Jerry Seinfeld doesn’t understand why children could feel upset about this election
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld‘S children famously opposed eating vegetables to the point that his wife, Jessica Seinfeldhas built a cottage industry around the preparations intended to trick the nation’s children into devouring the products.

In an email to parents with the subject “Election Day Support,” the principal of Fieldston Ethical Culture School (a small private K-12 school in the affluent Bronx suburb of Riverdale) wrote that “this can be an emotional time for our community,” and that the school will “create space to provide students with the support they may need.”
According to the note, one suspect was prompted by questions sent to the principal from parents of attendees that excused absences would be allowed the day after Election Day (or whichever day the election was held). presidential race is held) for any student who feels they will not do so. can “participate fully in classes.” The email also includes references for parents to help children get through election-related anxiety and how to talk to children about this year key race.

Whatever the culture, we make gates. If you fail to create a gate, you will be eliminated from the game. The game is: Where is the gate, [and] How do I make the gate and go down the hill?”
It’s a nice respite for more progressive-minded comic book fans, especially those who believe his “cancel culture” comments have made the character one-minded. It seemed tragically out of touch. Sadly, that respite appears to have come to an end, as Seinfeld’s grittier side has revealed itself to everyone. New York Times this week.

“What kind of lives have these people lived that makes them think this is the right way to treat young people?” Seinfeld asked the reporter Christopher Maag. “To encourage them to wear seat belts. This is the lesson they are giving to ungrateful money.”
