At the weekend, a debate erupts in the United States about the doctorate of the future First Lady Jill Biden. The demand: The educator with a doctorate should rather do without it. The outrage about this is not long in coming. An article in the newspaper urging future US First Lady Jill Biden to renounce her PhD has sparked widespread outrage. Michelle Obama, wife of former President Barack Obama, assessed the column on Monday as evidence of the social resistance that working women still face. “Far too often, our achievements are met with skepticism and even ridicule,” wrote Michelle Obama on Instagram. Columnist Joseph Epstein had asked Jill Biden, the wife of President-elect Joe Biden, on Saturday in the “Wall Street Journal” to refrain from using the doctorate. He justified this with the fact that she had earned this title in education and not in medicine. Epstein called Jill Biden’s use of the title “fraudulent” and “somewhat weird”. He also condescendingly referred to the future First Lady as “kiddo” (roughly: “little one”). “After decades of work, we are forced to prove ourselves all over again,” commented Michelle Obama. She saw Jill Biden doing for eight years what many working women do – namely, “successfully dealing with multiple responsibilities at once.” Michelle Obama was referring to the time when Joe Biden was Vice President under Barack Obama and Jill Biden was already playing a prominent public role as Vice President’s wife. Jill Biden continued her work as a teacher at the time, fulfilled her official obligations in the White House and at the same time fulfilled her roles as “mother, wife and friend”, said Michelle Obama.

69-year-old Jill Biden wants to continue teaching as first lady. She also got support from former Secretary of State, ex-presidential candidate and former First Lady Hillary Clinton. She wrote on Twitter: “Her name is Dr. Jill Biden.” Clinton mockingly urged the columnist not to “take himself so seriously.” Michael LaRosa, spokesman for President-elect Biden, appealed to the Wall Street Journal to apologize to his wife for the column. Biden will take office on January 20th. His election victory over incumbent Donald Trump on November 3rd was confirmed this Monday by a vote by the so-called Electoral College. This is the college of electorates who, according to the US indirect electoral system, ultimately determine the president based on the results in the individual states.
