Claim: Rob Wagner served as associate editor for Los Angeles-based Western Comrade magazine and he sent his sons to Boyland.
Evidence: During this period he served as associate editor for Los Angeles-based Western Comrade magazine, which offered a mix of socialist dogma, labor-related film news, advocacy on the women's suffrage movement, and profiles on artists and writers. Wagner also sent his sons to Boyland, an avant-garde boarding school with a progressive, if not unorthodox, approach to education.
