Ron Paul omitted from mock election in local High School

If this was my kids school I would be ALL over this teacher. This makes me sick to my stomach.

I think the best way to handle this is to contact the local Meetup group and do sign waving across the street for an entire week in the afternoon.

Perhaps have a sign in there "Your school administration censored your vote. You deserve a choice!"

That will get all the kids researching Ron Paul and educating their parents. Squawk loud and get the press to cover your sign waving if you can. I am sure the local press would love to know about the school administration censoring the vote.

I will consider this. Things that will go into the decision making process are the fact that a police station is 0.1 miles (literally) from the school, and the fact that my brother is already embarrassed about me sending a letter to the school. I suppose those shouldn't be considered overwhelming obstacles.

I'm glad. My parents on the other hand aren't motivated to take any action on this, so I am dealing with it.

He earned his pilot license while in the Air Force. I suppose what I said was misleading, though, so I will alter it.
 
I don't know how old you are, but if you can get your parents to help I'd schedule a conference with the teachersi nvolved as well as the principal of the high school. Don't advocate Ron Paul. You're not winning votes here, you're educating some educators. Emphasis the importance of voting and the primary process and how the situation is unacceptable. See what they say they will do to rectify the situation. If they seem open but unsure, suggest that the class have a research day on the "Second-tier candidates" If they are wholly uncooperative advise them that this is a deep concern and that your only recourse will be to take it to the school board and the district adminstration as well as any news media.

Since you are not the student's guardian this would only really have an effect if you get your parents involved.

Do not release the schools info on these boards. The last thing we need is a few of the idiots on here getting "Paul's supports send threatening emails to schools' in the news.
 
...

Look, I'm a teacher in a public school, and if this happened in my school system, I would personally raise hell; as I have numerous times, especially to keep religious agendas and obsessive/destructive assessment out of our schools..

THE FACT IS: If Ron Paul is on the ballot in your state, you have the right to skip over the teacher, the principal, the entire school, and go STRAIGHT TO THE SCHOOL BOARD with this!!

At the rate this country is being sold, it's beginning to look a lot like Iraqi elections under Saddam around here...hrumf!
 
Do post the name of the school. The principal. The phone #. I pay taxes for that school. I have a right to know how my taxes are being wrongly spent to educate children in such an un-American way.

We all have an obligation to make sure this is a huge news story. Honestly, whatever person made that policy should be fired immediately. This "educator" is teaching our children that fascism in America, vote rigging, and authoritarianism is acceptable.

He should be fired.

I may have gotten the Newsweek information wrong, but that's not the right school.

I suppose the cat is out of the bag and I don't want people speculating and contacting the wrong school because that would be a travesty, so here it is:

Andover High School in Bloomfield Hills, MI.

I wash my hands of responsibility of any potential harm that comes out of this.

Please be kind.

I also emphasize the fact I cannot provide any tangible proof of this, as I do not have a copy of the ballot. I do promise however that the story is true, and if you need more details I will share them.

If a moderator or anyone else thinks I made the wrong decision, feel free to modify the post.

This school deserves to be made an example out of. The school should allow every candidate an opportunity to be represented or the government should cut funding to the school.

Use this as an learning opportunity to explain the illuminati, the new world order, CFR, the trilateral comission, etc...

That's who removed Ron Paul from the ballot at school...

laugh it off and come out on top.

I understand your warning, and maybe you're right. I am 23, I don't live with my parents but my brother told me the story, and I am a former student of the school.

I have discussed it with my parents. I have convinced one of them to vote for Ron Paul, the other is still on the fence, but they both said they do not intend to do anything about it because it's not a big enough deal, which is why I came to you guys. I didn't know what to do, I just knew something had to be done.

Seriously, if you guys want to get even or whatever, wouldn't it be best to negotiate a win win deal? You kinda got em by the balls. You can resort to threats of local media stories. etc...

Try to convince the school officials that all you want in exchange for their transgression is an official Ron Paul day at school. Some speakers can go in and tell the students about Ron Paul's positions and they get nice literature and a bumper sticker to take home to their parents.....

Positive thinking people.

Awesome, I'm 23 and did the teacher thing.

Going over the teachers head will simply get malice directed at your brother. It's undeserved and would probably not even be intentional, but you really dont want an adversarial situation between teacher and student. Ask a mod to delete and remove this thread. Nothing good will come of fools on these boards "going to bat" at this school. If a student has a problem it needs to be addressed by that student and his parents. Not a bunch of knuckleheads with itchy phone dialing fingers as are seen on this board.
