One out 18 of Jill’s siblings attended the graduation. No one else from her family.

which one attended? Were there limits on how many could attend?

It was James. I think he is about 19 or 20 years old and was on Jill's "buddy team" (basically each of the four older daughters were in charge of a "team" of younger siblings so their real parents didn't have to actually raise the children.)

To be fair, I would not attend my BIL's graduation. The after party at the house, maybe. But the hours long graduation? Bleh. Not to mention pandemic capacity limits.

Have any of the girls pursued an education?

You act like they have a choice and declined.

Well, there is nothing technically stopping the older ones now who have moved out. I could see Jinger or Jill pursuing something, perhaps. One or two of them were learning to be midwives, but I'm not sure what ultimately happened with that.

They have had no formal education growing up.

Oprah offered them all scholarships and JB turned it down.

The education they received is an absolute joke.

My niece dated an ex-fundie who had the same type of homeschool curriculum. He was doing adult continuing education classes to learn the things he was never taught, especially in science, history, and math. The "science" he was taught didn't even acknowledge that dinosaurs were ever real. Also, his history lessons were heavily edited.

He went from homeschool to college and flunked out after the first year from being so unprepared.

I find it very hard to believe that he and the Duggars received their GEDs with the amount of "knowledge" they had.

He had an ex con working at the car lot at one point in time. I bet he'd happily say it might have been that guy instead. Or even possibly one of his brothers or a customer or or or...I don't think he has any shame about throwing someone else under the bus.

I thought he did blame the ex-con early on.

I think the news was speculating that he would.

I could see Jill doing it, because I think Derick would encourage it. She'd probably need to go to community college first just to "catch up" on all the education she didn't receive in her teens. I think Jill is definitely capable of working hard and getting in a degree (probably in nursing.)

I'm not as sure about Jinger. She seems perfectly content with things as they are, and I think Jeremy is also content having a less educated wife. It seems like a power trip for him.

She seems like the one who has adopted her spouse's interests the most, of all the married siblings. She's moved to a sporty clothing style, wears Jordans, moved to LA. It could be her exploring a newfound freedom, but those characteristics also happen to be Jeremy's preferences as well.

These are people who celebrate homeschool graduations, gender reveals, the list goes on. These people also had dozens of friends and family at their house, unmasked, for New Year's.

Jim Bob has always been skeevy. Michelle was 17 when they got married (JB was only 19), but had a sort of normal Christian upbringing, and was even a cheerleader in HS. Then she met JB, experienced a religious conversion, and they got married... after he discussed it with her father. Then everything became about Duggar, and Michelle's identity was faded away. I have very little, if none, sympathy for Michelle, but JB is the biggest villain here. He has promoted this culture to his children, and they either fall in line or sever ties. Interesting that Jill is banned because she stepped out and made her own life, but Josh is all in, despite being a child molested and viewer of child sexual abuse material. He didn't go against JB, so he's still in the fold.

Jinger was always on the sporty side. This is the infamous photo that sparked the "free Jinger" movement, when she was seen candidly wearing track pants in her parent's home, years before getting married.
