De Blasio’s favorite Marxist poet blames capitalism, white people for problems in NYC schools

The Daily Caller reports:
Ramya Ramana, a St. John’s University student and 2014 Youth Poet Laureate of New York City, performed a spoken word poem inside New York’s city hall today that blamed the city’s public school woes on “the follicles of capitalism’s hips,” whatever that means.

Ramana previously read one of her poems at Mayor Bill de Blasio’s inauguration, “New York City,” which was dedicated to the new mayor.

The poem she read on Tuesday complained that the dreaded ‘follicles’ of capitalism were wrecking public schools. Other bad things were the result of insecure white people.

Public education is a very bad idea.
