Brickbat: A Valuable Lesson

The Chicago Board of Ethics, the city inspector general, and the Chicago Public Schools inspector general are investigating after Mayor Lori Lightfoot's re-election campaign sent an email to teachers asking them to get their students to volunteer for Lightfoot's campaign. The letter suggested teachers should offer students class credit to get them to volunteer. Chicago's mayor appoints the city's school superintendent, as well as members of the Board of Education. In a statement, the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois said that the campaign's letter could also violate federal law.

This is next level political public education capture.
Squirrel says that if no kids were jailed as a result of not participating, this is totes ok.
And nothing else happened. Intersectionality rule.

This statement, while absolutely true, is the real injustice of these situations. Democrats pull this shit and there no legal consequences. There's never media reporting.
Another example of election engineering and no one cares.
No doubt she will assert the newly established 'Santos Exception' - say and do anything to get elected is now cricket.
Liawatha Warren say "Ugh".
The Democrats do see the nation's children as a valuable resource.
You know who else saw the nation’s children as a valuable resource?
Jeffy?
I harken back to the halcyon days of school children being indoctrinated to chant in unison, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA MMM MMM MMMM
It should take years and millions of pesos to find out whether they sent an email. No questions until it is over -- cant compromise the integrity of the investigation.
So a Democratic official colludes with a public union to bribe citizens to support her election. This is news?
I am making $92 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $16,000 a month by working on a laptop, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website. http://Www.workstar24.com
It's just Tuesday in Chicago.
This is common practice. Just not with school kids. A lot of campaigns use college student volunteers to run booths and stuff. Which is weird because those who volunteer tend to be poly-sci majors needing the units and stuff. And they tend to be far left proggies. So when you see them manning Republican booths it's fucking weird. Are these candidates tone deaf? Thankfully it tends to be the richer candidates and bigger races with the financial backing who do this, the grassroots guys still go in for campaign volunteers not paid colleges students. I remember one year I was next to a booth for a governor candidate and the worker was telling everyone about how great socialism was. Literally. Candidate didn't give a shit, s/he only wanted warm bodies to pass out literature and cheer when s/he walked by.
God knows what the Democrats do.
But you can't use public schools and schoolkids for this. They are underage and the schools are government. It would be like the using the post office to deliver free campaign literature. Oh wait... we do that don't we?
Fuck politicians. Fuck them all.
Using student volunteers is common practice. Leaning on teachers to get students to "volunteer" is not.
I hope the kids were compensated using the prevailing minimum wage (plus fringe) for that area. And that no child labor laws were broken.
Mayor Akbar. it's a trap!
Every time there is a story about this steaming turd, I think about how I miss Mayor Daley. He was a pile of crap, but he was our pile of crap.
The Chicago Board of Ethics
Next you'll be telling us the easter bunny is real.
Now it becomes clearer why Democrats want full government control of the schools. Students must “volunteer” to campaign for Democrats, or they get a lower grade. And it gives them a feel of what it was like to be an enslaved person.
Lori Lightfoot: proof of alien/human hybridization.

Google pays an hourly wage of $100. My most recent online earnings for a 40-hour work week were $3500. According to my younger brother’s acquaintance, he works roughly 30 hours each vad02 week and earns an average of $12,265. I’m in awe of how simple things once were.
