How is it that telling public school parents they need to use birth control is deemed "civil" but booing the person who said it is deemed "uncivil"?

"I look forward to working with you on the very difficult issues that we are all facing"
- Like hell, Cathy, your kids go to private schools.
"be thoughtful, but bold"
gag me.
"the opportunities of the 21st century"
"raise standards & expectations"
"help our kids meet that higher bar"
she is an awful speaker, as well.
i agree with this commenter:
"If she was a teacher, she would be rated U for talking to herself and not listening to what is happening in the classroom. We truly live in an dream, as we have the top honcho of the largest educational district in the world without a clue of how to “motivate” an adult crowd. But then, this is NYC under the leadership of the Supreme Leader, where nothing but this wishes are represented and valid in the public arena."
Lousy public speakers ignore the crowd & continue to drone their irrelevant canned remarks.
Or bureaucrats akin to those in any dictatorship.
