Skriv-in-kandidat utklädd till penna driver på för skolreform i Oregon

En två meter lång pennkostym syns till runt om i Portland för att belysa Oregons jumboplats när det gäller läsförmåga i fjärde klass. J. Schuberth, personen inuti dräkten, ställer upp som skriv-in-kandidat i guvernörsvalet för att rikta uppmärksamhet mot delstatens kämpande skolor.

Schuberth, en före detta universitetslektor och förespråkare för läskunnighet, inledde sin kampanj tidigare i år efter att ha byggt pennkostymen. Den 23 april hälsade kandidaten väljare på en bondemarknad i centrala Portland och delade ut flygblad med budskapet: Oregons utbildningssystem sviker våra barn, men tillsammans kan vi fixa det! Schuberth menade att insatsen syftar till att skicka en signal till makthavarna om behovet av förändring.
