Now that my winter break has officially started,I now have a moment to get my thoughts out regarding the privileged male who decided it was his job to police a professional woman. It’s difficult to choose which portion of Epstein’s remarkably asinine article is the most offensive

You can focus on the elitist judgement of comm. colleges; a vital educational institution for a diverse population of students. You can focus on the misogynistic take of calling a professional woman “kiddo” and trying to demean her accomplishments because he deems them inferior.

Or you can focus on the open hostility to doctoral degrees. What I focus on is the addition of this vile article to the clear attacks that have been building against education and intellectualism. Dr. Biden has an EdD.

This degree is pursued by educators who have a driving passion to improve education systems and student learning. Epstein claims to be an educator but his record shows that he is a small, close-minded individual who, because of these characteristics, is incapable of facilitating

improvement in student learning that is required by educators. Doctoral degrees are being pursued at a much faster rate by women and POC. I can now see just how threatening this fact is for some individuals

So threatening that a sad man like Epstein feels that he has the authority to tell them not to use their earned title. He is wrong….oh and he also is not a Dr.
