Over 20 Tucson Unified School District schools are canceling classes on Friday because teachers called out to participate in nationwide protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement policies.
Jennifer Daelyn, who has a child at a TUSD preschool, supported the teachers' actions as a necessary form of civil disobedience.
"It is important to stand up, to disrupt the status quo sometimes, and that might mean walking out of school," Daelyn said.
"Why punish our younger kids for a day off of school when they don't realize why they're not going to school?” Anderson questioned.
Teachers and other school personnel should not be a part of a protest during class time," Horne said.
