Derick Dillard jumped to his wife Jill Duggar’s defense after fans accused her of not having a higher education! As Counting On fans know, the Duggar children were homeschooled by their mom Michelle in order to obtain their GED, but many did not pursue traditional schooling afterward.

Fans raised suspicion about Jill attending the college because the family never mentioned her studies on Counting On. Jill became a Certified Professional Midwife in 2015. However, she is no longer licensed as a midwife in the state of Arkansas because her mentor Venessa Giron’s license was rescinded after a fatal accident with a patient.
