Fact- checking to extremes

- George Pfeifer, Evanston

So, in other words, if I had a job for one or two years while still in school pursuing an advanced degree, that one or two years cannot go on my resume [“Fact- check: Chicago’s potty- mouthed mayor was once a preschool teacher,” June 11]?

Is that what the BGA is saying in an article criticizin­g Mayor Rahm Emanuel?

According to the BGA, the mayor is improperly enhancing his resume by taking credit for serving as a teaching assistant while in college. I have no dispute or problem with politician­s and political candidates being scrutinize­d for what they have said, written and accomplish­ed or failed to accomplish. But this article is really stretching it.
