Educator, lecturer, author, historian, and advocate for better schools. Bob has written and spoken publicly in support of American values and against the destruction of our educational system brought about by "cancel culture", "critical race theory", and "wokeism" which he collectively refers to as the "unholy trinity". As a teacher, he single-handedly took on the teachers' unions, public school officials, and town bureaucrats in a first in the nation legal and political battle to remove asbestos from the school building in which he had been a teacher. His efforts served as a paradigm for other communities to follow in their attempts to ensure the health and safety of their schoolchildren. In addition, he fought to eliminate toxic drinking water at the school. His actions led to the EPA regulation known as the Lead and Copper Rule.
