Ethnicity in lede
Per MOS:ETHNICITY, Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Cardona was born in Connecticut and is ethnically Puerto Rican. Because Puerto Rico is an American territory, native Puerto Ricans are American. Therefore, defining Cardona as "Boricua-American" is a violation of MOS:ETHNICITY. While I have very little knowledge of Puerto Rico and Puerto Rican culture, a cursory Google search yields that the word "Boricua" is a colloquial or informal term. It is not appropriate to use anywhere in the article. KidAd  talk  22:43, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Is Boricua a pejorative? I cannot see getting into a lather over including a word that many English speakers need a dictionary for. I had to look it up. I guess I'll downgrade to SP now. O was going to invite Authentichistorybuff to opine, but they are unavailable. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 23:50, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm having trouble thinking of an equivalent. I don't think it could be categorized as a racial slur, but it's certainly slang. KidAd   talk  00:03, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

FWIW, Telemundo Puerto Rico used the word, Wiktionary calls it a "colloquialism" in both languages. Would like to hear from those who argue for its use. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 00:18, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Should I ping someone at random from WikiProject Puerto Rico? Or Category:Puerto Rican Wikipedians? I'm kind of nervous to do that. KidAd   talk  00:34, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh. Post to the Wikiproject's talk page. That would be a great idea. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 00:39, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

President-elect cannot nominate cabinet members
Please do not change the infobox in this article to say that Cardona is the nominee for the Secretary of Education until the nomination has actually been made; only the president can make a nomination and Biden has not yet been sworn in. Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 06:08, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It's clear that editors have no interest in discussing this issue but prefer to lie to readers so I am unwatching this article and moving on to other things. Best of luck everyone! ElKevbo (talk) 16:52, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
