Shurtleff: Upsetting the Education Mafia

Hal Shurtleff

My late friend and mentor, Sam Blumenfeld, once remarked that the government school system is a “sick, obsolete dinosaur being propped up by powerful lobbyists like the National Education Association and government officials.”  The truth of that statement was on full display recently at the Wolfeboro Library.

Warning to Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro and Ossipee voters

Response to The Hit-Piece On Me …

Michael Moffett

Folks who know me understand that when I get poked, I often poke back. Probably a Marine thing.

Friends advised against it. “Just ignore it.” The thing is that the truth is important, and I don’t … Read more
