Cruz visit to Bronx high school canceled after students threaten a walkout:

‘His views are against ours’

Ted Cruz came to New York Wednesday talking about education, but he’s the one who got schooled.

The lesson came from a group of Bronx high school students who told the Republican presidential candidate to stay away.

Cruz was scheduled to speak at Bronx Lighthouse College Preparatory Academy until students wrote a letter to the principal asking her not to let Cruz come, prompting staffers to cancel the appearance.

"We told her if he came here, we would schedule a walkout," said Destiny Domeneck, 16. "Most of us are immigrants or come from immigrant backgrounds. Ted Cruz goes against everything our school stands for."

Destiny and her classmates communicated that sentiment to Lighthouse Principal Alix Duggins.

“A group of students will be leaving during 4th period, as (an) act of civil disobedience in regards to the arrival of Ted Cruz to BLCPA,” the letter said. “We have all considered the consequences of our actions and are willing to accept them.”

How many likely voters are at high schools.

That’s what I thought.

Can’t be Cruz’s numbers. They aren’t registered in Alberta, Canada.

The possibility is that Mrs. Bill will be so popular that she and V.P. Castro will turn TX “blue” in 2018.

There’s those punkass New York values Cruz spoke of, just a bunch of limp wrist cowardice girly men. This shows how anti-American the state of New York has become. Trump should build his wall around the Northeast to contain the mental cancer that has grown there. Trump and his irrational cry baby supporters can all live in that alternative reality.

Well, here we go, Folks.

It’s gotten way too late in the game to speak up about race and immigration issues. Pooh poohing the illegality and hypocrisy of illegal immigration, and “affirmative actions” programs instead of putting a STOP to them in the 60s 70s and 80s, now that they’ve got numbers to pull crap like this.

Cruz should have gone to the school and given a speech of encouragement anyway. It would have made big news. Instead, he gave in to the Ignorants.

I don’t catch everything, or even most things.

But sometimes I am paying close attention.

Late 2015 sign-on posts Cruz attack article from the most left-leaning newspaper in New York City? Seems legit.

So, is it okay for anti-Trump articles from left leaning sites such Salon, NR (pro establishment), Daily Beast, Politico, and Huffington Post to be posted by Cruzbots? Seems a little hypocritical to me.

If the site owner doesn’t want threads from a certain site they can make them forbidden, as some are. The ones you listed are not banned, ergo, they are allowable.

The great 1f8th French enlightenment thinker and writer Voltaire said:
“I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
That is basic to our freedoms, firstly the freedom of thought and speech. Hope this ‘little girl’ finally learns this.

Weird. Vulgar language, gestures and profanity directed at staff and scholars? It sounds as though they’re confusing Cruz with someone else.

The sites that I mentioned, aside from NR, are leftist. So, why complain about another leftist site when you have no problem with the other sites (as long as they pump out the anti Trump articles)? The only difference is that this article is anti Cruz. Ergo, nothing wrong with the posting.
