Ivanka Trump visits school, prompting some complaints

First daughter and presidential adviser Ivanka Trump made a surprise visit to a Connecticut high school — prompting some parents who oppose President Donald Trump’s agenda to yank their kids from classes Monday.

Trump appeared at the Norwalk Early College Academy to talk to its students about the importance of career education.

Parents say didn’t know that Trump was scheduled to speak to their children — information they suspect was withheld due to security concerns.

“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.” she added.

Not all parents were opposed to the visit.

Parent Angela Yaneth Guzman replied to a photo from Trump’s visit on Facebook, and thanked her for speaking to her son.
