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.

Report them to the state and find another day care.

I had to go to the office and deal with the techno-incompetent, frustrating printers, and some laptops for the aforementioned.

What else is a tax slave good for?

If you’re married to a woman dependent on child care, then aren’t you dependent on daycare too?

Married? Here in Texas they say they are but oh no. getting married gets rid of gov benefits. Contrary to the upper class day care but I’ve seen as a grandfather the pop up day care centers trying to grab free gov money from single moms dropping their kids off for a low page job to qualify for earned income credit and child tax credits. The refunds are in the 1000s

It isn’t just illegal aliens. I’ve read and heard of legal immigrants and ignorant liberals joining in the walk outs.

In some areas, you must have two incomes to afford to live there.

If you have ever been married to a woman dependent on daycare you would know:

You were you married to that woman? And you felt that she was responsible for the children - and you weren't?

If fewer women....?

Last I checked it took a woman AND a man to make a baby.

Actually, yes it would.

I didn’t bust my ass in school to be Susie Homemaker.

My children attended a very good day care. They are not criminals.

The oldest is a priest and the younger a Cop.

Families should do what works for them and their particular circumstances.

Why is a woman you are married to dependent on day care? Are these YOUR children?

No, the woman I was married to was incisive and mean, always spoiling for a fight over silly sh!t.

Can you relate to that?

No. Can’t relate to that at all. I’m sorry it happened. It’s good you don’t have to deal with that.

BTW I went to dinner tonight to a restaurant. The food took a long time and the waitperson explained it was because the kitchen staff were all boycotting today.

That’s good to know. Won’t go back there.

Laws? California has NO laws regarding illegals. Dams? we don’t need no stinking dams when we have to support illegals.
