Schools Plan On Closing For #DayWithoutAWoman, Domino Effect Begins [VIDEO] |
2017-03-07 |
Some schools are actually going to be closed on Wednesday for the "Day Without A Woman" strike. Why? Well, because teachers are primarily women, and there are some schools out there who are now expecting to be shorthanded. Nope, this is not a joke. "Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools will be closed to students on March 8 ‐ proclaimed as "A Day Without A Woman" ‐ because the school system expects to be shorthanded. Durham Public Schools also is discussing closing schools on March 8 but no decision had been made. Superintendent Bert L’Homme said he’ll talk about the possibility with staff and make an announcement on Friday. Chapel Hill-Carrboro Superintendent Jim Causby made the call, changing next Wednesday to a teacher workday. Students won’t be expected to make up the day because the school system is on schedule to meet the required number of instructional hours anyway. Causby made the decision because principals and other supervisors in the school system reported that they expected a high number of staff members to be absent on March 8." - Continues So, no sammiches in N.C. on Weds? |

#7 Irony is that kids staying home because school is closed, puts an extra burden on the primary caregiver, Mom, especially on low income families that have difficulty affording day care...or you have a bunch of latch key kids roaming the streets in the middle of the day for an entire day... Nothing like continuing to fuck with the nuclear family |

#3 ...because teachers are primarily women Not even a flinch of irony that those who decry 'sexism' acknowledge the self evident truth of their institutionalized social discrimination against males in their own profession. |
