Ocasio-Cortez scorches NYC schools at Queens town hall

I agree....She lies profusely. And her speeches amount to diarrhea of the mouth.

[Alas Babylon!]

She said when she “first” went to school.

That would be kindergarten or first grade, no?

Five or six years old.

So she was still in NYC then.

[Sacajaweau]

Let's be real. The teachers spoke to her in English and she spoke back to them in English. Looking at her parents, I'd say Spanish was her SECOND language.

I'd like to hear her speak Spanish. Why hasn't she spoken Spanish at any of her "campaign" meets? Or has she??

[real saxophonist]

Obviously she never did learn English.

[RoosterRedux]

I think AOC has fully bought into the postmodernist concept that reality is not that which is supported by facts but that which you "believe" to be representative of the "moral high ground."

She should take up wilderness camping to see how her ideas of reality work out in nature.;-)

[miss marmelstein]

Wasn’t her father an architect? Or did I imagine that?

[mac_truck]

She knows nothing and will say anything.

Agree...she's a loose cannon.

I saw this yesterday:

Teacher: “There are alligators that grow up to 15 feet.”

AOC: “The ones I’ve seen only have four feet.”

[mom.mom]

She’s certainly not an endorsement for Boston U’s economic department.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The PR Princess trashing America again. What the hell is she doing here? She needs to go home to the wonderful land of her ancestors.

Armonk is corporate headquarters for ibm, not yorktown heights.Yorktown heights is 17 miles away.

That is 500 bucks each. Heck I was paying 500 month in the late 70s just a few years after college. With a degree from BU why didn’t she have a real job bilingual and all?

[petitfour]

I wonder if her horse teeth in small head caused speech issues.

[gcparent]

1926 same with my mom. No English spoken at home. Started school speaking only a foreign language. Mom ended up speaking English without a foreign accent and it became her primary language.

[FrdmLvr]

Her father was a highly educated architect and they lived in Westchester Co. Why would her father speak English as a professional outside the home and only Spanish in the home?

[kenmcg]

She’s right about NYC schools..........they suck!

[GailA]

She is Ignorant of how LIFE works. Much less government. When was the last time Civic/Government was taught in our Public Schools.

Has anyone checked for the FACTS she went to Public Schools?

[butlerweave]

Didn’t they rename Queens for a Mosque ?

Years ago when I was registering my son for grade school, one of the questions on the form is what language is spoken in your home. I put down English and Spanish. The principal asked me, does your son speak English well? I said he speaks very little Spanish but is totally fluent in English. The principal then said, “take Spanish off the form, otherwise we will have to evaluate him for instruction in Spanish.” I did.
