When the morning bell rings tomorrow, the desks at several Michigan schools will be empty. Schools are closing in anticipation of teachers calling in sick in order to protest the state legislature’s recent votes on right-to-work legislation:

Warren Con & Taylor schools closed tomorrow. Look out, Lansing!

— Cara Hice Lougheed (@WonderTeach) December 10, 2012

Schools in Taylor and Warren face inadequate staffing and a short supply of substitute teachers and therefore will be unable to operate.

I guess a lot of teachers are going to Lansing tomorrow so there won’t be enough teachers at school. So thy might just call school off.😁

No school because of support of the union vote in lansing tomorrow. Most likely a lack of staff tomorrow. To everyone that is curious.

For students, the strike means a day off from school, and they couldn’t be happier:

Others not “fortunate” enough to live in Taylor or Warren are hoping that their schools follow suit:

— Page DuBois (@pageduboiss) December 10, 2012

Yo our teachers need to get their asses to Lansing!!

— Garrett(@5_Garrett) December 10, 2012

Lovely. Essentially, striking teachers — adults — are throwing a colossal temper tantrum and teaching children that that sort of behavior is not only acceptable, but productive and desirable. Shameful. In aligning with union thugs and buying into Leftist lies about the right to work, these teachers are willfully hurting the students that they should be protecting.

Always putting kids first. NOT! Warren Con Schools will be closed Tuesday because many staff members going to Lansing for #RTW @micapcon

— Nick Hawatmeh (@NicolaHawatmeh) December 10, 2012

URGENT: Warren, #MI schools closing tomorrow because teachers are going to protest #rtw in Lansing. Children held hostage!

— Shelley M G (@ShelleyMGO) December 10, 2012

Mad, so screw the kids eh? MT @wxyzdetroit: Warren Con. Schools cancel classes as many teachers head to Lansing in protest of Right to Work.

— Patrick (@GunOfBavaria) December 10, 2012

All about the kids? RT @mlive_detroit: Taylor schools cancel school Tuesday b/c teachers protesting #rtw in Lansing. ow.ly/fYYKr

— Eric J Guerin (@EricJGuerin) December 10, 2012

If you call in sick and show up in Lansing Tuesday, are we too believe it’s about the kids?

— Scott Young (@redreddog) December 10, 2012

If you are a teacher you aren’t gaining any support from me by canceling school tomorrow so you can march on Lansing. #stupid

— My Son’s Biggest Fan (@mrssmartypantz) December 10, 2012

Lansing protestors are to be pitied and prayed for. Their universal motto- Students Last! #backchannel #EarlyRisers #tcot

— Bruce Davidson (@defeat_the_left) December 10, 2012

Indeed. If this is the kind of education these teachers have to offer our students, we’re in big trouble.
