Unreasoning fear of The Other just doesn’t work in NYC. Folks there have various sorts of dealings with The Other about a dozen times a day.

Destiny Domeneck, a 16-year-old student involved in the effort, told the New York Daily News that Cruz’s policies run contrary to the school community’s values.

Stones. Destiny needs to distribute them far and wide. Post haste.

Note to self in unlikely event I have kids at my advancing stage of life: don’t send them to a school with a “CEO.”

New York values? From the guy that denied funds for storm relief up there? As my friends from Texass used to say, “fuck you and the horse you rode in on you sorry sack o shit.”

The letter noted:

He has used vulgar language, gestures, and profanity directed at a scholar and staff members, along with harassing and posing threats to staff and scholars according to the Disciplinary Referral slip. This is not to be taken kiddingly or as a joke. We are students who feel the need and right to not be passive to such disrespect.

Wonder if there is some place I can find the details. Anyway, not getting a lot of love in the Bronx, I see.

Cruz needs a one-way ticket back to Canada. He’s actively trying to harm all of us!

We have all considered the consequences of our actions and are willing to accept them,” the letter read.

OMG, the kids are speaking a language foreign to our dear politicians…
Cruz deserves a Bronx cheer…
