Call for a Shanker stamp
Mar 13, 2008 3:59 PM
To the Editor:
In recalling Albert Shanker, it is often overlooked that he was a scholar and a strong advocate for academic excellence. In this regard, he crossed ideological boundaries campaigning with Lynne Cheney, our vice president’s wife, in pressing for quality scholarship in our nation’s classrooms.
It would not be remiss to approach Al Shanker’s political opposites like Mrs. Cheney and request a stamp be issued in his honor as a strong labor leader and promoter of academic excellence.
Emmanuel V. Molho, retired
