    Honoring Homeschool Pioneer Sam Blumenfeld Who Would Have Turned 100.

    May 31, 2026 would have been my friend and mentor’s 100 birthday.  Sam went to be with the Lord on June 1, 2015-a day after his 89th birthday.    Sam’s last book which he co-authored with Alex Newman was Crimes of the Educators.  A week prior to Sam’s passing, I called Alex and asked when he was planning on visiting Sam.  They had not yet met in person but frequently met on conference calls.  Alex said that he planned a summer visit.  I told him that he most likely won’t be alive by then.  We provided an airline ticket for him, and he flew to Boston on the following day, Thursday.  I had hoped to videotape an interview of the two of them, but Sam’s condition had deteriorated, and it would have been an injustice to him.  They interacted as if they were lifelong friends.   Alex, like numerous others, is carrying on the work of Sam.Sam Blumenfeld was born on May 31, 1926, in New York City.  His parents were Polish immigrants.  His mother, who Sam adored, was illiterate.  Sam attended a public school in the Bronx where he received an excellent education.  Sam was a World War II veteran serving in an artillery unit in Italy.    He participated in a prisoner escort where he took pity on a starving German soldier and shared his food with him.  After the war, Sam graduated from City College of New York.  He returned to postwar Europe visiting some friends he made during the war and returned to the U.S. to start a career in the publishing business.  Sam was fluent in several languages.  In 1963, he traveled to Madrid, Spain to interview Dr. Moise Tshombe, the pro-Western leader of Katanga who was ousted by the United Nations  peacekeepers who committed atrocities against the civilian population and replaced by the Moscow trained Patrice Lamumba.It was while he was an editor for Grosset and Dunlop when he got a request from a friend Attorney and Hall of Fame tennis player Watson Washburn to join his reading reform organization which he recently started.  Sam was surprised by the request telling Mr. Washburn that reading was a basic thing you learned in elementary school.  Mr. Washburn suggested that Sam read the book Why Johnny Can’t Read by Rudolf Flesch.  The book changed Sam’s life.  Flesch pointed out that the look-say or whole word method was introduced to  the nation’s schools in the mid to late 1930s.  The Depression made it difficult for most schools to buy the new look-say books but by the mid-1940s most schools around the nation adopted this method of reading.  It  The archive contains an on-line version of Sam’s Alpha-Phonics with all 128 lessons in either audio or video,  courses on cursive, and basic arithmetic.  It also contains PDF versions of most of Sam’s books, newsletters, hundreds of hours of Sam’s lectures in audio and video, manuscripts, and his correspondence.  For unlimited free access to the archive, all we need is an E-mail address and a username.  (Donations are, of course, greatly appreciated.)  Here is the link to the archive:  http://blumenfeld.campconstitution.net/main.htmCamp Constitution is a New Hampshire based charitable trust.  We run a week-long family camp, man information tables at various venues, have a book publishing arm, and post videos from our camp and others that we think are of importance.

