Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s two daughters will have to quarantine seven to ten days after returning from their famous trip to Cancun, and will miss classes at their expensive private school all week, according to a report.
Politician reported on the strict mandatory rules of the pandemic in the elite St. John’s School in Houston, and only show the last cost of the senator’s deaf-ton trip to the Mexican tourist city, which occurred while millions of his electorate were suffering from cold, water shortages.
Cruz has faced the recovery of the trip from all angles, including Houston Police Chief and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
There was still a great commotion when he blamed the trip on the girls, aged 10 and 12, whom he said had asked for the exit. On Thursday it had already been guessed that it was “obviously a mistake”.
So many parents commented hotly on the trip to the $ 31,820-a-year exclusive school Facebook page that administrators closed the site to comments, Politico said.
The school requires that students traveling internationally have to spend forty to 10 days on their return and the school has no online teaching option.
A few weeks before the Cross trip, the school warned parents to travel amid the pandemic in an email, Politico noted.
“At the end of the day, he is taking this heat to use his children as an excuse to take a vacation. And that’s a mistake, ”mother Lara Hollingsworth said on the website.
“From a parent’s point of view, all I’m asking is for the school to follow CDC guidelines and I have to say I have no reason to believe they won’t.”
“I don’t feel bad for him,” Victoria Konar, another father, also told Politico. “There are people marked by those who believe they are the VIPs of this school and don’t want to bother following the rules because it violates their social life.”
Cruz representatives say the children will follow the policy.
“Sen. Cruz’s daughters plan to follow St. Paul’s policy. Johns, ”a spokesman for the senator told The Post.
St. John’s did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
