Parents lash out as daycare closes in support of immigration strike
The Sacramento Bee ^ | February 16th, 2017 | By Liz Farrell, Mandy Matney

BLUFFTON, S.C.- Lauren Malphrus pulled up to the Little Steps Daycare and Preschool in Bluffton around 7:30 a.m. Thursday with her 3-year-old son, Asa, and saw that the windows were darkened.

Confused, she turned back to her car, and soon found that the daycare had closed for the day in support of “A Day Without Immigrants,” a national strike in which immigrants are boycotting work, school and businesses in response to President Donald Trump’s immigration stance and in an effort to show their economic influence in the community.

“Why didn’t they tell me?” she asked loudly. “Why didn’t they call the parents? I’ve got to go to work!”

Malphrus, who was visibly upset, instructed Asa to get in the car and called Asa’s father, hoping he could take their son so she could go to work at J&R Ice Cream Co.

“So it’s closed,” she told him. “And I had no clue until I got here this morning. ... This is so ridiculous. So ridiculous.”

Little Steps, a bilingual daycare, made the closing announcement on its Facebook page Wednesday night as a part of “A Day Without Immigrants” campaign.

Okay, this is CA. In most states workers in daycare have to pass a background check. I’m betting CA doesn’t have such rules.

A man who is fully supporting his wife and kids staying at home, is also supporting at least one other family he has never met and would not like.

How many men can afford that?

That’s the price we pay for not shaming the sluts who have kids but have never been married. And for not letting them fend for themselves.

And no, I don’t care if I’m talking about your daughter...

Yep, and it would be just so boring to stay home and take care of their precious children themselves.

Economics, many women do not have the choice to stay home.

Why, when the average worker is about 10 times more productive than in 1955, is it now impossible for the average man to support a stay-at-home wife, in a house with a yard, etc.

Easy: government regulations that cost the average worker $30,000/year, exorbitant taxes, etc.

All of it designed to destroy the family.

This mother — and now grandmother — agrees with you. It all started going down hill when women started buying into the belief by many men that staying home to raise one’s own children was not real work.

I did read the article but I read “Sacramento Bee” and thought CA.

Day Without an Immigrant.

I celebrated. Stayed home today and watched Braveheart while wearing my kilt and knocking back Scotch.

It was glorious!

:)

Hopefully these parents will find a new daycare that doesn’t celebrate illegal immigration.

It appears that the legal “immigrants” are a little pissed of at the illegal “immigrants”. LOL.

If fewer women dumped their small children in daycare, we'd have much less crime, drug-addiction, and suicide.

Daycare is terrible for children. It disrupts the bond between child and parents. With the most vulnerable children, this can cause irreparable damage.

To be well brought up, healthy, and secure enough to grow up to be independent adults, children need to be in their own homes with a loving mother, at least until age 5.

When your child day-care center begins political activism, it’s time to go somewhere else.

I was blessed not to HAVE to work; but I simply did
without all the fancy clothes, cars & other stuff. Then,
Fang went to work for himself doing field work (financial
investigations) for the court. I did his secretarial work
in that for about 30 years. Didn’t get rich; but ate
regularly & had enough to get by. Anybody who works for
the legal system and gets rich would be suspect, and
rightly so. - He was in danger at times.
