All the doctors of education putting doctor in their Twitter handle is so empowering. Take that, white man!

I don’t understand why anyone would care what anyone calls themselves.

She earned a doctorate. If she wants to be called Dr. Biden or Mrs. Biden or Miss Biden or even Mr. Biden. Call people what they want to be called. It takes zero effort.

As for the others in this thread, don’t let anyone else’s idiotic misunderstanding of the title undermine anything.

Jill Biden is a teacher and an educator. An educator who continued studying until she earned a doctorate in teaching. She’s not going to be surgeon general nor will she be giving specific medical advice, aside from probably trying to help convince people to wear masks.

She’s a teacher. She kept teaching even during the vice presidency. I think teaching is a commendable profession.

I had an English teacher in high school who had her doctorate and she was totally bad arse. She got paid more than her bachelor and master degrees coteachers and she was probably the best teacher at the school.

The school called her Dr. they were proud that a teacher of her caliber and education committed to that level of education. it took nothing.

I don't know if any of them are lawyers, but if one of Trump's kids called themselves doctor because of a JD, you'd corecctly call them an a-hole. Just as an example.

Imagine if this were Trumps wife, the left would be going bananas.

The right will behave a hell of a lot better over the next 4 years than the overemotional progs did.

I don’t know. But we called all of our teachers in university who had PHDs Dr. ____

I only know a few lawyers out of the thousands I’ve met have the stones to call themselves doctor.

My greater point is that Mrs. Biden is a teacher. Never claimed to be a medical doctor. Has no interest in medical advice. And that I respect teaching as a profession. I have no quibble with people with education or merit in their field wanting to be called whatever.

I call my old Coaches, coach. And I’ll call the head chef at the restaurant, Chef. It’s a title. Who cares.

Also I read that article. It was a dumb argument to make.

Distilled: undermine what your career and expertise because your greater role is through your spouse’s work.

Seems like a silly thing to suggest. All First Ladies have their projects and mission. Melania’s was anti bullying. It would not surprise me if Jill’s was education related. There would be nothing wrong and nothing dumb about a woman with a doctorate in education spearheading an education initiative as First Lady. One doesn’t have to be at expense of the other.

A new puff piece about “Dr” Jill Biden on GMA. Michelle OBama comes to her side.

I’m not exactly telling anyone anything new here, but write a negative piece about the Biden’s or Kamala in the upcoming few years, you better fear for your life. Or at minimum your job and livelihood.

Well no shite. The media will protect Biden just like they protected Obama.

Last four years: Latest update on Trump being a racist nazi!!!!

Next four years: Joe Biden loves puppies. Here's all the puppies he loves!!!!

Agreed, people who still automatically equate the Dr. Pre-fix with being a medical physician are likely not that bright.

The Dr. prefix means they received their doctorate in some random subject. They are supposed to be an expert in their subject area. It doesn't mean they can perform a surgery.

The amount of liberals I've seen suggest Dr Jill be surgeon general confirms your suspicions.

And yea, this article was pretty ridiculous.

Did you just assume all medical doctors can perform surgery?

What school did you go to? I really can't think of an instance where I called one of my professors "Dr."

While true, a college campus is not the place to say that. They'll take it personally.



Yeah, half the faculty is probably a Dr. is something non-medical

Negative opinions about the president and his family will no longer be allowed.

They were afraid to call her out on that, she was not alone believing that Ole Joe had the upper hand on Trump because his wife was a Doctor.
