Wisconsin mom says kids used as 'political pawns' as Madison schools shuts down for May Day protests
The Madison Metropolitan School District is closed on Friday as left-wing activists mobilize for May Day.
“Our Madison Teachers Inc. (MTI) partners recently shared that they received 70% of staff signatures supporting participation in 'A Day without Immigrants' as part of the May Day Strong national day of action,” the district noted in a message on its website about the school cancellation.
MTI is a teachers' union.
"I'm in shock," Wisconsin Moms for Liberty activist Scarlett Johnson said during a Friday morning appearance on the Fox & Friends. "Although maybe I shouldn't be considering the history of the Madison Metropolitan School District."
"They are not just indoctrinating the kids in the classroom. They are encouraging actively for students to leave the classroom and go march in the streets with teachers, with administrators," she claimed.
"And make no mistake about it: This entire rally, this May Day, Friday May 1st ... this is an anti-capitalist, anti-Trump movement, and they're using our kids as political pawns," she said.
DAVID MARCUS: Leave May Day to America's haters. Labor Day is for the proud workers who built our co
Here in the good old United States of America, we have a lovely holiday each September called Labor Day, on which we celebrate the contributions of the nation’s workers. We do not celebrate the communist holiday of May Day, as most of the globe does, at least not until recently.
Today, hundreds of leftist organizations and Damoractic Party adjuncts around the nation will rally, protest and cheer on May Day in an act of radical Marxist globalization. It should make Americans who are not fans of Mao’s little red book very nervous.
As usual, progressives want to destroy the wholesome homegrown aspects of our culture and replace them with cold, ugly, almost Soviet-style international slop, even though our American ancestors firmly rejected it.

600 groups with $2B in revenue mobilize 3,000 May Day protests in a 'red-blue' alliance, probe finds
FIRST AT FOX: Some 600 groups, including hard-line communists and groups affiliated with the Democratic Party, are mobilizing all over the country today to demonstrate for May Day, socialism's high holy day.
A Fox News Digital investigation has identified a sprawling "red-blue" network with combined annual revenue of about $2 billion organizing some 3,000 protests and events and advancing what critics describe as an anti-American agenda. They have called for Americans to skip work, school and shopping.
At the center of the May Day mobilization, which has expanded from earlier indications, is a network of communist, socialist, Marxist and other far-left organizations, led by chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America and a network of groups – including the People’s Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER Coalition and Code Pink – funded by an American-born tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, based in Shanghai, promoting the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party.
