AOC opposes school choice but got her goddaughter into charter school

Don't you just hate it when someone says to you: "Do as I say, not as I do"? It's infuriating.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos verbally obliterated socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over AOC's [aka "I Can Cook, Cha-Cha-Cha;" aka Alexandria Occasionally-Comatose] obvious hypocrisy. The socialist from the Bronx is a staunch critic of school choice but it was uncovered that she got her goddaughter into a charter school.

“This area’s like a lot of where my family is from,” the socialist said in a Facebook Live video in 2017, before she became a public figure. “My goddaughter, I got her into a charter school, like, maybe a block or two down.”

Like maybe, yah, what.

“Embracing charters would be a big no-no for Ocasio-Cortez’s Democratic socialist base, which calls for the total abolition of charters, arguing that their existence hurts traditional public schools,” The New York Post reported. “Though Ocasio-Cortez has frequently talked about how her own family fled the Bronx to avoid the borough’s failing public schools, she has also publicly stood in total lockstep with anti-charter advocates.”

Her philosophy is: "if that's like where they live, they should go to school there and, like, forget about it." Her definition of "they" is everyone not in her family or friends circle.

DeVos responded to The Post’s report by exposing AOC's hypocrisy, tweeting:

 How nice that @AOC claims to have helped her goddaughter get into a public charter school. It’s a shame she works to deny that opportunity to every other disadvantaged family in America. “Good for me, but not for thee,” indeed. #EducationFreedomhttps://t.co/a2RhOEeU0o

Ray Domanico, director of education policy at the Manhattan Institute, blasted the lipsticked loonbag for her hypocrisy.

“I am not surprised by the hypocrisy,” Domanico told The Post. “Charter schools are incredibly popular with the communities and populations that a lot of these Democratic politicians claim to be representing … People in the Bronx can find a good school for their young ones now as the congresswoman apparently did for her goddaughter.”

I once worked at a charter school in New York City's Spanish Harlem, so I speak with a little experience.

These schools are often better than public schools because teachers are held accountable for their performance and can be terminated from employment if they are not performing well. Public schools are unionized and it's practically impossible for them to be terminated short of committing a serious criminal act.

What's really troubling is how the left-leaning media refuses to expose the hypocrisy of their fell leftists.
