This verse is a followup to concerns expressed in previous blogposts.

Authors' Note: A recent New York Times article was subtitled, "Linda McMahon, whose résumé mainly rests on running World Wrestling Entertainment, has faced questions for years over whether she is suitable for important education posts."

The president, who employed her in his first term as director of the Small Business Administration, nominated her in 2024 as Secretary of Education, but has repeatedly indicated that he would like to eventually eliminate the Department.

This candidate is discussed further HERE.
