Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Lied About Her Test Scores to a Public Education Group
Posted at 4:00 am on March 21, 2019 by Joe Cunningham
This comes from the Washington Free Beacon, and it is a great one:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) spoke Saturday at an event focused on eliminating private education and boycotting ‘racial’ and ‘gender-biased’ standardized testing.
The ‘Education Town Hall’ organized by Jackson Heights People for Public Schools included a medley of New York’s progressive organizations. NYC Opt Out, New York State Association for Bilingual Education, Network for Public Education, Class Size Matters, Alliance for Quality Education, and Allies for Public Education participated.
One of the speakers at this event was Diane Ravitch, a former U.S. assistant secretary of education who believes that offering any children choice of schools is anti-democratic and is a major conspiracy from the right wing and major corporations meant to destroy public education.
She also has some very… questionable beliefs when it comes to teaching African-American history in schools, as pointed out by school choice activist Citizen Stewart on Twitter.

I think she failed her IQ test.

The dimwit is in the 99th percentile of stupid.

During her remarks, Ocasio-Cortez claimed her teachers doubted her academic abilities until she took a ‘high-stakes’ test and placed in the ’99th percentile.’
According to Ravitch, however, Ocasio-Cortez’s claim sparked ‘controversy’ during the event.
In a blog post generally praising the congresswoman, Ravitch notes Ocasio-Cortez could not be telling the truth about her test experience. The ‘high-stakes’ test, she explains, is not scored by percentile.
What the heck is a high-stakes test? Aren't they all either aptitude or achievement tests?
This nitwit is the most self-absorbed waste of skin ever to enter the public arena. I responded to one of her tweets by asking her if she ever stops talking about herself.

The more I see and hear her, I am convinced that she is the female version of Obozo.

She took the test and they found no IQ.

The brain scan was negative.
