The children whose parents didn’t want them skating at the rink should have been required to attend school while the others went on the field trip.
They could sit in study hall or they could watch some of those horrendous film strips with cassette players that we had to endure when I went to school.
Isn’t there another rink they can book down in Harlem?
Maybe invite the public school kids as their guests
Elite liberal nastiness.
Someone pro Trump who is rich, or Trump himself, ought to fund an outing at the rink for one of the PS elementary schools in the city with a large enrollment of disadvantaged students. They could go skate for free during the time slot formerly reserved for the liberal snobs.
What a story.
City government tries to do something, fails (predictably).
Along comes Mr. Trump (at the time), takes over, finishes the job and restores an entertainment venue to the community.
Mr. Trump becomes President Trump and the ingrates come out of the woodwork.
Screw'em!
“Annual skating party” implies that there was concern ^last year^ over Trump Management as DJT continued to campaign.
I’m enjoying their meltdowns.
Will they ban card games like bridge and pinochle because of trump cards?
Fine - I tell you what - we’re gonna name every business after Trump. Every park, every street corner, even change the names of the days to Trump 1 thru Trump 7.
Then the snowflakes will retreat and withdraw into tiny balls trying desperately not to “get any on them”.
Morons.
Dalton tuition is $40 K a year. That must create a lot of diversity.
The herd mentality in this country is scary.
Frankly, the only controversy attached to the ice rink, is what these idiots are attaching to it. It's a building. Has ice in it. You can skate on it. What's the big deal?
Apparently I’m very naive as I fail to see what Trump is doing to cause such angst against him. The parents, obviously suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, are denying their children an opportunity for enjoyment and teaching them to be sore losers. They are the victims of their parental rants and the parents, not children, need to grow up and learn how to face reality.
My god!!! These people are truly lunatics!
Good news. More Conservatives are created.
All the kids want to do is have fun and skate, and all they know is that their psychotic parents won’t let them.
Punish your kids for your political beliefs...nice folks.
“Apparently I’m very naive as I fail to see what Trump is doing to cause such angst against him.”
He got us into Viet Nam? Oh wait...He got us into the Iraq War...oh wait..He called Rosie O’ who is a pig and a horrible fake mom, a pig...that must be it?
“Liberal parents at The Dalton School reportedly refused to send their kids in protest against the president, forcing the school to pull the plug on the event.”
The above is a caption of an article from two days ago put up by the Daily Mail Online, but since taken down.
The school tuition is greater than $40,000 per year and the school is held up as one the most prestigious which is probably overrated by lying progressive liberal.
The ethos of the school is that progressives in parental ranks control all political indoctrination. In this case, a few liberal parents made a phone call and the kids are denied a winter treat in a beautiful setting.
It would be a good idea for rank and file Trump supporters from Staten Island to make a loud protest outside Dalton and also where they decide to take the kids in lieu of the Wollman Rink which the Trump Organization operates in Manhattan. The kids would benefit to learn their parents are disrespectful to the working American public. Let that thought plant seeds of revolt for a future marginalization of Manhattan uber-liberalism. It’s a long shot and seemingly trivial but it’s a first step in taking them down.
The protest could have themes of wealthy liberal elites denigrating America’s working class. If this is done loudly, the kids will remember their parents are unpopular which will go a long way in turning the tide. Other themes could be that Dalton supports migration of terrorists and rapists into America. Protest Dalton’s enslavement of young minds to political correctness. Set their liberal attitudes on fire.
Perhaps some parents will be able to find a more suitable school for their children.
