十年前，佩吉·弗拉纳根在主张立法鼓励明尼苏达州公立学校增加教师多样性时，曾表示自己“以优等生身份毕业”。
Peggy Flanagan said she “graduated Phi Beta Kappa” while arguing a decade ago for legislation to encourage greater teacher diversity in Minnesota’s public schools.
如今身为该州副州长兼民主党联邦参议员提名人的弗拉纳根，当时是明尼苏达州众议院议员。她称大学阶段的教学多样性，使自己从一名高中毕业时绩点仅 1.75 的学生，转变为明尼苏达大学的优等生。
Now the state’s lieutenant governor and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee, Flanagan was a Minnesota House member when she said college teaching diversity transformed her from a high-school graduate with a 1.75 grade-point average to a University of Minnesota honors student.
