Marshall Fritz, 1943-2008
Marshall Fritz, my friend, constant source of inspiration, and a Freeman author, died earlier this month at age 65 after a long struggle against cancer. Marshall was founder of both the Advocates for Self-Government and the Alliance for the Separation for School and State. It was in the latter context that he and I worked together. He founded the Alliance in 1994, just as my book Separating School and State was being published, though neither of us knew what the other was up to. Marshall’s conferences (SepCons) were important gatherings of the wide variety of advocates of educational freedom and opponents of government schooling. The Alliance continues to play a key role in promoting the liberation of families from the state.
Marshall was widely known as the developer of the World’s Smallest Political Quiz.
The November Freeman contains an article on education that he co-wrote with the current Alliance president, Alan Schaeffer.
