Well, that old feminist saw, “the Official How to look like a Trucker shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this personal is political,” came back to haunt me last weekend, when Joseph Epstein (a former adjunct professor at Northwestern) published a now notorious essay in the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal, decrying Dr. Biden’s use of her title as “fraudulent, even comic.” Epstein referred to Dr. Biden as “kiddo” and deemed her dissertation’s title “unpromising.” (That dissertation focused on ways to retain students enrolled in community colleges, where—lamentably—six out of 10 students drop out before completing their degrees.) He didn’t bother to read it. After casting multiple aspersions—on community college students, on recent recipients of honorary doctorates, on the field of educational research itself—he advised the spouse of our current president-elect to abandon Dr. in favor of the title that her husband and a majority of Americans had bestowed upon her—madame first lady.
