Paid Members DCW Posted March 6, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 6, 2025 Trump is rumoured to be creating an executive order dissolving the entire Department of Education. Does that mean auld Linda is out of a job? I suppose she can always reprise her outstanding role as zombie Linda if she's stuck for a few quid. Quote

I love how this is written like Meltzer or someone mentioned it in the Observer. Quote

No, but what it would mean is she'd be personally responsible for what will probably be a very unpopular dismantling project of the Education Department, and would then become a probably equally unpopular federal overseer of State education programmes; checking they're chanting their daily Trump recitations and whatnot. If you're a WWE PR person, I suspect this whole thing is a major concern. Edited March 7, 2025 by d-d-d-dAz Quote

Not as concerning as if you are a school teacher who is not sure that teaching any black history of the United States might get you fired because you've breached the no more DEI statute. That is a question that Linda was asked and refused to answer. Quote

Except NXT where they're all too busy faffing with Qanon. Quote

And l'm sure being a PR person for WWE is liked being handed a sieve on the Titanic and being ordered to clear the water from the upper deck, but demolishing the department of Education will end up being unpopular with everyone. Even the MAGA loonies who aren't billionaires will end up resenting this fucking stupid idea. Quote

The DoE is what they are getting rid of Deathers. States will then run their own schools. Science in the southern states will be interesting. Quote
deathrey Posted March 7, 2025 Posted March 7, 2025 Bloody hell. That will be a fucking disaster. We have plenty of issues with National Curriculum here but at least school can't teach any old shit. Bonkers. Quote

Which will probably be something like "the DoE were teaching your kids all this Woke stuff and so we are stopping them". Quote

Chili Posted March 9, 2025 Posted March 9, 2025 The Tate Brothers (the criminals, not Dalton Castle's pals) just popped up at TKO owned UFC slapping hands with Dana and co. Awful. It's funny to think that everyone in WWE who hated this shit could actually walk out or protest this. Obviously it's a job I suppose and it's a shit business kid, but if they felt like it, they actually could. But I think with wrestling in general we're dealing with a lot more people with awful points of view than we know about. Quote
The King Of Swing Posted March 9, 2025 Posted March 9, 2025 Yeah, a good chunk of wrestlers probably hold similar views. Some are just smart enough not to shout them out publicly. Quote
