Teachers’ unions forced school closures in U.S. cities Friday as part of the national “May Day Strong” protest, leaving families scrambling for childcare while students lost instructional time.
The protests complement staged events of roughly 600 groups representing billions of dollars organizing some 3,000 protests nationwide for the communist labor holiday, according to Fox News.
The protesters include hardline communist organizations and groups affiliated with Democrats, such as Indivisible, MoveOn.org, the American Federation of Teachers and at least 13 state and local chapters of the Democrat National Committee, noted Fox.
Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) canceled all classes after Madison Teachers Inc. collected signatures from 70% of staff pledging to participate in pro-illegal immigration protests tied to the broader May Day organizing push, reported Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR).
