BOSTON — Jill Biden may be known to the world as the first lady of the United States, but to her students at Northern Virginia Community College, she’s simply Dr. B.
AFT President Randi Weingarten’s introduction of Friday’s headliner at the American Federation of Teachers Convention in Boston succinctly summed up the difference between Biden and former first ladies.
She has a job, and raised some eyebrows two years ago when she decided to continue her career after Democrat Joe Biden — or Dr. Biden’s husband, as he calls himself when he’s in a roomful of teachers — was elected president.
