Why would that matter? Are you insinuating that an advanced degree somehow makes someone more tolerant. I have an advanced degree and do not think I am more/less tolerant than those that don't have one. That is a pretty closeminded judgement. Also, I don't think a Jewish area would have an impact on the tolerance toward a Lesbian family. That insinuates that non-Jews are intolerant. Perhaps this family would like to find a more diveres area. But as I said earlier, I can't imagine any one town discriminating on LI. It is an individual bias. To categorize towns is in itself demeaning and potentially incorrect and stereotypical.
