Jerry Seinfeld Blasts His Kids’ $65,000 School For ‘Woke’ Agenda

Jerry Seinfeld gave his unfiltered opinion on how schools should not handle Election Day in response to an email from his children’s old school.

Stacey Bobo, principal of the upper school at Ethical Culture Fieldston School, where Seinfield’s children used to attend, recently sent out an email entitled “Election Day Support,” which allowed students to not go to school when the election results were announced, be it an emotional time for them.

The email noted, “No matter the election outcome [the school] will create space to provide students with the support they may need.” Bobo also specified that there would be no homework allowed on Election Day, and no assessments on Wednesday.

Seinfeld told The Times, “This is why [my] kids hated it,” and explained that the progressive attitude had caused him to pull his children from the school many years ago. 

He claimed, “What kind of lives have these people led that makes them think that this is the right way to handle young people?”

“To encourage them to buckle. This is the lesson they are providing, for ungodly sums of money,” he went on.

Ethical Culture Fieldston School, located in the Bronx, is an elite private school with a yearly tuition of $65,540. The school’s website states, “Students become independent thinkers as they learn that asking their own questions and seeking their own answers are key to the deepest kind of understanding.”

In contrast to Seinfeld’s feelings, many of the other parents at the school have praised the decision to prioritize their children’s mental health in relation to the high-stakes election results.

Seinfeld recently retracted comments that the “left is destroying comedy” which he said he no longer believes.
