Restoration of Page, Criticism Section

[edit]

I removed the criticism section as per Wikipedia guidelines found here as well as the guidelines on Libel:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criticism#%22Criticism%22_section

I moved the correct criticism to other places in the article, and removed the incorrect criticisms. Per the Wikipedia guidelines linked above, this is exactly what should happen to criticism sections.

Furthermore, although they argued "the criticism section was valid", Atlantic306's reversion restored numerous factual ranging from as simple as Holcombe's birthday (1966, not 1968) to the characterization of Holcombe's support for Act 46. It is a matter of fact that Holcombe did not forcibly merge any schools, she wasn't even in office at the time those mergers were mandated. The forcible mergers became policy in November of 2018 while Holcombe left in March of that year.[1]

This is one of many correctable errors riddled throughout the article that I removed. Most of the "criticism" is dedicated to the forced mergers, which don't even apply to Holcombe as she wasn't Secretary of Education at the time, or responsible for that policy in any way. That's arguably libel, and why I removed it.
