Random fact: All five of the leading Dems in Iowa are married to educators.

Jane Sanders (former college president), Bruce Mann (law professor), John Bessler (law professor) Jill Biden (English professor), Chasten Buttigieg (junior high teacher).

If I were to vote in a presidential

Expertise is threatening for many people. Fortunately we're not going to pander to them. (nt) ehrnst Feb 2020 #4

Not saying it's justified -- in fact it's the kind of educational achievement-bashing MAGAts love -- but it's there, so proceed with caution.
