Jared and Ivanka were apparently asked to withdraw their kids from the Jewish day school they attend in DC because parents at the school were concerned the couple were flouting COVID safety guidelines the school requires of parents.

The couples children had attended the Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School of the Nations Capital since moving to Washington in 2017 after Donald Trump, Ivankas father, became president. Their three kids started a different school, the Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy in suburban Maryland, on Oct. 19.
They withdrew from the school, a spokesperson for Milton, as the school calls itself, said Wednesday in a statement.
A source close to the family said they withdrew because Berman offered more in-person classes during the pandemic. Jared Kushner said in August, amid national debate about whether schools should reopen, that he would send his children to school in person if he could. Berman switched to mostly in-person during September and October after opening virtually, according to its website.
But three parents of children attending Milton, which is switching to fully indoor, in-person classes next week, said the withdrawal came after parents raised concerns that Kushner, President Trumps son-in-law and top aide, and Ivanka Trump, his daughter and also a top aide, were seen at events not complying with the coronavirus protocols that Milton demanded of its parents.

Abiding by the same rules and regulations as the rest of us must really suck.

I can't feel too sorry for them because they have the money to find a school that aligns with their belief that that Covid is a hoax. Might take a while, but they can lower their standards..

(10,073 posts)kids can be a vector for Covid-19 transition. Jared and Ivanka associate with people known to have the disease. Therefore removing their kids so they don't share it with their schoolmates makes sense.

(101,730 posts)Really? You don't get that? Yes, these kids are a special transmission risk to the entire school BECAUSE their parents do not follow the agreed-upon protective behaviors for the school
JohnnyRingo
(18,581 posts)Literally. And that, to any school child, is indeed punishing.
That's why I said that Ivanka can shop for a school that aligns with their beliefs, even if they have to lower their standards. There's always the public school system.

Other parents care more about their kids and the staff than making a political statement, imagine that!

I just hope they take rebuke the way her father would and does.
