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.”

Did you claim Obama wasn’t eligible?

Looks like he had questions in '08...

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

I had one yesterday which I noticed.
They have been posting every day since January, but I had never seen them posting before.
Looked at history and they posted once last year, once the year before and nothing for a couple of years.

First we do not know they were his comments. Its not on any source official to Trump. That being said it likely helps him in NY where he can put away Cruz with a large win.

......they went on to say how Cruz is the only one who can yada yada,....

Sounds like all the Cruzbots infesting Freerepublic, and every other website across the internets.

Face it, Ted is lying about being a natural born US Citizen
Face it, Ted is lying about cheating Dr. Ben in Iowa.
Face it, Ted is lying about getting cash from Goldman Sachs
Face it, Ted is lying to his wife about getting some action outside their marriage.
Face it, Ted is lying about his Conservative roots.
Face it, Ted is lying about being a DC outsider
Face it, Ted is lying about being a Christian

And face it, Ted is lying about respecting the will of primary voters, Ted, Jeb!, and the rest of the GOPe are focused on stealing delegates, and thus the nomination.

We cannot have another deceitfull, bait and switch, Liar in the Whitehouse

Well well, Ted’s big mouth certainly is paying off in dividends now.

While I agree with your statement, the inmates running the asylum isn't good!

Cruz should have "stuck to his guns" regarding his New York Values comment.

Any state that would elect a couple of complete pieces of $#it like Cuomo and DeBlasio shouldn't be coddled.

Instead, he should have provided a self-narrated driving tour of NYC illustrating it's rotten-to-the-core nature with plenty of video hightlights.

I wouldn’t be so ready to see this as a repudiation of a candidate you don’t support so much as a leftist tactic to keep other ideas out of their little world.

Well, that's exactly what it was. Marxist teachers are proud of their little SJW's.

But why waste an opportunity to trash the other guy with ridiculous conflations and speculations?
