Jerry Seinfeld deserves a round of applause for his disgust with a New York private school offering students a day off on account of the election results ... that's our TMZ Hot Take from this crazy story.

Check out the clip from "TMZ Live" ... Harvey and Charles totally agree with Jerry that it's ridiculous for a school to coddle students by allowing them to stay home if they're down in the dumps over who won an election they are too young to vote in.

What's more, we even make the case that this is the school projecting unwarranted fears onto the kids ... who really only care about getting the day off, and not the actual election results.

Justine Knight, executive director at Triangle Aphasia Project tells TMZ … aphasia doesn't affect a person's intelligence -- but, it can affect their ability to read, write or speak. So her org. makes sure people undestand their rights to accomodation.

In the fake release, Trump was quoted as saying in part … “If Peanut could have told them he was from Mexico, they would have sent him on his way and given him a hotel room and a $500 gift card to Buddy Squirrel. Instead, he was taken from his family. Very sad, and a complete waste of resources!”
