I had a kiddo who needed an IEP. Hard enough to get the resources lined up with federal backing. Without it we are just going to throw away some amazing brains.
On the other hand, she should be able to schedule some great wrestling matches between fired employees: a la Hunger Games. Maybe staged at the Kennedy Center with music by Ted Nugent and Kid Rock?
Why should she be required to know that? None of the other nominees knew anything about the requirements for their jobs. I think you’re just picking on her because she comes from the fake world of “Professional Wrestling”.
It’s interesting that our governors are speaking out more than our senators and representatives. What dirt does this guy have on everyone? What are they so afraid of?
If you haven't set foot in a public school classroom since you were a child (or ever for most of these rich fools), you have no business deciding policy for those of us who are in the trenches with America's children everyday.
You could say that about all of his appointees. Completely not experts in the area they are now completely in charge of. It’s sick.
If we survive this mess, that needs to be a big focus of reform…make candidates for cabinet level positions meet certain basic requirements, at the least.
It’s completely nuts that for so many jobs in America, you have to go through a background check, often take a written test, have a qualified resume, sometimes even take a polygraph, drug test, etc etc. But for cabinet level positions, nothing.
Like, perhaps it would be a good idea for the guy in charge of all the doctors, to maybe be a doctor himself? 🙄🤦♂️. You wouldn’t put some random guy in charge of the kitchen in a nice restaurant, you’d hire a qualified chef. There should be rules that force guys like Trump to appoint qualified people.
It makes negative amounts of sense. If I were president, I would try to select the most qualified people with the least problems, whether or not the agree with me 100% on everything
Trump is not qualified to be president so he doesn’t believe that is required. The only qualification is to be a bully, and of course be able to lie well.
I don’t think it would matter. Whoever has the most votes, has the power to appoint these fools. In this case, democrats helped get some of them appointed, which is infuriating.
100%. Why do Trump supporters accept incompetence in the Trump
Administration? The hypocrisy of their suggesting DEI results in hiring people who aren't qualified makes me crazy when Trump and his grisly gang compromise the most incompetent collection of losers known to humankind.
That's the point- GOP wants to dismantle DOE, so they put an incompetent in charge. If you're clueless, you follow orders. Heritage Foundation & Christian Nationalists will direct her & she'll do it. Vouchers & privatization for all! (Wealthy) Keep 'em stupid, easier to manipulate & control!
Trump’s cabinet is full of the same type of ignorant ass Dunning Kruger University graduate MAGA loyalists we have been fighting misinformation and disinformation with for over 6 years.
We have to burn it all down and start from scratch, but this time, it will be the women running the country because clearly men have ruined the country 🙄
Plus no one really knows what the federal money for special education and title one programs will go. I hear to the states but each state can decide what to do with the money. I can guarantee you the red states will put it in their general funds and make the property owners make up the difference.
Two federal laws re education this IDEA and No Child Left Behind. We can assume neither is known to the Professional Wrestling lady and neither will be honored or defended by this Government.
Correction: she has placed in charged with the intention of fully dismantling the DOE. If you are trashing it, there is no need to understand it. The senators that voted to confirm her must be incredibly proud of what they’ve done.
this is a good example of why people in these positions should have been experts or experienced within the fields. It’s friggin ridiculous, this ignorance. Our children will suffer because of this administration. We all will in many ways.
This is just in line with the other cabinet clowns. They know nothing of the job they’ve been given. Pretty much in line with the tenant in the People’s House!
And she said “I’m new to this job”
1. You knew you were getting the job.
2. That’s no excuse.
3. You’re not qualified.
Every job I ever got, I had some requisite knowledge I needed before I started. And if I didn’t have it, it was my responsibility to have it by day 1.
Another UNQUALIFIED TRUMPSTER CABINET MEMBER. The Dept. of Education might as well be called the Dept. of UNDEREDUCATED. I’m really confused here.Aren’t all appointees supposed to be SCRUTINIZED by the Senate, and don’t they need 60 SENATE VOTES to be able to sit on the Cabinet? What Dems voted FOR?
She's entirely qualified given his criteria:
1) Accusations of sexual misconduct. (for enabling the sexual abuse of ring boys by a ref)
2) Donated lots to his campaign. (More than $10M)
3) Agreed to do whatever Trump wants.
The new Sec of Education was brought in to close it down. She is excited to have any cabinet position. Being qualified for cabinet positions is not a requirement in Trump’s cabinet. Only requirement is loyalty to Trump.
If we don't get these people out of our government, we are so screwed! There is a reason why he put these controllable non-thinkers in these positions.
CONGRESS!!!
STEP THE FUCK UP!!
She doesn't need to know that much about it to kill it. Not like she's going to 'study up' on it to make a good decision. That decision has already been made.
She’s not going to run it, she going to ruin it.
Dismantled and tossed in the trash
Will all the states still be expecting federal education dollars? Many red states reallocate that money and use it for things other than education. They’re screwed 😂

Meaning if the DoE were a plane, she'd be hired by Trump to perform an act of domestic terrorism.

Damn upside down, backwards, inside out, bad acid trip land we're in.
Her job is to eliminate the dept. She could care less.
You can become US president without it. 🤷♀️
I have a big fat orange tire that needs more hot air pumped into it. 😉
And remember,
tell the truth in the same manner as Trump tells lies. Be Nasty!!
When epically stupid and uneducated you vote Fascist errr Republican
Apart from saying "tsk tsk" and giving optimistic speeches?
Take the fucking gloves off and fight or die.