    Ask An Ex Trans: An Interview of David Arthur

    Hal Shurtleff, host of The Camp Constitution Report, interviews David Arthur, a former Transgender.  From his website:  https://www.ibelongamen.com/  The LORD has provided me a very powerful testimony of deliverance and healing. I've endured a very dark life consisting of molestation, sex-trafficking, prostitution, gender confusion, rape, homosexuality and other sexual addictions & perversion, as well as alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc...But GOD... HE healed me while I was on my deathbed with full blown AIDS, no immune system, several infections in my brain & blood, progressive Osteoporosis, diabetes, various mental issues, etc...I was sexually abused from a very young age. I became a sex addict before I even hit puberty. I also suffered from gender DYSphoria (confusion) as a result of the abuse. I was the suicidal transkid that is always brought up in the debates & discussions meant to promote the TransQueer agenda. I overdosed at age 13 in an attempt to end my misery. I was a runaway prostitute that contracted HIV/AIDS at age 14. In & out of jail, psych wards, and prison; I ended up on my deathbed by age 37. The doctors gave me less than 3 months to live, and I was sent home to die. That was in 2009. But GOD!!Let me also say this... the suicidal ideation of those who claim they are trans-identified is emotional blackmail! I was that suicidal transkid, but what they do not tell you is that you go from being a suicidal transkid to being a suicidal transadult because affirmation, puberty blockers, wrong-sex hormones, inclusivity, transition, acceptance, diversity, equity do NOT take away depression, confusion, angst, trauma, or suicidal ideation!With my body weakening in the hospital bed that was placed in my home, and as hospice came in and took care of me, I recognized that I was afraid to die. I instantly knew that I was afraid to die because I did not want to go to hell, and I knew hell was not only what I deserved for all of the horrible things I'd done, but that it was exactly where I was heading. I cried out to GOD in desperation. I received clarity, and understand that GOD was not sending me to hell, but merely honoring my choice to go there.After opening a Bible, being convicted, and seeking The FATHER, I spent weeks repenting and praying to become a Child of HIS! I woke up one morning, in excruciating pain, but with an incredible Peace. It is what I call my "Moment of Grace." I felt Peace like I'd never experienced. I knew that I was free! Free of gender confusion! Free of the sexual, emotional and even the physical addictions, strongholds, and perversions, as well as the weight of sin that held me captive! GOD Almighty gave me clarity.I still believed I was going to die, but I was no longer afraid of death. I was actually at Peace with dying, and so I began praying that through my death others would come to know the Truth as well.My call is to tell of the Freedom from addictions, strongholds and even habits; how, in this process, I was allowed to see, with clarity, that I was created male and could never change that; that it was my circumstances & trauma that perverted a very natural desire for male validation into what we know as same-sex attraction. Telling of GOD'S amazing work in, with, and through my life is the first gCamp Constitution is a New Hampshire based charitable trust.  We run a week-long family camp, man information tables at various venues, have a book publishing arm, and post videos from our camp and others that we think are of importance.

    Nine to Nothing; A song About the 9-0 U.S Supreme Court Decision "Shurtleff v Boston' by Chet Higa

    Verse 1]Down by Boston’s old City HallThree proud poles stood straight and tallOne for the nation, one for the stateOne where the people could celebrateYear after year they let flags rise highMany were welcomed against the skyThen Harold Shurtleff came with his group one dayAnd the city told them no, not that way[Verse 2]Harold wasn’t asking to break their rulesWasn’t bringing anger, wasn’t playing foolsJust wanted a moment, peaceful and fairTo let their Christian flag fly in the airThey’d opened that place to many beforeBut suddenly closed that same open doorAnd what made the difference, plain to seeWas the message of faith and identity[Chorus]And nine to nothing the Supreme Court saidYou can’t crown one voice and leave one for deadIf you open the square to the public callYou can’t shut out faith while welcoming allFrom that city breeze to this heart of mineFreedom still lives in that ruling lineWhen the law stands strong and the truth breaks throughNine to nothing, the Constitution spoke true[Verse 3]The justices looked at the way things ranAt the flags approved, at the city’s planSo many voices had been allowedDifferent causes, different crowdsIt wasn’t Boston speaking aloneThat third pole wasn’t just city-ownedAnd government can choose its words, that’s trueBut not silence belief for its point of view[Verse 4]So this was more than a flag unfurledIt spoke to the rights of the American worldFor churches and neighbors and civic menFor anyone shut outside the penIt means when the public door swings wideThe law won’t let prejudice slip insideNo second-class rights for the weak or smallThe First Amendment belongs to us all[Bridge]It doesn’t mean every case is the sameOr every flagpole must bear each nameBut when a city invites us nearIt can’t deny one voice out of fearThat’s why this victory still runs deepIt’s a promise the people can hold and keepEqual treatment under the skyThat’s the kind of freedom that never dies[Final Chorus]And nine to nothing let history showOne man stood firm and the whole land knowRights mean more when they’re held for allNot just the safe ones that never cause callsFrom courthouse stone to the backroad signsThis victory echoes through modern timesFor the faithful, the quiet, the strong, the fewNine to nothing, the Constitution spoke true[Outro]Yeah, nine to nothing, freedom shinedAnd equal justice still draws the lineCamp Constitution is a New Hampshire based charitable trust.  We run a week-long family camp, man information tables at various venues, have a book publishing arm, and post videos from our camp and others that we think are of importance.
