Edward Pawlick consumer reviews from his home in Sherborn, MA., a small suburban town north-west of Boston has little credibility with the mainstream news right now. He received consumer reviews some attention two months ago when he sent out a 28 page anti-gay booklet to the 4,000 residents of his home town, but most the of mainstream media outlets now write him off as a crackpot. But despite this the incident worries me. First of all, the Newton consumer reviews leaflet was a response to the organizing of a Gay and Straight Alliance for parents of children in the town's schools. For a liberal suburb like Newton this is not very controversial, but the public discourse around children and sexuality is so charged that material like Pawlick's newsletter could seriously hold up a project such as this for months and play upon preexisting rifts within the school board, as well as parent's groups.
