The Clash Between WWE and the U.S. Education System
February 28, 2025 - 21:36
In a surprising intersection of sports entertainment and politics, former President Trump has reignited the debate over the U.S. Department of Education, calling for its dissolution. This sentiment is not new among Republicans, many of whom have criticized the department since its inception in 1979. The question remains: why do they condemn it publicly while simultaneously keeping it operational?
Recent discussions have centered around Trump's appointment of Linda McMahon, the former CEO of WWE, as his pick for education secretary. This move has raised eyebrows and sparked conversations about the influence of the wrestling entertainment industry on public policy. Experts like NPR's education correspondent Cory Turner and author Josephine Reisman are examining how Trump and McMahon are leveraging strategies from the WWE playbook to redefine the American education landscape.
As the dialogue continues, the implications of such a merger between entertainment and education remain to be seen, raising concerns about the future of public education in America.
