EMBARASSING! Education head Linda McMahon just blew a softball question at her Hearing: Mullin: “What were we ranked nationally in math and reading in 1979?” McMahon: We were very low on the totem pole. Mullin: We were number 1 in 1979.” Incompetent

If you miss the days we didn’t recruit cabinet appointees from the WWE, follow my personal account @JosephGallina for anti-MAGA action alerts!

So instituting the Department of Education in 1980 made things worse?

For those of you who have ever wondered if you can land your dream job or feel that certain careers or titles are out of reach, I present to you Linda McMahon.
Unequivocally the least qualified person in an administration that is the standard for under qualified individuals, she is your poster child. From creating WWE action figures to leading the DOE, you can't make this shyt up.

WRONG 'Correct Historical Ranking: The claim that the U.S. was ranked number one globally in math and reading in 1979 is not accurate. According to historical data and fact-checking by USA TODAY, there is no evidence to support that the U.S. was ranked number one in 1979. In fact, international comparisons of educational performance in the late 1970s and early 1980s often showed the U.S. lagging behind other countries in certain subjects, particularly in math and science. The "A Nation at Risk" report in 1983 highlighted significant concerns about the declining performance of U.S. students compared to international standards.'

@MohiniWealth
This exchange is part of a broader discussion on U.S. educational rankings, with historical data indicating that the U.S. was indeed a leader in education in the late 20th century, but has since seen a decline, possibly due to factors like complacency, inefficiency, and the rise of other nations' educational systems, as noted in educational attainment statistics and analyses from sources like Statista and HistoryNet.

Everyone loves a “gotcha” moment until they realize it’s just political theater. One stumble doesn’t define a lifetime of leadership. Let’s focus on fixing education, not dunking for likes.

Linda McMahon really took that question and hit it out of the park... into the wrong stadium!

Maybe she thought "totem pole" was a new math term?

Let's hope she gets her facts straight before the next round of questions!

One of least competent ever. We must pass a law that cabinet members must demonstrate minimal skills for the roles they are assigned. Such as serving in leadership positions in Military, Education and Heathcare. Critical for our kids - they will be educated under this boob.
