It’s being billed as “A Day Without a Woman,” but apparently only pro-union, pro-choice, anti-Israel women who can afford to skip work need apply.
The one-day “general strike” is coming under fire from the right and the left for its mixed political messages, as well as the havoc caused by the closure of some schools Wednesday driven by anticipated staff absences.
At least two large school districts — Alexandria City Public Schools in Virginia and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools in North Carolina — have announced that they will close in anticipation of hundreds of staff absences, igniting a backlash from parents.
A possible reason for the absences? The U.S. protest is being led by the Women’s March on Washington, whose partners include the nation’s two largest teachers’ unions — the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, an arm of the AFL-CIO.
Conservative pundit Mollie Hemingway, who lives in Alexandria, posted phone numbers Monday for the school district along with the message, “Local gov’t schools are shuttering for leftist propaganda day. So thankful my daughters have better role models at their Lutheran school!”

DeleteIt's just another BS plot to divide Americans...Nikita Khrushchev started all of these counter groups in the 60's trying to disrupt American Society and he was wildly successful. In his memoirs he says the counter culture movement black power and feminists were Soviet concoctions but never dreamed Americans would have fallen so hard for the ploy.
ReplyDeleteWe should have a day without blue collar working men. The nation would come to a screeching stop. Not that the blind would see it
ReplyDeleteNo show, no pay.
ReplyDeleteHow about a day without tax payers.Welfare.
ReplyDeleteThe men teachers should all take tomorrow off in a show of solidarity for "EQUALITY" (paid day off just because of their gender). The special interest groups have lost their collective minds. "What do they want? Anarchy! When do they want it? Now!"
ReplyDeleteI am a working woman and am @ work today because if I wasn't at work. I wouldn't get paid. From the large number of women who work in the area around me, all at work today, the end VB protest is a bust.
