Linda McMahon mixed up AI and A.1. — so of course now the steak sauce is all over it
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.”

How can anybody make jokes about this knowing what's at steak?
Sorry, it's rare that someone makes a misteak this bloody funny.
Oh, well done.
If you order it well done you're going to need some A1 to go with it.
It’s rare.
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.
Being qualified is what disqualifies you from this cabinet. Can’t have any of that pesky competence getting in the way.
We’re in a Kakistocracy
I've seen more competent cabinets in an ikea
Just wanted to clarify her role a bit. Hope it helps!
Its such a regarded, nearsighted plan, the whole project 25 thing
All for the shareholders, praise unto them!
They want to destroy that department. So they put someone who is dumb and hostile to education in charge.
Further question: Did she mean AI teaching or Al teaching?
Yes, please. A Weird Al in every classroom.
I only know of one Weird Al, but in my mind, this is a job creation opportunity. There could be a whole new industry built around taking regular Als and turning them weird.
We're suffering a critical shortage of normAls to make weird
He'd be an improvement.
I doubt she know the difference if she doesn't even know that AI stands for Artificial Intelligence.
Lowest iq country on the planet!
Secretary Linda McMahon likely refers to it as "1q".
The video. She said it 3 times.

Powerful steakholders are trying to steal money from our schools . We must light a fire under this topic and get the juicy details.
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.
Just don’t get her started on the topic of why HP pencils are so important to education.
This clueless woman is meant to be a leader in education.
Well, she was was never really meant to be that.
Make America Grill Again
I'll have the steak.
Lack of decent education is why the US is dying.
To many tombstone pile drivers has taken a toll on poor old Linda’s mind.
Artificial Onetelligence
Also, how old is that husk?
They were still using dunce caps when she was in school
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.
It's fresh from his ass.
"Trust me" is not a source. No, I don't trust you.
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.
When's the next drop coming?
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.
I've heard some smart people say her husband might be Don jr's daddy.
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.
