James Condit Fighting the Odds

This is where Condit’s rhetoric begins getting radical.

“The public education is a system from the 1800s, created to discipline children so they could work in factories,” Condit said. “The Industrial Revolution is over—we don’t need this system anymore.”

Although traditional Cambridge would abhor the notion of abolishing public schools, Condit says that the dire state of Cambridge’s schools—among the state’s best-funded and lowest-scoring—will turn Cambridge towards libertarianism.

“I think the character of Cambridge is changing as more and more people become property owners,” Condit said.

Condit, who is “firmly opposed to rent control,” says he will be seeking the endorsement of the Small Property Owners Association (SPOA), an organization famed for working to pass the statewide ban that ended rent control.
