Abstract:

Papers of Alex Molnar, a member of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee education faculty, primarily documenting his leadership in the Military Families Support Network (MFSN), a national organization formed in 1990 after a letter Molnar wrote opposing the build-up for the Persian Gulf War appeared in the New York Times. The collection also documents Molnar's educational philosophy and activism, including his regular call-in educational program Molnar on Education, broadcast by Wisconsin Public Radio during the 1990s. These programs refer to many of the most important educational issues of the period, and the guests included John Benson, Paul Wellstone, and many leading educators. In addition, other materials document Molnar's unsuccessful candidacy for the position of superintendent of public instruction.
