Parents Defending Education Action signals support for Linda McMahon as Education secretary

Donald Trump's pick for secretary of education, Linda McMahon, has picked up a key endorsement from the parental rights organization Parents Defending Education Action.

The group announced their support in a letter to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Chairman Bill Cassidy, a Republican from Maryland, and ranking member Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont.

Parents Defending Education Action was highly critical of the way in which Joe Biden's Department of Education refused to address the decline in American students' performance and instead focused on "woke" ideas like genderless bathrooms and letting biological boys play girls' sports.

"We are particularly excited to see Linda McMahon, President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, take the helm to launch a resurgence of learning and efficiency into our schools," Parents Defending Education Action's director of federal affairs, Michele Exner, wrote. "Parents in America deserve an education system that will make their children’s learning and parental involvement a cornerstone of its mission."

Exner feels both parties can agree on Linda McMahon because it's happened before.

According to MSN.com:

Exner noted that McMahon received 81 votes in being confirmed to the Small Business Administration during the first Trump administration. “Even in a partisan process, there was overwhelming support for Ms. McMahon,” she wrote. “There is no reason to delay — let’s ensure there is a swift confirmation process, so we can have officials in place to start tackling the education crises the Biden administration left behind.”
