Ted Cruz rallies in Texas For School Choice (2 videos included)

Party lines intersected at Minute Maid Park Saturday as two top Texas politicians came together to promote school choice. 

Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee shared a stage during a rally to kickoff National School Choice Week, an awareness campaign slated to include roughly 5,550 events around the country. 

"We've got people from the entire political spectrum here," KIPP charter school co-founder Mike Feinberg told the cheering crowd. "Last time I checked there were no Republican children or Democratic children, just children who want a great education."

Cruz emphasized that all children, regardless of their families' economic backgrounds, should be given educational options. 

"School choice is the civil rights issue of the 21st century," he said during the rally. "We want choice and we want it now."
