Antimasker Ted Cruz sends his kids to a private school with a mandatory mask policy

Texas senator Ted Cruz energetically opposes vaccine and Covid mandates. He even introduced legislation to ban mandates. On Monday Cruz told Fox News, "That means no mask mandates regardless of your vaccination status. That means no vaccine mandates. That means no vaccine passports. And I've introduced legislation, a bill to ban vaccine passports. This week, I'm introducing a bill to ban vaccine mandates, and this week I'm introducing a bill to end mask mandates."

Oddly enough, Cruz's children don't attend public school. They attend a tony private school in Houston, which requires masks regardless of government rules around Covid, or lack of them.

I won't name the school, but here's a screenshot of its face coverings policy, which states, "Due to the current situation in our community, all persons on campus will be required to have a face covering."

So, Senator Cruz, when are you going to remove your kids from this oppressive private school and place them in a public school where the delta flies free?

I Love mine as well. ..

Mask and vaccination helps protect everyone, Sen. Cruz understands that, but alas, he just does not care.

his kids don't seem to like him very much. Which seems to be the general opinion of about everyone else that knows him. How (and more importantly WHY) Heidi puts up with him is a mystery to me. She out-earns (and out-works) him. And is much easier on the eyes.

These are kids from rich families. Explains why they don't have a care about public schools.

… Jarvanka’s egregious flouting of school regs regarding COVID safety.

Fingers crossed that your kids’ alma mater can find a way of getting rid of the Ted Cruz association. Sucks to be a misbehaving politician’s kid, but there you have it.

I was at a senior college recruiting function where juniors talked to head of admissions of some college. My son's year they had the dean of admissions of Yale where Jeb and W went and the school repeatedly rubbed the fact that St. John's rejected W and Jeb in the face of the dean of admissions of Yale. Basically she stated that W and Jeb were legacy admissions which is how they got in
