45 senators—and millions of parents and educators—said no to Linda McMahon's extreme anti-student agenda.

And we will keep saying no to her for as long as she tries to harm students and educators.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

Today, Linda McMahon:

❌ Pledged to dismantle the U.S. Dept. of Education, and

❌ Promised to support vouchers, stripping resources from 90% of U.S. students.  

Our students deserve an education secretary who will fight for them, not gut public schools to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Millions of students rely on programs run by the Department of Education. Eliminating it would be equivalent to "giving up on our future," says @neapresident.bsky.social Becky Pringle.

We need leaders who will stand up for students—not dismantle the very systems that support them.
