lying to everybody they start believing their own lies.
She will privatize education and then they will dismantle it! #FollowTheMoney because no doubt funding for title programs and IDEA will end up in someone’s pockets! #FuckTrump and his cronies!
I mean, coming from the world she’s used to, where you can say any crazy made-up bullshit you like and it’s then considered part of your character, she probably thought by saying it, she had one. But just like Hulk Hogan isn’t immortal, Linda McMahon doesn’t have an education degree.

I could have had a better, higher salary for 20 years. 😤
Anyone can edit a wiki page.
We have to again stop giving their outrage any attention. These people are self serving hypocrites.
Always.
She's qualified
Apologies for the source.

Keep em coming.
Maybe if she's that bad, ECU should rescind the one they did give her.
I majored in biology/chemistry. I also earned an teaching credential. Mom & 2 sister did same, in English. If she didn't earn a teaching credential, then she is lying.
All true. 😞
Name one fucking nominee that knows JACK SHIT about the department he's nominating them for.
We are the laughing stock of the world
"Birds of a feather." Thanks to my grandmother for this lesson. 👵
It begins again. 😔🙄😬
If I don’t laugh. I’ll cry. And now you know how he bankrupted a casino.
🤦🏽♀️
but they didn’t take away her fake degree.
I'd consider this a step up from there...lol

They obviously took it as a challenge.
