‘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.”

Are you absolutely certain?
Cruz event cancelled.
Recall the catcalls he made at Trump cancelling a Chicago event a few weeks ago.
Cruz doesn’t seem to be getting much of the red-carpet treatment in NY.
It’s going to be a long two weeks for poor Ted.
“They’re not worth your time.”
Thank you and God bless you as well. Sorry for rambling on, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
Cruz should have gone to that school and taught them a lesson...now those punks will think they control the school and .....ah hell, you can’t back down.
Look up the word “irony.”
This is the Internet. You could be a blogger in Mumbai, Manila or Moscow for all we know. You gain respect and acceptance here over time.

He deserves everything that he’s got coming to him.
My NY school would be happy to host him or any other candidate. It’s about education, not spoiled little brats.
Sociopathy on FR has been fully revealed.

I have one uncle who was a tank driver in the Korean War, another who landed at Anzio, another on a destroyer in the Atlantic and my father was on the USS Bream 1944-1945 in the Pacific theater. Just because you have the word VET in your handle, you pull no rank on me.
And I don’t want nor need your respect and acceptance. I’m pretty sure me and my family have already earned it from better people than you.
I have all kinds of relatives who served in uniform. My late father was a Marine in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. What is your point?
What did I say that wasn’t true?
“I’m pretty sure me and my family have already earned it from better people than you.”
That’s my point !!
Because the mother wasn’t old enough to confer citizenship, as I said numerous times. Try to keep up.
“How low the once superb schools of New York have fallen.”
And when were the surpurb? Blackboard Jungle came out in the 1950’s as I recall.
In all fairness, I’m a Trump advocate, bt he needs to leatn to keep his trap shut. His remarks after the WI election were childish. Trump needs to take some time off from ampaigning 80 hours a week and regroup to stop his implosion. Yes, he is imploding. I’ll take a lot, but WI was horrible.
