Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recalled how her public-school teachers thought she needed “remedial education” because she had grown up speaking Spanish at home.

The freshman lawmaker, speaking Saturday at a packed town hall organized by the Jackson Heights People for Public Schools, said, “As a child I spoke Spanish first. … and I went to a school where no one looked like me. I went to a school where teachers thought I needed remedial education because I spoke two languages instead of one.”

So, she walks away from a place with no mortgage and a very affordable monthly bill, to someplace bigger, more expensive having to pay rent and utilities. She’s an idiot.
No-she is a democrat. Being fiscally responsible is out of their grasp.

What exactly is a “high stakes” test?

This child is warped and probably missed out on grey cells in the gene pool lottery.

Her stealing tips from co-workers is proof she is nothing but a sociopath.

Didn’t they rename Queens for a Mosque ?

No, just a street in Queens. Councilman Lancman, one of the backers of this stupid move, is JEWISH and a libtard unfortunately. In 2001, the muzzlimes murdered 3,000 innocent people right here in NYC---I was a witness to the towers burning---and in 2019, the idiots (and I do mean IDIOTS) on the city council name a street for a mosque.

They had to tell her something about why she rode the short bus to school.

Re: Armonk

Yes. I goofed.

I had a college friend who lived in Yorktown Heights, and his Dad worked in R&D for IBM.

Did IBM have a chip fab in Yorktown Heights in the 1960s-70s?

My friend's Dad only drove a couple a miles to work, and he worked in a very large facility.

I have no idea. IBM closed a lot of facilities.
