https://hillreporter.com/the-ties-that-bind-jeffrey-epstein-william-barr-donald-trump-34107While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons.

My mother taught there. She had a bachelors from Barnard AND a masters from WELLESLEY just to teach PHYSICAL EDUCATION in 1950. (Lee Remick, the actress, was one of her students.)
There's something wrong with a school like Dalton hiring a DROP-OUT WITHOUT a degree to teach mathematics. I don't care that he was a genius or not. For Dalton, it just seems unlikely.
