Here is one brief item on EdD.
https://www.uagc.edu/blog/edd-vs-phd-whats-the-difference


“And let’s be real about this. The quality of Ed.D programs vary wildly. I have yet to see the research that shows the degree is correlated with stronger leadership or academic results in a school district. It’s a practical degree designed for educational management positions, and doesn’t require the same rigorous research of a PhD dissertation. And I’m sorry, it’s not really in the same ballpark as a medical degree.” Excerpted from the following:

Even the worst school leaders love to call themselves doctor

Are EdD still called Doctor?
What is an EdD Degree? An EdD, or Doctor of Education, is a professional doctorate best suited for experienced educators and mid- to senior-level working professionals who want to lead and implement change within their organization. notheastern.edu site Sep 12, 2019

There are others saying the EdD should be ended.

Yes and “doctor” means teacher. It's physicians who are the johnny come latelys to the prefix.
IMO the problem is that they made a “discipline” out of teaching. There's more difficulty in being an auto mechanic.

Jill Biden is NOT a PhD. She is is an EdD. Not the same by a long shot. And she is not a mathematician or physicist. She is an ESL teacher, teaching English to ignorant Salvadorans.

But she is not even good enough to lick the shoes of this guy: Harold Ramis teachs English (youtube).

No, they are LITERALLY “Doctors of Philosophy. Not Medical Doctors which is what the WH, MSM and all the other leftist pukes out there want to portray her as.

Interesting. I thought Megyn was smarter than that. She obviously never took Latin in high school or college.

The title comes from the Latin word doctore to teach. The degree, Ph.D. is from the 1600’s or earlier and is a doctorate of philosophy, an academic degree.Anyone with a Ph.D. is a doctor.

The M.D. is a more recent professional degree for physicians from the early 19th century. Before that those who treated sick people were barbers and blood letters and had minimal formal training. Physicians began to call themselves medical doctors because it sounded more impressive. At many medical schools the professors there have both the professional degree and the academic degree.

Meg is a lawyer and has a J.D. That’s another nouveau professional degree. Lawyers thought the J.D., Juris Doctor was a fancier degree than an LLB, Legum Baccalaureus, Bachelor of Laws.

“PhDs are doctors. They are literally doctors”

The average person doesn’t know that, and she has a Ph.D in education, which is like about two extra years of high school effort.

Ah yes I recall everyone saying the following titles when speaking of:
Speaker Dr. Gingrich
Secretary of State Dr. Rice
Secretary of Defense Dr. Esper
Director Dr. Petraeus
National Security Advisor Dr. McMaster
Secretary of State Dr. Albright

Remember how everyone always said their names just like that?
