Camp Constitution in the News
It’s been almost three years since our “Shurtleff v Boston” lawsuit was decided but it continues to be mentioned in the news around the country. Our case was recently cited in a decision by the University of Massachusetts Amherst when the “Pride” flag was removed from a building, and in February our case was mentioned in a controversy at the Marblehead, MA High School. An article about our friend Sampson Recioppi contained references to Camp Constitution and an interview of me: https://www.bostonbroadside.com/liberal-legislators/from-battlefield-to-bar-fight-patriotic-activism-bias-blocks-army-veteran-from-admission-to-the-new-hampshire-bar/ We continue to write article for The Weirs Times, a weekly newspaper in New Hampshire, The Boston Broadside, a monthly paper and two on-line news and info sources The Granite Grok and The Rochester Voice.

We are experiencing some issues with our on-line “Alpha-Phonics” instructions. While we hope to work out the problem, we have a playlist of three videos that Sam produced that contain all 128 lessons:
Jonah Wheeler, a 22-year-old State Rep from Peterboro , NH recently gave a speech speaking out against men competing in women’s sports. His Democrat colleagues walk out on him. A Bernie Sanders supporter, Jonah was called a Nazi by fellow Democrats, Mr. Wheeler said that many of his fellow liberals agree with him but are afraid to speak up.

The once great City of Boston is run by far-left, America hating Democrats. It is a so-called “sanctuary city” for violent illegal alien criminals and its mayor and police chief refuse to work with I.C.E. officials when it comes to the most violent of the illegal aliens. But it wasn’t always that way. While we have to go back a long way to the 1920s, the City actually had a “Committee for Americanism” and published a book for legal aliens wanting to become U.S. citizens called A Little Book for Immigrants in Boston.
While I am not sure if those in Heaven are aware of what is happening here on Earth, but if they are, I am certain that our late friend and mentor Sam Blumenfeld is rejoicing over President Trump’s recent executive order defunding, with the goal of abolishing, the U.S. Department of Education. I used to joke with Sam suggesting that if he became Secretary of the Department of Education, his first duty would be to obtain an auctioneer’s mallet. He then would sell the property owned by the unconstitutional department to the highest bidder, fire all of the employees, and resign. Here is the news released issued by, we hope, the soon defunct department:
Secretary of Education Linda McMahon released the following statement following President Trump’s Executive Order to return education to the states:
“Today’s Executive Order is a history-making action by President Trump to free future generations of American students and forge opportunities for their success. We are sending education back to the states where it so rightly belongs.
“Education is fundamentally a state responsibility. Instead of filtering resources through layers of federal red tape, we will empower states to take charge and advocate for and implement what is best for students, families, and educators in their communities.
“Closing the Department does not mean cutting off funds from those who depend on them—we will continue to support K-12 students, students with special needs, college student borrowers, and others who rely on essential programs. We’re going to follow the law and eliminate the bureaucracy responsibly by working through Congress to ensure a lawful and orderly transition.
“With today’s action, we take a significant step forward to give parents and states control over their children’s education. Teachers will be unshackled from burdensome regulations and paperwork, empowering them to get back to teaching basic subjects. Taxpayers will no longer be burdened with tens of billions of dollars of waste on progressive social experiments and obsolete programs. K-12 and college students will be relieved of the drudgery caused by administrative burdens—and positioned to achieve success in a future career they love.”
This is a long time coming. Ronald Reagan campaigned on abolishing the department only to see it grow under his administration. The Department of Education is an unconstitutional entity that should never have been created. I think that our late friend and mentor helped to make
