(CNN)Jill Biden, a community college professor, says that if her husband, former Vice President Joe Biden, is elected president and she becomes first lady, she plans to continue her work as a teacher
.
"I would love to. If we get to the White House, I'm going to continue to teach," she said in an interview with CBS' Rita Braver that aired on CBS Sunday Morning. "I want people to value teachers and know their contributions and to lift up the profession."

It would not be the first time Jill Biden would have to balance official duties with her professional work. She taught English at Northern Virginia Community College during the eight years she served as second lady, along with working on initiatives to help military families.

"I never mention second lady. I do get asked once in a while, you know, 'Hey. Are you Joe Biden's wife?' And I'll say 'he's one of my relatives,'" Jill Biden said of teaching in a 2013 NPR interview. "Or if I get pushed I say...'I'm your English teacher.' And they'll look at me and they say, 'OK.' We don't talk about politics. We don't talk about second lady. I never mention it."

1. And I guess the current First "Lady" will continue to pose nude? n/t

What a contrast.

4. Lots of women have posed nude.......who cares?

[tinrobot]

6. Evangelical Republicans used to care.

Well, those hypocrites cared up until 2016.

7. Yes. We have had a lot of First Ladies and Presidents pose nude. Sure. No biggie.

Especially when you get an "Einstein visa" for doing so and chain immigrate your parents and sister while first working on a tourist visa.

Yes, that's fine.

5. Someone in that family will need a legitimate job after all this. n/t

13. I think one of them already has one.

One Mary Trump is apparently a clinical psychologist. It seems to me she recently released a book, as I recall. Now let's see. What was the name of that thing again? Oh well. It'll come to me.

2. ''he's one of my relatives,'"'!!!!!

Can hardly wait!!!

3. Don't bring home the 'rona!

8. I can only imagine the problems with that

all the secret service having to be there and all the students trying to enroll in her classes. Best to give up on that idea and stick to bring First Lady.

9. That would've been true for her when Biden was VP, too

10. while i understand Dr. Biden's love of teaching, her schedule will be so packed she will not have

time to teach. She can also use her FLOTUS platform to promote education and elevate the teaching profession. Teachers need to be paid a livable wage, need to be respected and protected. Students need GREAT teachers who truly love the profession, care for the kids they teach, do what they can to impart knowledge & inspire them to greatness.

In any case, Dr. Biden is an admirable woman and would make an amazing FLOTUS no matter what she chooses to do!!
