When President Trump nominated Penny Schwinn for the number two spot at the Department of Education, conservative patriots everywhere scratched their heads. This isn’t just some random bureaucrat — Schwinn’s track record screams liberal indoctrination, not MAGA. She’s a product of Berkeley, a breeding ground for left-wing radicals, and she’s spent years hopping from state to state, dragging behind her a trail of controversies and questionable decisions. Why in the world would Trump’s team push someone like that?
Pressure from grassroots conservatives and alert senators finally forced Schwinn to withdraw from that Senate-confirmed role. But don’t be fooled. Instead of disappearing, she slid right into a cushy, unconfirmed strategist job with Education Secretary Linda McMahon. This move is a slap in the face to every American who wants genuine school reform. Schwinn still wields serious influence behind the scenes — just without the pesky Senate oversight.
What’s more insulting is McMahon’s choice to lean on Schwinn for guidance. Here’s a woman whose only “big achievement” was running a wrestling entertainment empire — not exactly a pedigree that screams education reform. Meanwhile, Schwinn’s resume is littered with liberal affiliations. She even enjoyed the backing of Democrats during her run for the Sacramento School Board. It’s painfully clear she doesn’t share Trump’s priorities on school choice, curriculum transparency, or fighting the left’s radical agenda in classrooms.
Why Did Trump Nominate This Woman? — Penny Schwinn has withdrawn her bid for second in command at the Department of Education. But where she’s going instead is almost worse. https://t.co/RSbmZgjGgv

The globalist left has infiltrated education for decades, brainwashing our kids with anti-American garbage. Appointing a known liberal like Schwinn to a powerful role is a betrayal. It undermines parents’ rights and throws open the doors for common core nonsense, CRT, and every other ploy to dismantle true American values. This is yet another example of swamp insiders pretending to play ball with conservatives while quietly undermining them.
At the end of the day, conservatives must demand better. Why settle for a fake MAGA education warrior who quietly pushes the left’s agenda? Trump’s administration talks tough, but when it comes to staffing, the swamp often wins. It’s time to ask the hard question: If this is the roster of “education champions” we’re stuck with, who is really running the show?
