Secretary of education Linda McMahon keeps calling AI, A1.

Only the best people.

McMahon said she’d heard about “a school system that’s going to start making sure that first graders, or even pre-Ks, have A1 teaching in every year,” which she said was a “wonderful thing.”

But the comment wasn’t just an isolated slip of the tongue. McMahon added, “Kids are sponges. They just absorb everything. It wasn’t all that long ago that it was, ‘We’re going to have internet in our schools!’ Now let’s see A1 and how can that be helpful.”

    Holy shit. And it wasn’t just one slip up. She used A-One several times.

    Jesus christ. This the person that is supposed to be at the forefront of education in the US. WTF.

      When the smoke clears, the topic will be seared into the public consciousness. Its a rare opportunity to measure the public’s appetite for such a policy.

    Never forget: her husband shit on a woman’s head while some other dude was railing her.

    She was not the woman.

    She is scorned and taking it out on the rest of us.

    The McMahon family was the orchestrators of the “assassination attempt” / false flag theatrics.

    Fake blood and everything.

    They are all low life scumbags

      Can you point me towards a source on the false flag theatrics? I assume you meant Trump, but all I can find is about a congressional campaign

          Evidence free claims and shrill defensive response when evidence was requested. Your contribution to the Internet has zero value. Do better.

          So you don’t have a source then.

          There’s already so much wrong with this adminstration that’s verifiable and documented, we don’t need to spread misinformation. Be better than this.

                That’s ok. You can believe whatever you want.

                Just like I can.

                I believe you’re lying when you say you don’t believe me.

                Because trump is intersex and staged his assassination attempt.

                I’m sure there’s some other plausible explanation for why the wwe lady is in charge of the country’s education.

                Trump wouldn’t do “pay to play” would he?

                Don’t trust me bro.

                Trust yourself.

                  I want you to take five minutes to yourself and think about what’s wrong with accusing people you don’t like of being secretly trans.

                  Like I said, there are already so many things wrong with Trump that are confirmed facts. You do not need to invent such stupid conspiracies.

                  Holy Lord, I think we just found the Left version of qanon.

          Yeah… I think both the WWE family and Trump are garbage, but this post absolutely failed to convince me.

          If this is the truth and you really want to spread it, this tactic of “ur so dum you don’t see it” without any evidence is having the opposite effect.

          Why is it a bad thing that a person is trans? What you’re saying sounds just like Republicans. You are suggesting that a trans person used the wrong bathroom and that their genitals should be inspected. Who’s side are you on? Sounds like MAGA.

          What’s this “we” you’re talking about? I would rather not even have to think about his privates, let alone involve myself with the inspection.

            I love horror movies and gross out comedies.

            I’m all in on seeing whatever nightmarish mush of skin and dyed blonde grey pubes he’s got under that soiled nappy.

    No, you fucking idiots. A podcast host said he listened to the actual speech and she clearly mentioned AI before talking about A1 classes and this is a selective snippet to represent something inaccurately. That’s what the right does all the time, like the Biden clip where he was “talking to no one” when they framed out a parachute jumper. They lie. Don’t give them an opportunity to say that they’re being misrepresented. They have tons of real things to be called out. Feeding into this gives them ammo to fight when real shit happens.
