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.”

She lies...
An up and coming Democrat attacks teachers... one of the groups most closed aligned with the Democrat Party. How stupid is she?
Since people can vote in Spanish in Estados Stupidos, it’s the school’s fault for not offering her the texts, homework, and tests also in Spanish.

>>Her aides say that she and her partner struggled to pay $1000 a month to live in the condo she got from her dad
$1000 a month in NYC sounds like a sweet deal. Does her dad offer any of his other rental properties at that fair rate? Or does he discriminate? What does the new tenant pay there?
Nonsense, I grew up speaking three languages.
If anything the early proficiency in more than one language leads to better brain function.
The more difficult language is, the more intelligent the group as a whole.
English is very difficult conceptually.
But its clock is being cleaned by Mandarin
It means if she is telling the truth ( doubtful) she was offered ESL
Probably such remedial assistance is federally mandated to people who claim the language spoken in their home is not English
Its not “ special ed’ as this lying kook is implying
It’s free tutoring
This is a transparent lie. These teachers are probably still teaching. I wonder if we will hear from them?
Most likely made up by this soon-to-be-indicted campaign fraud idiot!
Apparently, the dad died. Mortgage was paid. All she and her partner had to come up with was HOA fees and property taxes. Estimated by aides to come to around $1000/month. Toss in some utility bills and that’s a deal ANYWHERE in NYC.
And then, when the news came out that she didn’t really live there, she said she moved to another, bigger place a few streets over. 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.
Spanish, or English...and idiot is an idiot.
“...but has to use every opportunity to play her race card.”
Bingo, and we have a winner!
She’s like so intelligent, you know. She coulda been a contender.
AOC still needs remedial education!
chip on shoulder?
Yorktown Heights high school is not in NYC.
In 1922, at the age of 5, my mom started school. She didn't speak a word of English. She learned with the other children and graduated from High School at the top of her class.
Why does AOC thinbk she's so special? She's a nut case.
The Democratic Party is the political arm of the teachers’ unions - the solid leftist core of this country, with commissars in every state, funded by taxes wrung from those they would rule. She’s done if they fund a primary opponent against her.
I thought that, too.
She went to a school where no one looked like her???
In an immigrant/Puerto Rican district of NYC???
Yeah, right. The poor baby!
What school would have anyone that looked like her, a place where they break horses?
Her parents lived by bourgeois values. They moved her to a white neighborhood because the schools are better. Sandy acted white.
Professor Amy Wax was castigated as a racist for suggesting that minorities adopt bourgeois values.
