Uma fantasia de lápis de um metro e oitenta está circulando por Portland para destacar a última posição do Oregon nas pontuações de leitura da quarta série. J. Schuberth, a pessoa por trás da fantasia, está concorrendo como candidato independente (write-in) ao governo para chamar a atenção para as dificuldades das escolas do estado.

Schuberth, ex-professor universitário e defensor da alfabetização, começou a fazer campanha no início deste ano após construir a fantasia de lápis. No dia 23 de abril, o candidato cumprimentou eleitores em um mercado de produtores no centro de Portland, distribuindo panfletos que diziam: O sistema educacional do Oregon está falhando com nossas crianças, mas juntos podemos consertá-lo! Schuberth afirmou que o esforço visa enviar uma mensagem aos líderes sobre a necessidade de mudança.
