The article starts out by saying "Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recalled how her public-school teachers thought she needed “remedial education” because she had grown up speaking Spanish at home..." Honey, it wasn't because you grew up speaking Spanish at home. I think most people would agree it's because you're dumber than a bag of hammers, and then some. The really funny part is that you THINK you know everything about everything and can't stifle yourself expounding about matters of which you know jack.

She knows so little, she doesn’t know what she doesn’t know.

It is probable that her teachers were trying to HELP her learn English so she wouldn’t be handicapped by not speaking the language of the USA as she grew up. Problem is, she never grew up and exhibits the typical veil of perceived victimhood sought after by most leftards.

I went to a school where teachers thought I needed remedial education because I spoke two languages instead of one.

What does this even mean?

“AOC, who ran partly on a platform of free higher education, owes between $15,000 and $50,000 in student loan debt, her Congressional disclosures show.”

PLUS $850,000 her campaign syphoned off then an additional $1850 in New York taxes for her failed business.

As a rule, teachers DO NOT tell a slow child that they are genetically handicapped. They come up with some polite fiction, like speaking Spanish as a primary language, that enables a Stupid to be blissfully unaware that Gaia and their parents f%&ked them over.

I suspect she didn’t speak English proficiently, which is understandable when another language is spoken at home, but has to use every opportunity to play her race card. Being put into remedial courses is meant to help, not insult.

I'd say she needs remedial education because she obviously does not understand how banks work. Or how tax breaks for businesses work. Or how socialism works, for that matter. The education she did receive in college was obviously not very good.

When she stole tips from her co-workers at the bar, she demonstrated a working knowledge of socialism and government.

It was like an unofficial internship that prepared her well for her current job.

“It wasn’t until she took a “high stakes” test in which she scored in the 99th percentile across the board, she said, that educators realized that she did not need extra help.” ---

"she scored in the 99th percentile"

That must have been one brain-dead school.

After talking to some millennials, I found out why I think that she’s she’s a complete idiot. It’s from “paying attention to Republican scaremongering.” It seems that I’m too stupid to form that opinion from listening to her own words. They ignored my response and still claim that I’m being influenced by the right.

She’s a fabulist.

Her family moved from NYC when she was five.

She is shhhhh stew pet.

Her dad most assuredly spoke engrish, as he was born in the bronx as a 1st generation American and it would be u unlikely she was raised speaking anything other than American

I have friends with similar histories in California and they grew up speaking engrish but, understood Spanish secondarily

I am a simple white caveman. Her ways frighten and confuse me but, I swear by the beard Zues, my Spanish is better than hers...

From the link: “She said her whole family “chipped in” to buy a home in Yorktown Heights.”

I’m skeptical.

Yorktown Heights is the corporate headquarters for IBM.

It’s very expensive to live there, so I am instantly suspicious that a bank would issue a loan for a single family home based on a “group” down payment, or that her parents could afford the monthly payments on their own.

Second, the public schools in Yorktown Heights are as good as you can find in the USA.

I’ll speculate that 25% of the kids in her class were Asian or Jewish, which means that the other 75% of kids probably ALL needed “remedial education,” too!

She slammed.

Then she hit.

Now she’s scorching.

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.”

Both of those statements don't pass the smell test.

First, she doesn't look different than most folks...perhaps a little cuter than most.

Second, her teachers thought she needed remedial education because she was bi-lingual?

She's lying. Again.
