The secretary of education should be the nation’s top public education advocate, helping push for more resources, and support for students no matter where they live, the color of their skin, or how much their family earns.
If confirmed as education secretary, Linda McMahon will work to undermine public schools.
-
She will work to dismantle the Department of Education, which helps lower class sizes, serve lower-income students in rural, suburban, and urban communities, and provide support to students with disabilities.
-
She will promote public school vouchers, which take funds away from public schools, where 90% of students go, and give them to private schools.
Like Betsy Devos, Linda McMahon is a billionaire with no significant background in public schools or any understanding of what it takes to help students thrive.
Call your senators and urge them vote NO on Linda McMahon as education secretary.

For decades, Oregon has strived to create a public school system where every student thrives. An inclusive school system means that students experiencing disability are provided with access to a full range of special education (SpEd) services and are included in general education classrooms, with schools and educators who can meet their needs, as often as possible
However, SpEd funding in Oregon has not kept up with the growing needs of our students. The result is that SpEd programs and supports in Oregon are now underfunded by about $700m per biennium.
HB 2953 would help fix this! Write to your lawmaker today and let them know that you support HB 2953, and that they should too!
