The Weekly Sam: Government Schools–Temples of Humanism

Back in 1988, Sam Blumenfeld told me in no uncertain terms that I should never send my children to a government school.  I took his advice and I am forever grateful for doing so.  My wife and I sent two of our children to a Christian school for a few years and then started homeschooling.  After a tough day, we sometimes asked ourselves if we were doing the right thing.  We then would play one of the many speeches of Sam’s which we had on cassette.  Sam’s presentations always encouraged us to stay the course.

Camp Constitution inherited most of Sam’s books, papers, and recording.  Thanks to our webmaster Eric Coniver and our camp newspaper editor Mark Affleck, the books and papers were converted to PDFs and the recording were converted to MP3 and MP4 and the Sam Blumenfeld Archives was created.  This archive has an average of two million views every year, and people from all over the U.S and the world have downloaded Sam’s writings especially Alpha-Phonics. 

Recently, a supporter of Camp Constitution  made it possible for us to have unlimited space on our Podomatic page and we are uploading Sam’s recording on the page introducing Sam’s work to a larger audience.   Here is our latest upload-a timeless presentation:    https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/shurtleffhal/episodes/2021-05-19T12_48_48-07_00
