Jill Biden First Lady project?

I know she's going to keep her job, but if she takes on a First Lady project, I hope it has to do with promoting news literacy and critical thinking in this country. We are losing ground because many people are so gullible. What do y'all think?

I can imagine if we promoted "critical thinking" the deplorables would get all up in arms about "them dems trying to brainwash people" when in fact it's quite the opposite.

She's got plenty of ppl who can help her juggle both competently, not to mention her talented daughter Ashley & their lovely granddaughters.
