Candidato disfrazado de lápiz impulsa la reforma educativa en Oregón

Un disfraz de lápiz de casi dos metros de altura recorre Portland para destacar el último lugar que ocupa Oregón en las puntuaciones de lectura de cuarto grado. J. Schuberth, la persona que viste el traje, se postula como candidato escrito para gobernador con el fin de llamar la atención sobre las dificultades de las escuelas del estado.

Schuberth, exprofesor universitario y defensor de la alfabetización, comenzó su campaña a principios de este año tras confeccionar el disfraz de lápiz. El 23 de abril, el candidato saludó a los votantes en un mercado agrícola del centro de Portland, repartiendo folletos que decían: "El sistema educativo de Oregón está fallando a nuestros niños, ¡pero juntos podemos REPARARLO!". Schuberth señaló que el esfuerzo tiene como objetivo enviar un mensaje a los líderes sobre la necesidad de un cambio.
