As Lightfoot begins her re-election bid, her current stint on the hot seat is due to an email she sent to Chicago Public Schools teachers. According to NBC 5 News in Chicago, Lightfoot encouraged teachers to have their students volunteer as externs on
her campaign for course credit. The email read in part:
As the race heats up, we’re looking to enrich our office through what we call our externship program. Lightfoot for Chicago is seeking resumes from any volunteer interested in campaign politics and eager to gain experience in the field.
In exchange for 12 hours of work each week, students would be eligible for academic credit. Lightfoot’s campaign maintains that it did nothing wrong but has rescinded the offer in the wake of criticism from some unlikely places. And not just her
opponents. Stacy Davis Gates, who is the president of the Chicago Teachers Union, called the move unethical and feared that the teachers who refused the offer could face retaliation.
I'm going to run for office and I need some externs. Go door to door and extort donations, sell some smack....in exchange for course credit.
You got a problem with that?
