About this episode
  1. Linda McMahon's Appointment:

    • Linda McMahon was appointed as the Secretary of Education by the President, who wanted her to dismantle the Department of Education.
    • Despite her background not being primarily in education, she has experience on the Connecticut State Board of Education and the board of trustees at Sacred Heart University.
  2. Objective to Shut Down the Department of Education:

    • The President's goal is to return education control to the states and eliminate federal bureaucracy.
    • McMahon's role involves managing this transition and ensuring states can maximize the funds saved from shutting down the department.
  3. Wasteful Spending:

    • McMahon identified significant waste in the Department of Education, particularly $600 million spent on teacher training programs focused on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) rather than traditional training.
  4. Critique of Current Education System:

    • The discussion highlights the failure of the Department of Education to improve performance scores despite spending over $3 trillion since its establishment in 1980.
    • McMahon advocates for a return to basics like reading and arithmetic, which have shown improvement in schools that adopt these methods.
  5. Technology and Education:

    • There is a concern about the outdated technology being taught in schools.
    • McMahon emphasizes the need for education to be in touch with community and industry needs, including modern technology and AI.
  6. Alternative Education Paths:

    • The conversation touches on the importance of trades and crafts, suggesting that not all students need to go to college.
    • McMahon supports short-term Pell Grants to help students enter the workforce faster.
  7. School Choice:

    • McMahon and the President are strong proponents of school choice, including charter schools, public schools, homeschooling, and magnet schools.
    • The goal is to provide equal access to excellent education and avoid trapping children in failing schools.
  8. Parental Involvement:

    • The importance of parental involvement in education is emphasized, especially in supporting local school systems and advocating for appropriate curriculum.
  9. Legislative Support:

    • Shutting down the Department of Education requires an Act of Congress, and McMahon seeks partnership with Congress to achieve this goal.
    • She encourages parents to be involved locally and advocate for school choice and educational reforms.
