outtheother: icanread: (via brad ruggles) A GREAT thing to keep in mind when you vote. Just a tiny side note: when I was in elementary school, we were taught an awful lot about Helen Keller — that she flourished despite seemingly insurmountable disabilities, she was a fierce advocate of woman suffrage, and that she was educated at Radcliffe despite the fact that she was deaf and blind. Somehow, though, it took until I was in my mid-20s or so to learn another interesting fact about her: she was a prominent member of the Socialist Party. That fact, they somehow missed teaching us in school. I always found that omission kind of…interesting.
