A surprise school visit by Ivanka Trump drew ire from some parents of a Connecticut academy, with one who yanked their child from class to protest the first daughter and White House adviser’s father, President Trump.

"This should have been brought to our attention, although I do understand security reasons. I think we should have had the choice to send our child to school or keep them home,” Karey Fitzgerald, a Norwalk Early College Academy parent, told News 12 Connecticut Monday following Ivanka Trump's appearance.

“Only one parent withdrew their student for the school day Monday after hearing of the visit,” Brenda Williams, Norwalk Public Schools Chief Communications Officer told Fox News on Wednesday. “With the exception of those who were directly participating, the visit was kept confidential for security reasons, and parents understood that.”

Trump, however, seemed unaware or impervious to the complaints.

“It was an honor to meet so many bright and talented students!” the first daughter wrote on social media following the visit with students and faculty at Norwalk Early College Academy, as she continues her tour promoting STEM and computer science education in schools across the nation.

“Ms. Trump was the guest of IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, who was at the school to talk with students at Norwalk Early College Academy,” Williams said. “Students discussed their experiences in taking college classes while in high school, the benefits of their IBM internships and workplace experiences, and their plans for the future.”


Williams added that this was an opportunity for the school to showcase their “innovative educational program.”

IBM developed the academic model used in the NECA program, which allows students to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and associate degree in either software engineering or mobile programming, while developing technical skills.

“PTECH schools equip high school students with skills training in #STEM and Computer Science, enabling them to thrive in our modern economy,” Trump wrote.

Prior to the visit, Trump appeared on “Fox & Friends” touting the “historic” tax reform the White House hopes to sign before Christmas.

Tough shit. Sounds like the parents are the true children.

How exactly do these people exist day to day? You can't take it that a Trump visited your school? That upsets you so that you'd keep your child home from school? I hope your mental illness isn't genetic.....

Heaven forbid your kid should be exposed to something other than the standard liberal indoctrination. I can see that parent in 20 years, confessing in tears to her shrink: "My little Debbie just registered as a REPUBLICAN! And I blame it all on THAT TRUMP WOMAN!"

Its an honor and a privilege. No sense of respect, or one shred of intelligence.

Some of thse kids would have gotten a real kick out of the visit. Selfish, stupid leftsists never grow up.

Ha ha! Snowflakes melting. How sad.

Wouldn’t that twist it?

“Mom, we had a visit today from Ivanka Trump. She was so pretty, so stylish, so friendly, so smart.... Mom, when I grow up, I want to be just like her!”

Aaaaiiieeeee!

Complaint(s) plural? Only one silly bint took her kid out. That sentence makes it sound like it was an antifa rally.

That's just dang sad. Some people can't help themselves but to project ugliness onto this world in any situation. Disgusting people with disgusting attitudes.

If it was the Obamas, everyone would be shrieking in delight. Even one of the Obamas daughters would have got the same response.
It's a Trump, they're evil. Blah, blah, blah.
People are retarded.

Say "Thank You", commies, for the money that President Trump is going to save you with his Tax bill.

Ungrateful, blind children

Can you imagine the media outrage had some parent pulled their kid out of school because of an Obama visit?

As much as I disapprove of King Stampy Feet, I wouldn't have had my kids stay home if his spawn had visited their school. I may have alerted my son to be on alert when she flashes her boop de doops, and don't hold out your hand if she passes out doobies.

One little aspect of these kind of incidences that seems to never be brought up is how classy the Trump women have been, at least to the best of my knowledge. They seem to be simply outstanding in this regard. I hesitate to say the obvious about wishing the president would demonstrate some similar restraint at times.

I have a different take. I am so proud of her. I am so glad for both of them.
We have had some great first lady's in my life time. I am thankful for each one of them. Sure there have been some not so great ones. But to be complete honest I don't remember them or spend any time trying to think of them.

I think it is great she went. Anything beyond that I could not care less. And that goes pretty much for anything any of these attention seeking people do. They are so irrelevant it is laughable.

Well, I sure ain't. Need I remind you about Miss "First time in my life I'm proud of America"? Michelle was an atrocious first lady. I despised that trash more than I did her husband.

And then there's Hillary.

I truly feel sorry for those children, being brought up in households like those
