WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a video to her constituents Monday evening, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compared mandatory math classes in public schools to “concentration camps.”
Ocasio-Cortez made several comparisons between public school arithmetic lessons and concentration camps, referencing the brutality of the Holocaust throughout her address.
“Kids are, like, being forced to learn numbers and do, like, long division,” she said. “And even short and medium-sized division. This is basically what happened in the Holocaust. Math teachers are, like, pretty much fascists. We should call them Add-Olf Hitler. You know, because of the additioning they make us do.”
“This isn’t happening in the ’40s either—this is happening in 2019,” she added as she began trying to cook some instant noodles in the microwave. “We are basically living in Nazi Germany now.”
Ocasio-Cortez was forced to cut off her live stream after smoke began billowing out of her microwave.

I don’t believe 5% of the people can do long division.
That’s all I ever learned growing up. I still do it in my head watching baseball games and figuring pitch counts per inning.
Level: Epic. Subject; Clown World. You know when things have acclerated to the epic level when humor sites like the Onion and Babylon Bee are reporting the actual news as opposed to the (((traditional))) media. HONK HONK HONK. Will someone please get her and Bozo O’Dork their official red nose and multicolored wig? It should have come in their inauguration welcome kit.
She probably thinks a concentration camp is where you send your kids during the summer so they can learn to focus…
its for the ADHD crowd.
And she is supposed to have an economics degree? I did a lot of math taking Economics classes in college. I am beginning to think she paid somebody to take her classes for her.
After seeing the economic incompetence of AOC I bet leadership of Boston College is cringing. What have we learned from watching AOC since she has been elected? If you want a career in economics you may want to avoid Boston College.
Great tits, but man is she stupid.
Eliza Doo-Cortez served coffee until she found a greater calling.
I think they sagged a bit since her college dance video. If she wins a second term she may have t tuck them in under her belt.
Issue
The rights of Canadians to freely hold and express beliefs are being eroded at an alarming speed under the Trudeau government. Some of its recent decisions even require that Canadians renounce their most deeply held moral convictions and express opinions they disagree with.
In 2018, the Liberal government denied summer job funding to organizations, including charities, that would not sign an attestation supporting abortion. It also passed bill C-16 as part of a trend to force Canadians to express support for the existence of various gender identities beyond the biological categories of male and female, and to use pronouns demanded by those who identify with these other genders.
In addition to these assaults on conscience, the government launched a series of regulatory attacks on free speech on the internet and is pressuring social media companies, which are already censoring speech that isn’t politically correct, to crack down even more. It is also considering bringing back Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. This hate speech provision was repealed by the Conservative government in 2013 because it was being used arbitrarily to censor statements that offended some people on the internet.
In what appears to be a first step towards restricting our right to criticize some religions, it adopted M-103, a motion that condemns religious discrimination but only specifically mentions one religion, Islam, and without defining the term “islamophobia.”
Finally, on university campuses, a growing number of faculty and administrators—those who should be fighting for open debate of controversial ideas—have become aggressive advocates for censorship.
Facts
History and social scientific research show that freedom of conscience and freedom of expression, when maximally protected, advance the intellectual life of a nation, foster greater ideological diversity and societal understanding, and nurture other freedoms necessary for a successful democracy.
This is why Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees citizens freedom of conscience and religion, as well as freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.
Our Plan
What some people find politically incorrect, offensive or even hateful cannot serve as the legal basis for discrimination and censorship. Canadians should be able to enjoy maximum freedom of conscience and expression as guaranteed in Section 2 of the Charter.
A People’s Party Government will:
Restrict the definition of hate speech in the Criminal Code to expression which explicitly advocates the use of force against identifiable groups or persons based on protected criteria such as religion, race, ethnicity, sex, or sexual orientation.
Repeal any existing legislation or regulation curtailing free speech on the internet and prevent the reinstatement of section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
Repeal C-16 and M-103.
Ensure that Canadians can exercise their freedom of conscience to its fullest extent as it is intended under the Charter and are not discriminated against because of their moral convictions.
Withhold federal funding from any post-secondary institution shown to be violating the freedom of expression of its students or faculty.

Slouching towards Shitholia.
That reminds me. I saw the biggest, fattest tranny ever today. It was what you call a “trans woman”. This dude was about 6’5” and close to 400 lbs. He was wearing a low cut dress and had the haircut of Jennifer Aniston when she was on Friends.
The Lucy Ricardo of politics.
This is “Babylon Bee,” people… humor and parody, like The Onion.
I must admit, the headline seemed 100% plausible though. She’s said so many @#$# fucking stupid things I could believe almost anything. I think she will eventually come out as a pure troll, not a sincere idiot leftist.
…will somebody put that dog down and end its mental suffering……
I thought that this was satire, not a factual reporting of AOC’s understanding of the world.
AOC?
She’s bucktoothed, hispanicky, and yes, a part-Jewish “chosen-ite” politician just like much of CONgress. It doesn’t matter if she is really stupid or just putting on an act, they’re all Israel-firsters. Actors like Rand Paul and that Muslim congress-witch are just token opposition.

AOC is what the Left considered an “educated” person yet, every time she opens her mouth, in goes the foot. That’s why we should all consider a badge of honor whenever a leftie dubs us “uneducated”. What this really means is that you think good Math and Language skills are good for your future.
And I am expected to imagine and believe that this is not a real story. That it is only satire. No fucking way, Jose.
She obviously “don’t need no stinkin math”
Stupid TWIT.
Kids cannot do what teachers cannot teach.
