Has anyone seen this guys signs around town?

 

 

Kind of hard to miss since this year they aren't sticking with intersections but are posting mid street all over town!  Mr. Huppenthals signs catch my interest because he is so education orriented.  Promising 'reading' by 3rd grade!  Um, am I just that out of the loop?  In my day we were reading in 1st grade, certainly by second.   By third we were doing more complex tasks. 

Has education in America... Arizona in particular, gone so backwards that we cannot guarantee reading until 3rd grade?  Meaning some aren't reading until 4th?!

And are there no rules governing placement of political signs?
