Showing Original Post only (View all)Cruz family's Cancun trip rattles their private school [View all]
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 Texass 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. Johns School students who travel internationally must quarantine for 7 to 10 days upon their return. And they wont 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.

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

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