Having read a number of his comments about "woke" and the impact on comedy, I think he really is a free speech supporter and longs for the days when there wasn't singular thought.

Maybe he's a Kennedy Democrat (I mean like RFK Jr).

I’ve always liked Seinfeld’s comedy, but he is all over-the-map schizo about leftist culture. One day he’s complaining about wokeness. The next day he’s saying that wokeness isn’t a real problem. The day after that he’s defending Israel and knocking colleges for coddling anti-Semitic demonstrators. The next day he’s saying that college campuses are fine.

To some extent, he’s kind of a nicer, milder version of Bill Maher. He’s a man of the left, but occasionally he gets so disgusted with the left’s antics that he blurts out the truth.

Woke companies are...interesting...for sure. The lengths that they are willing to strain in order to accommodate the lowest common (mental health) denominator is fascinating to me. One major aerospace company I know well recently had their annual Family Day event that only lasted for 5 hours. There was a special “Sensory Hour” reserved before the event for people who suffer from family-related anxiety. Fine. I suppose if I was a Mental Health specialist instead of an Engineer I’d expect that sort of thing...but I was caught totally off guard when told about it as were all of my family group. Was a great time tho. And my Mom is a psychotherapist. She was blown away by it. If we ever go to war...I hope that these woke...people...can be trained to kill.

The Ethical Culture Fieldston School, which positions itself as a bastion of cultural diversity, recently came under fire in the wake of Hamas’ sneak attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, with Jewish students and parents decrying it had devolved into a “hotbed of Jew-hate.”

I think we have now all learned that to take over a country, you must first control the educational system. If we ever get it back we need to fix that. I recommend putting it back in the hands of the community. It should never be federally controlled again.

Students will not be assigned homework on Election Day and there will be no assessments on Wednesday

I suspect that this is more about giving the school staff members time to regain their composure, so the students catch a break. The snowflakes aren't only in the students' desks these days.

The school is named: Ethical Culture Fieldston School
Why would he, oh... I bet it was his wife that choose the school.

” leafy and affluent Bronx suburb of Riverdale.”

Pathetic sludge from the Post. I guess newspapers don’t have editors anymore. Why are suburbs always “leafy”? Riverdale is not a “suburb” of the Bronx, and the Bronx sure isn’t a suburb. It is a tiny, ritzy enclave in the Bronx, walled off y the Henry Hudson, the Hudson, and the Spuyten Duyvil.

I voted for Reagan in a cardboard box voting booth in the hall of our elementary school.
My vote didn’t count but it showed me how a citizen behaved on election day.
This is sad.
