In which, Lucas in fact does have a Dream

Lucas had taken to using his demon form. To he honest he wasn't exactly sure he had ever walked around school in it minus a few times. This was big for him, he understood the pressure that being demon put on demons. You were automatically the bad guy and there was rarely room for improvement. That's why he had made a bunch of signs and hung them around the courtyard. It was time to actually have a message of some sort.

"My Aspiration for this election is to Inspire all of you to challenge Stereotypes, rumors and of course common misconception of every and all species located here on the island."

All eyes were on him, don't choke don't stutter. He had to keep this up, he was doing good. He had ordered pizza, soda and cookies. He had even invited the younger years and lured them there with promises of candy. Was that wrong? Probably but he knew that even though they were younger it didn't matter. Every vote counted and he was not about to offer the kindergartners longer nap times. He didn't want to insult anyone.

"This island is supposed to be a safe Haven for those discriminated against in various parts of the known and unknown universes, and I would like for the school to reflect that. "

He looked out towards the crowd that had formed. Was this what elections were about? A week of speaking in front of crowds and the meetings everyday. He would have to talk, he would have to be..smooth? Ugh. This was horrible, he hadn't wanted to read off cards. Nor did he want to seem like he didn't know what he was talking about. He was not inwardly panicking, no he could do this. After all his niece had worked hard on the posters and he wanted to show his appreciation, she had so no stuttering. They were in this to win this.

He had even invited students from the DSU to join his rally. Because thats what it was.

Lucas was glad that people were asking and questions and listening to his message. He was also extremely grateful that Shay showed up. He didn't really have anyone besides his girlfriend and family that he was truly close to on the island so it did give him confidence.

"That's an excellent question, its my strong belief that part of the reason there are so many misconceptions is that there is not enough factual information is being spread. I propose that we reach out and speak to these individuals. I will also be starting a program that addresses these stereotypes and helps set them straight. This has become about misinformation and sometimes hatred. That should not have to be tolerated. I believe that those mistreating others based on sexual orentiation, gender, race, species, color, fashion sense or any type of bullying should face displinary actions."

Lucas took a deep breath and gave a firm but serious smile the passion I'm his voice very apparent. He had never felt so strongly about something before, it was his power. He was being affected by it, even if he couldn't see it he could it was suffocating him. He wasn't sure he wanted it to stop, was this election turning him into a rights activist?

"This is about more than just election, its about making sure that we give everyone the chance to learn and thrive in an environment that they can feel safe in. We shouldn't be pushing others away based on myths and rumors. The golden rule is treat others the way, you would want to be treated and I support that."

Lucas was inwardly surprised that hr had so much to say based on such a small question. He finished the answer and pointed at another person for a question. He was fired up and he had no clue how to turn it off.

Lucas paused and blink towards the individual that stepped up. After all everyone was welcomed to voice their opinions and he would not belittle them at all. However his family was not now or would it ever be up fit discussion or slander. How dare this large idiot insinuate such things about his family.

Lucas once again was thankful that Shay had decided to help him. Even though he knew that he probably was no going to win, there was always next year. "That's a very good point and I don't intend for this outreach program to just help demons. I want to reach out to everyone, no one is barred or left out this program. Everyone is effected by stereotypes and prejudices against them. I want this program to focus on leveling the playing field so to speak. All who join and participate are on equal footing, no one species is favored over the other."

Lucas wanted to make sure they understood that he wasn't just talking about fairness for Demons. He wanted everyone to feel like they could be themselves, they could express themselves and their heritage without worrying about other people stoppiing them. Freedom of Expression was one thing that Lucas lived for, thrived for, it's what his mother spent her whole traveling the world to preserve, whether it was simply artistic or otherwise.
