What does this even mean?
She spoke in “tongues”, “forked tongues.
Hell, my grandfather, as an immigrant child, spoke 4-5 languages before he came to America and learned perfect English. (He spoke Russian, Yiddish, German, Herbrew and perhaps some Polish).
Occasionally Conscious Cortex is the Al Sharpton con-artist of the political world, the “Mrs. Ed” of today’s TV only not as smart.
She should be known as the modern “Talking Tower of Babbling”. She’s so incompetent at speaking “sense” that my old English teacher from the 50’s jumped up out of her grave and shot herself because she couldn’t stand to hear a supposed “American”, college-educated (how did she get a degree in Economics from Boston Un?) woman speak so incoherently and get away with it.
My Thesaurus, upon hearing AOC speak, burst into flames to put itself out of the misery of hearing her mangle the English language.
And all of this from a privileged NY Puerto Rican-heritage wackjob.
New York is the laughing stock of the country re supposedly educated people, esp. politicians. Forget California. Nothing can salvage that insane asylum bowl of cereal - full of nuts, flakes, and fruits.
However, since DeBlasio wants a “meatless Monday”, let’s ask his wife is she endured one? /sarc, snarky and DGAS.
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,
To begin with, it's a lie.
Consider NY OR NYC in 1995 or 6 (when she started school) ... we were WELL on our way to being taken over by any number of enemies and speaking Spanish was considered an asset.
The statement is designed to make America look bad and her look good.
That's all lefties EVER do.
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
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.
