Cruz family's Cancun trip rattles their private school

[Gothmog]

We know how Heidi's texts were leaked. St. John's School brags about rejecting both W and Jeb. I was a college recruiting event with my oldest and the head of admissions at Yale played to the parents by explaining that W and Jeb were admitted to Yale as Legacies. Here, these parents will not want Carnival cruz's kids to go classes with their kids until after a quarantine

Three weeks before Sen. Ted Cruz embarked on his ill-fated Cancun trip to escape the aftermath of Texas’s devastating winter storm, the elite K-12 Houston private school attended by his two daughters emailed a Covid warning to parents about international travel.

The bottom line: St. John’s School students who travel internationally must quarantine for 7 to 10 days upon their return. And they won’t be able to even learn online while in isolation.

The rules, pegged to CDC guidelines, were sent Jan. 30 in reaction to a controversy that gripped the school after its winter break, when the 11th and 12th grade classes had to promptly quarantine because students attended holiday parties that led to multiple Covid-positive infections.

A divide had formed between the parents and students who followed the safety guidelines and those who flouted them — a microcosm of the broader societal conflict that plays out daily across the nation.

3. Welp, there goes his World's Best Dad award (that he gave himself).

[SunSeeker]

4. LOL. Yup. nt

[SunSeeker]

5. His daughters are going to hate him even more now.

[ret5hd]

6. Did she give the White Power sign?

Rewatched...
She did...yes she did.

[NurseJackie]

8. She's either flicking a booger at him... or trying to pop him with her finger.

Although I understand her desire to NOT get near creepy Cruz... it's still very obvious that she's a brat.

15. I politely have another take on the daughter behavior.

I will not automatically call her a "brat" because of what is seen in a few second gif. We have absolutely no idea what goes on behind closed doors at the cruz residence. He may be absolutely the worst parent in the world, just faking seemingly to care on national t.v. Kids are perceptive, ted may only show attention to his family when the cameras are rolling.

I do not blame her for going ewwwww, he seems quite despicable.

23. That's probably it, she was sick of being a prop for his campaign. nt.

[Hortensis]

7. Imo, over the line accusing a child of hating her father. Does anyone know

what an angry child making that gesture at her father might mean? It looks like something girls in her school do.

11. Also being carried at what looks to be at least 10 years

I could almost imagine

"Daddy! You must buy me a ticket to Cancun, NOW! DADDY!"

[Hortensis]

20. Over the line, i.e., unacceptable, inappropriate.

[Mariana]

21. I think she was seven when that happened. nt.

[alphafemale]

25. Still WAY too old to be carried

Unless you are trying to create an insufferable human being.

[cwydro]

10. I find nothing amusing about that, if true.

Very sad actually.

[alphafemale]

9. A little off topic...but

Don't members of Congress/Senate have unlimited access to a top of the line gym?

[Generic Brad]

17. Yes, but no one uses it because Rand Paul is always there

That guy is insufferable.

[alphafemale]

19. Good point

[MissMillie]

12. When I heard about is trip, I wondered why he'd take his family travelling.

I even said to my guy, "Why are people flying all over the place when there's still a pandemic?"

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. Some seem to think wealth, position, or religious proclamations bestow immunity.

[tanyev]

14. That makes it even more mystifying that he used "I can't say no to my kids" as his first excuse.

I asked for a pony lots of times when I was a little girl and my parents never had a problem telling me no.

[dsc]

16. I can't understand why they aren't permitted to learn online

that makes very little sense to me.

[Mariana]

22. Many private schools have ridiculous rules that make no sense. nt.

[dsc]

24. sadly my public school had an equally dumb rule

we banned our unvaccinated (for other diseases) from even doing online work. I am not sure what the new vaccine was that our people didn't have but there was one.

[yellowcanine]

18. Aw come on. Ted is just trying to be a good dad.

[Hekate]

26. Jarvanka's kids were booted out of their elite school months ago for safety violations....

Other parents complained about the Maskless Duo being at all those WH activities.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. This amuses me

28. Best not fuck around with St. John's School.

Anybody who's a Houston resident ought to know that, Senator Ted fucking Cruz very much included. It's just one dumbass move after another from this guy...
