Letter 5

Linda McMahon? For my part, I can't imagine a more fitting appointment to Secretary of Education than a former pro-rasslin' executive. Someone who is experienced in the business of staging phony competitions for rubes and smarks, all spectacle, no substance, is the perfect exponent of what American education has become: a pointless display that claims to be something that it is manifestly not.

Just like “wrestling” in the context of the WWE is not really wrestling, “education” in this context isn't really education.
