Jerry Seinfeld is excoriating the bright New York private school – which his children attended – for allowing “stressed” students to skip class the day after the election

A hyper-bright, $65,000 private school in New York City will allow “emotionally distressed” students to skip classes the day after next week's election – a move that drew the ire of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, whose Children once attended elite schools.

In an email titled “Election Day Support,” Ethical Culture Fieldston School Principal Stacey Bobo promised to “create space to provide students with the support they may need” following the White House campaign , The New York Times reported.

Students will not be assigned homework on Election Day and there will be no assessments on Wednesday, Bobo said.

Children will also be allowed an excused absence on Wednesday or when election results are announced if they feel unable to “fully participate in class,” Bobo continued in her email.

Seinfeld, 70, told the Times that decisions like this have forced him and his wife to move their own children out of prep school.

Seinfeld's sons attended the elite school. However, one son was transferred out of the school when he reached eighth grade, the Daily Beast reported.

“That’s why the kids hated it. “What kind of lives have these people led that makes them think this is the right way to deal with young people?” he scoffed.

“To encourage them to give in. That’s the lesson they teach for ungodly amounts of money.”

Ethical Culture Fieldston School positions itself as a bastion of cultural diversity – and became a hotbed of anti-Israel hatred following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack and the war in Gaza.

In May, two seniors wearing keffiyehs wrote “Free Palestine” in chalk on the brick wall above the main entrance to the Bronx campus.

The incident prompted administrators to hold a “listening session” with parents, including “parents from Jewish affinity groups,” The Post reported at the time.

“The biggest problem is that things that come up around anti-Semitism are not taken as seriously as issues like racism or homophobia,” a source claimed.

“They only care about the impact that something to do with race or homosexuality has on students. It’s a big double standard, as if anti-Semitism doesn’t play such a big role.”

“These pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas things come not only from the students but also from the teachers,” a former parent added.

Later that month, “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin's daughter celebrated her graduation from Fieldston by posting a scathing, anti-Israel message on her Snapchat.

“Now that I have my diploma: FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE,” Paloma Hostin wrote in a Snapchat post obtained by StopAntisemitism and shared on X.

“And to all the MFS who took screenshots of my stories and showed them to your parents who tried to suspend or kick me out, look at me now,” she continued.

The year of infighting between parents and students was followed by the resignation of principal Joe Algrant in August.

Fieldston was founded in 1878 by Felix Adler, the son of a rabbi.

Fieldston, along with Riverdale Country School and Horace Mann School, are collectively referred to as “Hill Schools.”

The school has a history of serving children of celebrities and Manhattan's elite and has a long list of famous alumni.

Manhattan restaurateur Eli Zabar was a graduate, as was photographer Diane Arbus.

Broadway star Stephen Sondheim also attended the lower school.

While the past 12 months have brought plenty of controversy at the prep school, some parents said they believe the institution is acting appropriately ahead of Tuesday's election.

“I think it is absolutely the right decision. These students are very smart. I think their rights are at stake, whether it's on election night or five years from now, and they know it,” Joe Couchman, who has two daughters in Fieldston, told the Times.
