That seems to be on the edge of some kind of Illegality. I agree it good to encourage Students to get involved but not for a candidate they choose.

That seems 100% improper and very unethical and that reach for support and reward for actual political candidates doesn't belong in any public school ever ! An education in how the system works for elections is fine but candidates having that impact and buying grades within a school is so wrong.
