Winston is a teacher...
He taught social studies courses (mostly civics and economics) for over 20 years (1985-2005). He has a masters in Curriculum and Instruction. Although he "retired" from teaching in the public schools in 2005, he continues to teach, describing himself as "a retired civics teacher who has gone rogue". The nature of his work as a teacher now consists of living his own version of the "Three Rs" - reading, reflecting, and responding. Most of his reading involves research directed at civic matters and economics. He responds publicly and in writing.
A political activist
Winston's interest in civic matters shines through in many ways. The ideas he shares in "Edutopia" and "Government by the People" include calls to action that reflect his agreement with Benjamin Franklin that "Well done is better than well said." He has been an active member of numerous political organizations. He was elected to the Democratic National Committee in June of 2016 and to the State Committee of the Missouri Democratic Party in November of that same year. He did not run for re-election to either committee, but continues to be an active member of a growing number of political organizations.
