Jerry Seinfeld's taking his kids' former school to task ... ripping into the place of learning for offering "distressed" students the day after the election off -- basically saying the school's making kids too soft.

00:00Let's talk because well when you get out to vote there are can be consequences for children in your home really
00:08I'm trying to say this with a straight face, but Jerry Seinfeld
00:12Came out to really blast the school that his children used to attend good on Jerry a private school in New York City
00:20Where they are allowing?
00:23Children to have the day off after election day if they are stressed if they are distressed by
00:32By the election and by the election results they will have the day off the this is
00:39Yeah, this is real
00:42School yeah the school. It's the Fieldston school is the private school in New York City
00:47So look at what the New York Times because they the New York Times did some digging on this right and according to their
00:52sources the email that went out said
00:55Excused absences will be allowed on Wednesday or whatever day the election results are announced for students who feel unable to
01:03fully engage in class
01:07Oh my god, it's you know it's true that election day
01:11They are raising that these schools are educating kids. We're gonna be so
01:16Screwed up as adults because they can't take
01:20Conflict they can't take loss. We're trying to protect these kids a little soft. This is a little secular
01:27I don't know if the kids even can the kids love the day off right. That's what they are about
01:33The we are projecting on the kids something they don't need I see it all the time my kids go to this fancy private school
01:39They would never do something like this
01:41But they do project on these kids a level of softness and maybe that does is gonna manifest itself in years
01:47They present well this but the kids don't care about the election nearly as much as the parents do the kids will be just fine
01:54If the parents are basket cases at home, I suppose the kids are gonna be basket cases, too
01:58But that's whether they're at school or at home
02:00Have the kids go to school learn study biology for the day instead of politics and they'll be fine. My name is Michael Steele
02:07I'm from Urbana, Illinois
02:08And I think it's just ridiculous to let kids take a day off of school because of the day after election
02:15Maybe the day of what their parents are voting
02:18But I just think it's crazy the day of but I that would be if you're letting them off for the parents to show them
02:24To take them with them to show them the civic duty of voting if you were doing that then at least that would be an excuse
02:30But the yeah, there's no stress of it
02:33Ridiculous good on Jerry Seinfeld
