Angry parents pull kids from class over Ivanka Trump visit

Some Connecticut parents reportedly pulled their kids out of school after first daughter and presidential adviser Ivanka Trump made a surprise visit.

Trump on Monday spoke to high school students at the Norwalk Early College Academy, a program at Norwalk High School that allows students to earn a high school diploma and associate's degree in software engineering.

The visit was kept quiet due to security concerns, according to New Jersey's News 12, which reported that parents who opposed the president's views were upset that they did not know about the visit.

"This should have been brought to our attention, although I do understand security reasons," parent Karey Fitzgerald told News 12. "I think we should have had the choice to send our child to school or keep them home."

Trump was joined by IBM CEO Ginni Rometty on the visit.

And if in the past eight years, a parent had dared to pull a child out of class because by the visit of one of the Obamas...

So the kids get to meet the President’s daughter and the CEO of IBM!

Yeah, you should stay home for that!

I’m sure they meet President’s children and CEO’s everyday there in Norwalk.

I remember back in 2009 the media and Left were condemning parents pulling their kids from school over some national Obama speech.

#2 Sanctuary state.

Ivanka discovers she’s not as liberal as some would believe.

Any parent that would keep their kid home from meeting Ivanka Trump needs a visit from Child Protective Services.

THey should have not only sent the kid but got autographs, sold them on ebay and donated the money to Hipsters Anonymous or something. Never let a crisis go to waste and for petes sake don’t whine about it.

This is one of those times when child protection services should pay parents a visit.

Petty. You've got to be taught to hate and fear. You've got to be carefully taught.

"She needs to visit more schools."

Maybe bring Joy Villa along with her, to sing some patriotic songs...in this dress, of course.
