[NYPOST] Just hours after a female NYPD officer was struck in the head with a bottle by a deranged man, Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal , though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
decided to add insult to injury — spitting on the profession that keeps this city safe.
"We’re now at a point where officially, most officers are paid more than a teacher with a master’s degree serving the same kids, involved in the same incidents," AOC fumed on "The Daily Show."
"We are defunding safety. Defunding our public schools," she continued. "When we are taking all of those resources and demanding every single department except the militarized ones be cut, we are sending a message about who and what we care about."
What disrespectful, factless blather.
Last year, per the Department of Education, starting salaries for teachers with no teaching experience ranged from $61,070 for a candidate with just a bachelor’s degree to $68,252 for one with a master’s.
Under the contract just signed with the coppers’ union, starting NYPD cops will make $55,000.
Moreover, if teachers are "involved in the same incidents," it’s because AOC and her ilk have successfully gotten police out of schools and pushed "restorative justice," under which teachers can’t discipline disruptive, sometimes violent mostly peaceful, students.
Finally, we’re "defunding" nothing.
