NEW YORK – Parents at The Dalton School ruined a student ice skating party because it was to be held at a Trump-related venue: the Trump Wollman Rink in Central Park.

New York City officials struggled for more than a half decade to make the skating rink operational before Trump famously stepped in in 1986 to complete the renovations.

Students at the elite Upper East Side school were looking forward to the annual “Dalton on Ice” skating party, but enough liberal parents banded together to protest the event over their dislike for Trump that the Dalton Parents Association was forced to cancel the outing, Fox News reports.

The Upper East Side Patch reports:

The Dalton Parents Association sent a letter to school parents saying “it would not be financially prudent,” to hold the “Dalton on Ice” event this year due to an expected “significantly lower” attendance than in previous years. Yes, the presidency of Donald Trump has become so pervasive that it’s apparently affecting the inner-workings of Upper East Side private schools.

DPA president LaMae DeJongh refused to discuss the issue with the New York Post, but at least one parent was not impressed with the move.

“I think it is completely insane,” an unidentified parent told the news site. “Like him or not, it feels like a strange place for New Yorkers to protest. And sad that kids now have no skating party.”

Another source told the Post a clique of liberal moms were to blame for pressuring headmaster Ellen Stein to call off the event.

The DPA letter sent home to parents stated the school will look into finding a new venue for “Dalton on Ice” in the future.

“In past years, this gathering has been an evening which has been community building, safe and fun where all community members desiring to attend, can do so,” the letter read, according to the Patch.

The letter said the DPA plans to make it up to kids with a springtime event featuring “family programming and performances for our community.”

The Post’s Steve Cuozzo penned an editorial in January recounting how the Wollman Rink debacle “made Trump a hero” in the eyes of many New Yorkers.

Cuozzo wrote:

Enter Trump. The young Trump Tower developer was known more for self-promotion and for an ugly, name-calling feud with Koch over tax abatements and zoning rules.

In June 1986, Trump brashly offered to reopen the rink before Christmas. “If Koch doesn’t like this offer,” Trump said, “then let him have the same people who have built it for the last six years do it for the next six years.”

Koch agreed, and Trump opened the rink by Nov. 1, nearly two months ahead of schedule.

“It showed how private enterprise could handily whip government bureaucracy,” Cuozzo wrote. “Wollman was a tiny project. But, unlike disputes over taxes and zoning, it told a story everyone could understand. It made Trump a hero, at least for a time. And more than any of his skyscrapers, it lent him the “can-do” reputation that propelled him into the White House.”
