Excitement ran high as AFT President Randi Weingarten escorted first lady Dr. Jill Biden onto the stage at the AFT convention in Boston. With regard to public education, there is no more crucial person in this administration than Dr. Biden, Weingarten said, because she sees and cares about the work lives of educators. “We’re big fans of your husband,” Weingarten said. “But can I be really honest here? We’re really, really, really big fans of you.”
