Jerry Seinfeld criticizes kids' old NY school for giving ‘distressed’ students the day after the election off

"Emotionally distressed" students at the New York City private school Jerry Seinfeld formerly sent his kids will be able to take the day after the election off, prompting harsh criticism from the comedian.

Students of the Ethical Culture Fieldston School "who feel too emotionally distressed" the day after the election will be excused from classes, according to a Thursday announcement, the New York Times reported. Excused absences will be permitted on Wednesday or whatever day the election results are announced for students who feel unable to "fully engage in classes."
