Alan Wilfahrt

Alan Wilfahrt

A baby boomer who never wholeheartedly embraced political activism, yet always was leaning to the progressive causes. Unwilling to relinquish his country to the authoritarian conservatism that has risen to power over the last thirty years, he is taking on a more public presence to promote positive and truthful discourse. Less attempting to persuade ideologues, he hopes to encourage reasonable people to join in denouncing the falsehoods and misleading statements of any group or individual. He has faith that collectively the world has more decent people then corrupt souls, but the honest must not remain uninvolved.So a misanthropic recluse is speaking out.

This has been the hottest school board race I’ve seen in 25 years of living in Minneapolis, with lots of conspiracy theories and pearl-clutching.
