‘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.”

Democrats have learned to pander to the high concentration population centers. That’s one of the reasons Dems win.
Can’t win without some of the urban vote. Just not possible.
I think Trump gets it. The others? meh
Good!
“A heavy immigrant school in the Bronx is not fertile ground for either man to be heard”
What? That makes no sense. Cruz IS an immigrant.
Why don’t you tell us what’s factually incorrect in that article?
What an ABSURD response. No, they know what self pity and mooching smells like.
And they DONT KNOW the difference between legal and illegal immigration.
And the spoiled brats should have been told to shut up and they’ll get suspended if they walk out.
Being for Trump, which I am, doesn’t mean losing your #####ig MIND on common sense scenarios.
Are you really a conservative?
You take the side of a bunch of brats from a Bronx school, who I am SURE have most parents on welfare.
WTH is going on here lately?
The Daily News HATE HATES Trump!!!
you bunch of suckers.
they don’t give a @#$#$ about ted and they dong give @#$@$# about trump.
they are left of left.
You people are losing your collective minds.
And you make this point as if it is a new revelation... why?
This might almost be an endorsement. Cmon now NYC is no home for conservatives. I know I lived there for 40 years!
“We cannot have another deceitfull, bait and switch, Liar in the Whitehouse”
What gets me is the hypocrisy of the Cruz followers. Even on this thread denigrating the students about being closed minded. Uh, hello?! These same posters were all about “outsider” Cruz taking it to the DC Cartel. Cruz doesn’t even speak about the Washington Cartel anymore because he is part and parcel of it. So his followers, who were all about cleaning out DC,,are now all of a sudden ok with Cruz’s insider status and insider support.
Their hypocrisy is off-the-charts at toxic waste dump levels!
I’ll vote for the man who hasn’t been in Congress and been part of the problem in DC. Now let’s hear all the “open minded” scholars land on that.
Dual Canadian/Cuban immigrant.
Because someone is using their cover page to make a point.
Is that hard for you to understand cause I can use smaller words.
Now we rely on Salon and NY Daily news to support our opinions? that’s great.
Bet’cha a crisp $100 bill if students were asked if vice president Putin should be the nominee, the majority would answer....yes.
Thank the living Lord for the great state of Texas. The last conservative stronghold.
That was the single moment when my view of him changed.
“If they would stay and listen, maybe they would learn something.”
Perhaps that is what they are afraid of.
It is simply a graphic cover. No big deal. Is that hard for you to understand cause I can use smaller words.
Ah, I see. This is some kind of lashing out, emotional fit. I've read about those. Relax. You are among FRiends.
Now we rely on Salon and NY Daily news to support our opinions? that’s great.
It's just a graphic on the vast interwebs. No big deal.
I do get hyper :)
It’s he Sicilian in me.
Apologies.
I’m Sicilian, too. Let’s start a club.
lol.
Thanks for bringing me back to earth.
My first and last primary. Too much of a roller coaster for my personality!!!!
What kind of “club”? :)
We should form one. “The Conservative Sons of Sicily Society”
