First lady Jill Biden called for community college education to be "free in America" during her commencement address in Arizona to Mesa Community College's class of 2024.
At the Saturday event in Tempe, on Arizona State University's campus, Biden's call was met with cheers from those assembled, as she further spoke about her own role as an educator at a Virginia community college while her husband serves in the White House.
"On behalf of President Biden, Vice President Harris, and the Second Gentleman: Congratulations, Class of 2024, we are so proud of you," Biden said.
"I teach at a community college for the same reason students go to community colleges.
They’re flexible and meet people where they are.
And, as my husband, President Biden, says, they provide the 'best career training in America.'"

Fascist regimes loathe education and critical thinking. Wonder why.
