Today I walked into a classroom where I was substitute teaching.  It was a study hall class so the teacher who usually teaches in that classroom was at her desk.  I took off my coat, took attendance and the children studied.  I looked around and on a board across the room was a chart of the Presidential Candidates separated by party and attached to their picture was a sticky note with the number of delegates they had won. 
Ron Paul was not on the board.
I walked up to the teacher, this teacher of "History and Government", and I said "Excuse me, but there is a Presidential Candidate missing on the Republican side of your board." And she looked at me and said  "I have to teach reality to these kids and that's not reality".  She dismissed me with her eyes and I must have looked awfully funny at that moment because I'm sure all the blood in my body had risen to my face. I sat down.  I zipped my mouth out of respect for the classroom setting and the children in the classroom.  I zipped my mouth for the time being but I'm opening it now.
Reality?  Who is this woman to decide the REALITY being taught to our children?
Reality is that Ron Paul has 94,906 Meet-Up members running a grassroots campaign in 1,598 meet-ups in  1,185 Cities (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/). You go and tell those 94,906 people, Mrs. History Teacher, that they don't count!
Reality is that though Ron Paul came in last place in Florida yesterday, 60,000 people voted for him.  You go, Mrs. History Teacher and tell those 60,000 people that they are not important!
Reality is that Ron Paul came in 2nd place in Nevada. He came in 2nd place in Louisiana and has acquired 6 delegates, 5 more than Rudy who was ON YOUR BOARD!  You go tell all those people who voted for Ron Paul, Mrs. History Teacher, that they don't exist.
Reality is that there is voter fraud in this country and if you don't believe me then you go ahead and look at what Bev Harris has uncovered on her website http://www.blackboxvoting.org/.  Reality is a hard smack in the face that this is a reality and no one is really doing anything about it.  Maybe you can ignore that too Mrs. History Teacher.
Reality is that Ron Paul raised over $19 Million dollars in the 4th quarter of 2007 and that his 4th quarter donations came from 130,000 donors with 100,000 being NEW donors ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul_presidential_campaign,_2008)! American People donated this money!  Are you, Mrs. History Teacher going to tell those donors how UNREAL they are? How about the fact that Ron Paul is the number one candidate among military contributions?  Are those military personnel and soldiers unreal as well??(http://thespinfactor.com/thetruth/2007/07/17/ron-paul-leads-all-08-candidates-with-one-third-of-military-contributions-for-q2/)
So don't tell me, Mrs.History teacher about the reality you feel you must teach MY CHILD!   Reality is not what YOU DECIDE it should be! If you are going to teach MY CHILD in a public school where your salary is paid for by my tax dollars and who's doors open because of taxpayers who pay to keep the heat on and the electricity running.....Well I say that MY CHILD is going to know actual reality!  And until Ron Paul steps down he is STILL RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
How dare you Mrs. History Teacher.  But you are not alone.....How dare you New York Times. How dare you Newsday. How dare you Sean Hannity. How dare you Rush Limbaugh. How dare you Bill O'Reilly. How dare you MSNBC. How dare you Fox News. How dare you CNN. How dare you NBC, ABC, CBS....  How dare you American's who keep taking this and putting blinders on to what is happening!
And you wonder why a revolution is erupting in your backyards?
Here is a list of American Citizens who have publicly endorsed Ron Paul.  I'd like you to tell them that their endorsement doesn't matter and that their mind is not set in reality.  How do you think they'll like that Mrs. History Teacher?  Shall I let them know how little you think of them? (http://www.ronpaul2008.com/endorsements).  Hey Justin Raimondo author for Anti.war.com, you don't follow reality! Hey, John Derbyshire, author NRO; Hey Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr, president of Ludwig Von Mises Institute; Hey Barry Goldwater, Jr, Republican Congressman, California; Hey Peter Schiff president of Euro Pacific Capital Inc. Hey....http://www.ronpaul2008.com/endorsements....  Let it be known that Mrs. History Teacher says YOU DON'T MATTER!!!
Don't let this keep happening, parents, soldiers, mothers, fathers, American's.  Wake-up before your reality is no longer your own but what someone else tells you it is.

My passion comes from being a victim who has suffered the consequenses of others who have cut and run. It's taught me to learn about a bit of the law, and to stand up for my beliefs, and more than anything to believe that there is good out there, no matter how bad things truly are.

Huh

While  I understand your silence of the classroom setting, why do you not speak up. What you are witnessing is mind conditioning. It should not be about you it should be about the children, and who gave her the right to control there minds. She is teaching, exacty what you are fighting for. She is teaching arrogance, unfairness, to spread hatred, her personal beliefs do not belong in that classroom. You should not make this about Ron Paul, this is a equallity argument, a fairness, a constitution right to learn in a productive manner, not a robotic manner  .

 You are in a tough spot, all I can say, well i dont know what to say.  I would say do you best to show that if it wasnt for people like him, she would not have the opportunities she has, remind her if it not been for the revolutionary war she would not the ability to have the rights she does, use her class room knowledge or lack there of, to school her.. Use her own tools against her.

 hope that help you

Is Ron Paul Running For President?

I completely understand your frustation as well as your reason for not making a scene. It does seem like it's increasingly difficult to make your opinions known without causing trouble. I speak up about Ron Paul as often as possilbe. However, there are times when I have kept my mouth shut, knowing that I would do more harm than good. Some people are so brainwashed by the media that there is not much point in even trying. It has gotten easier and easier for me to spot the sheeple that I know I have no way of waking up. So I say pick your battles and in the end you will help win the war.

Taking the lead from our media

Great article. It is indeed frustrating to see the candidate that would be best for this country, Ron Paul, being totally ignored. They use the excuse "he can't win" but if they covered his message like they do the other wonks, then his numbers would rise. He could be viable candidate if given a chance.

Sadly, they just don't want someone who speaks on behalf of our Constitution to fire up the masses.

I think you should "out" the mind-control teacher and bring shame and disrespect upon her and those who hired her. "Out" her in the local newspaper in a letter to the editor. Picket outside the school after notifying the local news outlets. Act-out in a peaceful way.

May I help?

Now that you have written this excellent article, print out a copy and give it to that teacher, maybe she just needs a little "education", I think your article is enough to get her started, great job!
