The principal at a progressive Manhattan private school told parents in an email last week that the Trump presidency was more troubling than Vietnam, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the September 11 attacks and Watergate, The Post has learned.
Steve Nelsons scorching missive managed to roil several parents at the $46,000 per year Calhoun School no small feat considering the Upper West Side bastions blaring liberal bent.
It was inappropriate, it was offensive, it was condescending, said one parent. This is a liberal school. So I guess thats the approach. But this was too much. To compare this to 9-11 I think thats just too much.

Must not be very old.....or brain dead
How appropriate.
A picture of this pompous ass.
I can’t take this person seriously because of his obvious lack of commitment to public education. /sarc
Private school? Works for me.

He didn’t mention Pearl Harbor either. Or Woodstock.
Gaydar going off on this ahole loon....
