President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Education, Linda McMahon, said Wednesday that she plans to hand control of education back to the states.
“Our goal is to return decision-making power to where it belongs—the states and the communities,” said McMahon, according to EconoTimes. McMahon said she hopes the move would allow for regional educational needs to be met with more adaptability. (LEARN MORE: School Choice Fuels Innovation, Experts Say)
McMahon’s plan echoes that of Universal School Choice and Parental Rights, both of which she’s been fierce advocates of throughout her career. In a Nov. statement, Trump said “as Secretary of Education, Linda will fight tirelessly to expand ‘Choice’ to every state in America, and empower parents to make the best Education decisions for their families.”
Benefits of School Choice
Many states have already shown huge success by voting for Universal School Choice. In Florida, tens of thousands of children were able to enroll in private, charter, and home schools across the state after the legislation was passed shortly before the pandemic.

“Florida has shown a blueprint, and we really can be an engine for that as other states work to adopt a lot of the policies that we’ve done,” Florida Republican Gov. DeSantis said of the program in May.

Get Involved In Giving Back
We just had an election where a lot of people lost their jobs, and a lot of new people are coming in to work for you, the American people. These elected officials don’t get to start their job until January 20th, 2025, so what do we do with this time until then?
Yes, Million Voices helps you with voter guides. Yes, we send letters from YOU directly to your elected officials because it’s the only way to guarantee they’ll listen to you. Yes, we publish data, articles, text messages, and help bridge the gap between education and civic action. All of these actions and more allow you to be the hero of our American story. And you are united in your heroism like never before!
Our goal is to move through this political transition from the Biden administration to the incoming Trump administration by educating you on the key issues you can take action on outside of election season. Once you know what’s going on across the local, state, and national landscape, we’ll tell your leaders what you want to happen. This is how we get your elected officials to keep working for you once they’ve earned your vote.
