The nurse-in at Burlington International Airport went off without a hitch yesterday. The Burlington Free Press reports today that 30 mothers and fathers and dozens of their children congregated in front of the Delta check-in counter to protest the incident in which a mother was kicked off a plane for breastfeeding without covering up. Participants expressed their shock and horror that the mother was humiliated that way. They praised Burlington International Airport after the nurse-in for allowing and accommodating the peaceful demonstration.

As I write this, women are gathering at Burlington International Airport by Delta’s check-in counter for a nurse-in at 10 a.m. EST, according to a follow-up article in today’s Burlington Free Press. Organizer Sharon Panitch wanted to stage this peaceful demonstration in response to the incident I mentioned earlier in which a mother was kicked off a plane for nursing her toddler and refusing to cover up.
