I'm fully onboard that you past shouldn't matter if you're good. I won't hold it against Linda McMahon for her WWE performances etc. But she's an odd cookie and has no place running education.
Yeah that's really my point. The head of any government department should have past experience related to what that department does. Same requirement as for ANY job - you don't get hired as head chef if you've never even worked in a kitchen FFS. Trump's appointments are a festival of incompetence.
It's so American to be ashamed of the world laughing at us, and not at all the heinous shit we've done.
Maybe it's also American to understand I was expressing shame at being heinous, I dunno.

Vince McMahon‘s daughter is the secretary of education?
"Only puny cucks don't love Brawndo!" * powerbombs Bernie Sanders into folding tables from top turnbuckle *
No, it’s his wife, who has collaborated in a bunch of his fucked up endeavors, likely including helping with sex trafficking.

Thank god we didn’t elect Dems. Can you imagine?
She could be gay and smart 🤮
They would have made us eat arugula and wear one of Obama's tan suits. The horror.
People seem to be missing the one positive piece of news here: She's literate!
The only person who would make this mistake is someone who read "AI" in an ambiguous font. I know it's a low bar, but this means that the secretary of education is able to read.
Reading 50% of a 2 word sentence right count as literate now i. America
Nine... Eleven
A right she's happy to not extend to our country's children.

Considering Vince McMahon didn't know what a burrito was, I'm not particularly surprised.
Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It's one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here's a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?
"I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: 'We're going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.' So, Vince goes, 'Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?' It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, 'Well, we know what a burrito is.' And Vince goes, 'Well, where the hell have I been?'
"But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince's secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that's the idea - when you're in a bubble and in a business where you're ostracized from society, it's you and them, that's it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world."
It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it.
That’s no burrito, that’s an abomination.
Ketchup on a burrito that you don't know is called a burrito is up there with putting ketchup on a well-done steak

Bro how out of touch with your colleagues do you have to be to not know it's AI. Have you literally never heard someone around you talk about it? No one on TV? You've never said it aloud to someone who corrected you?
Apparently she started out saying AI, then switched to A1 mid-statement. Might have been corrected privately before, but it only partially took.
Artificial onetelligence
Will A1 replace ketchup as an official vegetable on school menus?
They hate education because they're morons
Woke antifa INFILTRATOR promoting SECOND LANGUAGE EDUCATION in LEETSPEAK so your CHILD can learn HACKING on USENET
Needs more DEEP STATE
I do needs it. I just want NIST and NIOSH and Amtrak and all the other cool shit to be okay :/
OKay, but did they have to use such a good photo, and now I want A1.
AI, AII, AIII, AIV...
The secretary of education is so educated
"I love the poorly educated!" - DJT
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: the person hired to fire themselves.
Guess we're seasoning our tech with a bit of flavor now. Hope the AI doesn't start recommending steak recipes during math class.
