Linda McMahon is facing scrutiny ahead of her confirmation hearing to lead the Education Department, with concerns being raised about her involvement in a lawsuit regarding child sex abuse during her time at WWE. Critics question her commitment to safeguarding children and overseeing Title IX protections. McMahon, who is not accused of abuse herself, has denied the allegations against her. Concerns about her lack of education experience and involvement in the lawsuit have been brought up by former WWE employees, current and former education officials, and friends of abuse victims. If confirmed, McMahon could face challenges due to the Trump administration’s plans to potentially dismantle the Education Department. Top Senate Democrats are likely to focus on policy questions, including privatization of education, teacher pay raises, and programs in low-income school districts, during her confirmation hearing. McMahon’s involvement in the lawsuit against WWE, alongside her husband Vince McMahon, raise questions about her suitability for leading the department’s Office for Civil Rights. Critics fear what her leadership could mean for student protections if the department were eliminated or restructured. The Education Department plays a crucial role in enforcing policies like Title IX, and McMahon’s past involvement in the WWE lawsuit has raised red flags for some critics.
