Topic: If Indy were born 70 years earlier, he wouldn't have been able to have been a teacher

> Rose Freistater (born September 24, 1908)[1] was an American schoolteacher who rose to prominence in the 1930s when she was denied a teacher's license in New York for being overweight. While other teachers had been denied their licenses because of their weight, Freistater was the first to appeal the decision to the Commissioner of Education of the State of New York, doing so in 1935. The Commissioner refused to overturn the decision and Freistater was not issued a license.

If he was born 70 years earlier, he would have been much less likely to be overweight.

Maybe so. But wouldn't he also be more likely to not have gotten a master's degree? Did they have diploma mills back then?

Getting a mail order bride out of Mao Zedong's China wouldn't have been easy either.

@OP
Did that law only apply to New York state?
