During a May Day rally in Chicago, several demonstrators — including students participating in a walkout encouraged by teachers — struggled to explain the core ideologies they were championing, according to on-the-ground reporting by Fox News senior correspondent Mike Tobin.
Tobin spoke with a Chicago Public Schools student, Cody West, who was carrying a "Party for socialism" sign.
When Tobin asked the student if he believed in or knew what socialism was, West admitted, "not really, not too much."
West mentioned that some teachers told students "it's a walkout, you guys can just go, go protest."
A Chicago Teachers Union organizer confirmed they had been putting the event together for weeks.
When pressed on the fact that students were supposed to be in class, the organizer defended the walkout as a way to "develop their civics" and show them "what it's like to be humane."
One protester, holding a "Cleanup Aisle 47" sign, claimed President Donald Trump is "giving money to billionaires" and has "taken billions from the U.S. government."
When she was asked to name the billionaires or provide proof that he had taken billions, she deflected, saying, "If I could pull up the stats right now, I would."
Tobin interviewed another protester who claimed the recent assassination attempt on the president at the White House Correspondents' dinner was "staged."
When asked why they believed it was staged, the protester could not provide evidence, saying, "I don't know, it all just seems too suspect to me," before refusing to answer further questions.

Lenin would be proud of all of the Useful Idiots....
They sound like a group of future productive members of society. Real go-getters.
Not.
If you love your kids, keep them out of public schools.
Buy two.
Starbucks CEO roasted as ‘out of touch’ over defense of $9 coffee: ‘Affordable premium experience’
Yeah, because whenever I need evidence of humans treating other humans humanely, I look to Chicago.
Students in Chicago feature 1 in 4 who can comprehend subjects and read at grade level.
Insurance kid’s mother: “At least he spelled insurance correctly.”
Teacher: “No. He did not.”
I would not necessarily blame the CEO, just the idiots who buy the $9 coffee.
Teachers have failed these kids - less than a third of the 'students' are functioning at grade level... What a bunch of losers.
Given the dismal performance of most CPS students, I would have to guess that the teachers’ lack of knowledge about socialism and May Day mirrors their lack of knowledge about the subjects they teach and how to teach them. Don’t know much about history, don’t know much biology, don’t know much about science books, don’t know much about the French they took. Sure, the students and their families bear some responsibility for their academic failure, but the teachers so arrogantly claim they are doing such an outstanding job and that they care more about the students than the students’ families do that I don’t mind laying most of the blame on them.
Exactly.
My thoughts exactly.
Jokes on them, those who don’t work in a Communist State are shot.
Well, maybe not shot, but they could be arrested.
Social parasitism was considered a political crime in the Soviet Union, where individuals accused of living off the efforts of others or society were prosecuted. The Soviet Union, proclaiming itself a workers’ state, mandated that every capable adult engage in work until retirement, theoretically eliminating unemployment.

Or sent to a gulag where you work or don’t get any food.
They got busted manufacturing racism and this communist sympathy smacks of the same mechanism.
Maybe weak minded leftists wouldn’t support these prevarications if they found out it’s just some rich assholes leading them astray
And hope they can hook up with another loser who’s a socialist slacker.
