WASHINGTON — Alexandria City Public Schools will be closed Wednesday after more than 300 staff members requested the day off.

The “unusually high number” of call-outs may be connected with the “Day Without a Woman” nationwide protest and social media campaign, school superintendent Alvin Crawley said in a statement.

Poor broads, if Hittlery was in, women could be working outside the house, voting in elections and driving cars by now.

Maybe some day....

So basically you’re denying the children you teach a day of education so you can grandstand, bitch, and moan and dust off your vagina costumes from a month ago.

Good. They’ll be home to cook, clean and watch the kids.

That will be popular with all the poorer, single moms who now have to take a day off from work to stay home and take care of the kids.

The left keeps giving me reasons to laugh.

All glory for the Communist Party. It’s a Red holiday.

And HP is celebrating it as International Women’s WEEK.

It’ll cost them a million in state funding unless they make up the day.

If they’re not taking a prearranged vacation day, fire them.

That’ll teach the kids a lesson about the real world.

Yeah, how nice for the families (esp. w/ single parents) who now have to miss a day’s wages because of this idiocy.
