What does this even mean?
It is absolutely clear what this means:
1. It means that AOC attended a school
2. That the teachers at that school thought that she should receive remedial education.
3. That the reason those teachers thought that was - because AOC is bilingual.
As the father of trilingual children, I can confirm that schools are very eager to sign up any multilingual child for "special education." That is because the schools often have a vested interest in doing so: They might have a federally-subsidized program for such special programs, and get lots of $$ for every child they enroll in them.
My own daughter - who is fluent in three languages and published, at age 17, a play in a foreign language for which she is actually receiving royalties (was performed again just last month a couple of hundred miles from here), and who was Valedictorian of her HS class - was likewise brow-beaten, admonished for speaking foreign languages on the playground, encouraged to sign up for "remedial" classes, etc., so I am qualified to state an opinion here.
That doesn't alter the fact that AOC is a pompous twit. Also, that she is probably engaging in race-baiting here.
Regards,
My son is bilingual. Can carry on a conversation with 2 people in two different languages at the same time (I’m sure your daughter is the same). No teacher ever suggested that he was stupid for being bilingual. I just think that AOC is just trying to make up an excuse to explain why even at an early age she was widely considered to be a dumbass.
