Friend – Linda McMahon’s nomination for Secretary of Education is
heading to a full Senate vote next week – and if confirmed, she’ll carry
out Trump’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education and gut public
school funding. We can’t let that happen.

McMahon is unqualified and committed to diverting taxpayer dollars away
from public schools, cutting resources for students with disabilities,
slashing support for teachers, attacking LGBTQ+ students, and censoring
what our kids can read and learn. This is about the future of our
children’s education – and we need to act now.

Thank you,

Friend,

Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle public education just took a major step
forward.

Today, the Senate education committee voted to advance Linda McMahon’s
nomination for Secretary of Education. Now, the full Senate will vote –
and if confirmed, she’ll do exactly what Trump wants: gut the Department
of Education, slash funding for public schools, and funnel taxpayer
dollars to billionaire-backed private interests.

[ [link removed] ]We can still stop this. Call your senators right now and tell them to
vote NO on Linda McMahon. >>

McMahon isn’t just unqualified – she’s a clear threat to public education.
She served only a year on a state education board before resigning after
lying about having a degree in education. She has no expertise – just deep
loyalty to Trump and a history of funneling millions into his campaign.

She’s also leading Trump’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education,
a move that would:

❌ Eliminate funding for school meals – leaving children without access to
nutritious breakfasts and lunches.

❌ Shut down programs that help students with disabilities, making it
harder for families to access essential services.

❌ Cut support for rural schools, forcing closures and larger class sizes
in communities already struggling to keep teachers.

❌ Drain public school funding into private school vouchers, prioritizing
billionaires over students who rely on public education.

❌ Eliminate protections for LGBTQ+ students, rolling back Title IX rights
for transgender youth and threatening funding for schools that support
LGBTQ+ inclusion.

This is not about education reform – this is about abolishing public
education as we know it.

If McMahon gets her way, students will be forced into overcrowded
classrooms, teachers will lose their jobs, and entire communities will be
left without the resources they need to educate the next generation.
Meanwhile, Trump and his billionaire friends will be cashing in.

This is about our kids, our schools, and our future. If we don’t act now,
Trump and McMahon will sell out public education to their billionaire
donors.

[ [link removed] ]Call your senators RIGHT NOW and tell them: Vote NO on Linda
McMahon. >>

Let’s stop this nomination before it’s too late.

Thanks for your advocacy,
