Several years ago in Wells--the United South Central School District--he used his kids as advertising props to try and convince voters that public schools were awful and icky places. In the last couple of years, people have caught onto his act, but he still has a potent approach. Also, he does not come cheaply. Rumor has it that he demands an up-front fee of between $5,000 - $10,000 just to arrive and "help". Mr. Dorr is not afraid of using his own children for his advantage in these levy campaigns.

Leave the kids out of it. Not to minimize what is happening by the St. Croix, but do you put lowball campaign tactics in the same class as trying to establish a theocratic/ethnically segregateed school syustem?
