Darrell Jones from the Herzog Foundation talks about Trump's nomination of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education and we also discuss the three illegal teachers' strikes in Massachusetts which are forcing over 10,000 students out of school. 

From the Herzog Foundation:

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated business executive and former Cabinet member Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education. In his press statement, Trump described McMahon, who is well-known for founding and leading the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Inc. with her husband Vince McMahon, as a “fierce advocate for Parents’ Rights.” “Linda will fight tirelessly to expand ‘Choice’ in every State in America, and empower parents to make the best Education decisions for their families,” Trump wrote. “Linda will use her decades of Leadership experience, and a deep understanding of both Education and Business, to empower the next Generation of American Students and Workers, and make America Number One in Education in the World.” Story here: https://readlion.com/trump-names-former-cabinet-member-linda-mcmahon-as-next-secretary-of-education/



Meanwhile, illegal teachers’ union strikes in Massachusetts are nearing their third week, amassing thousands in fines. Three Massachusetts teachers’ unions are continuing their illegal strike, forcing 10,000 students out of school. The Beverly Teachers Association (BTA), the Union of Gloucester Educators (UCE), and the Marblehead Education Association (MEA) are on strike in their respective school districts, even though public union walkouts are outlawed in Massachusetts. The districts are in the Greater Boston area. Gloucester school board chair Kathleen Clancy said they’d offer the union “the largest salary increases ever” in the district’s history but needed to make sure the city “does not overstrain its finances or be forced to make service and personnel cuts.” Beverly leadership also made generous offers to increase teacher salaries by nearly 30% and paraprofessional wages by nearly 45%. But the unions still aren’t satisfied, even though they’re running up against legal ramifications. A judge told the MEA to end their strike by Nov. 14 or else face a $50,000 fine, with an additional $10,000 for every day the strike continues. BTA and UCE are compounding similar fines, though their penalties started on Nov. 12. NBC10 reported the BTA is scheduled to appear in court next Monday.
