Cruz visit to Bronx high school canceled after students threaten a walkout:
The Daily News ^ | 04/06/2016 | BY CHAUNCEY ALCORN, LEONARD GREENE

‘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.”

Cruz should simply ignore New York and encourage his supporters there to vote for Kasich instead.

I feel like the veteran Freepers think that anyone who is too new to sign up are paid operatives or something. I’m new too, but my parents have read this site forever and finally got me to visit it because of my interest in this year’s elections.

My passion for my candidate is what drove me to begin posting. In fact I’ve never posted comments on any website up until this year, and have been reading the alternative news online for the past decade.

Cruz = Bush III.
If you liked the mealy-mouthed fake conservatism and big government under both Bushes, you’ll love Ted.

Could be.

There also could be people paid to post for Cruz.

It’s been a few months ago but I asked why you used a leftist site to post a Trump hit piece. I’d have to go back to find it, but I did spend 30 or 40 minutes looking at your recent history and selected some of the articles you posted - these are from about 8 different places. I don’t know how far left CNBC is considered but there seem to be about 8 total here in the list. Links and partial notes are sometimes included.

These particular articles are more pro-Cruz than anti-Trump (at least by title), but we’ve got one where Trump is “scary” and another where an “expert” tells us that supporters of Bernie Sanders could vote for Trump. Right now, that’s about as far back as I care to go since I’m hungry and tired.


sargon: [That’s no more or less legit than a 2006 sign-on posting a Trump attack article from the most left-leaning web site on the internet...]

2DV: [Name it.]

Here, I’ll name it for him.

We’ll just go back to a couple of weeks in March or so and note the articles posted by 2DV, from sites usually considered leftist at FR (granted some are used in various ways).

In this list, 2DV posted articles from the Huffington Post, Salon, Daily Beast, NPR, Mother Jones, CNBC,

The New York Times and the Washington Post.

And there could be people here that are or were paid operatives for Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Donald Trump or Ted Cruz, for all we know.

When some work it like a job, it causes me to notice. In the particular case, it is a posted who posted a daily hit piece on DT, virtually every single day of the week and about the same time of day, too.

There were a few that were running interference for Obama on his eligibility. At least 3 (two I know the names, one I forgot) who were constantly running interference for Obama and then disappeared not long after the 2012 election.

Yeah, I wish it did pay. Spent / spend a lot of time here.

But one learns a lot, too. Better than the MSM “sources”, especially on TV.

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

Attack the purveyor of news one doesn't like - how democratically Klintoon of you.

Soooo
Who had the great idea of bringing Ted to the Bronx for his coming out party in NY?
Because that right there is funny.

Trying to get that minority vote from Trump I guess

...but whoever set this up, did a disservice to Ted.

Sure. The illegals and gibsmedat thugs, egged on by some libtard teachers of similar mindsets, wrote this letter. Good to see how open-minded they are and how they are teaching the students to entertain multiple viewpoints before making a decision. Anyone who stands for law and order is NOT going to be well received in Illegal-land, aka da Bronx. They’d rather welcome Al Sharpton as a role model to speak in their school, a thug just like themselves.

At least I tell you why I think you're full of it - while you and the other Cruz-bots/Cruz-or-Lose-ers pull Chuckles Bidens by just mocking how long a poster has been here instead of attacking the meat of the articles.
