‘A Day Without a Woman’ ignites backlash over left-wing agenda, school closures

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.

If they're protesting then it's not hardly a day without women.

The left are showing their true hypocritical colors! Only other liberals allowed to participate in their marches/protests.

I don't believe not showing up for the job is a good message on any level.

It's called a strike.

If my business was directly affected I think I would have to show those who did not show, a business without women who don't want to work but protest instead looks like!
