Bill Clinton: “American Federation of Teachers May 6, 1997 In electing Sandra Feldman president, the American Federation of Teachers…”

“American Federation of Teachers May 6, 1997 In electing Sandra Feldman president, the American Federation of Teachers has chosen someone who has already proven herself as a dynamic leader and superb educator. I've visited schools with her in New York and have seen first-hand the respect that teachers and students have for her. I share that respect. Like her predecessor, Al Shanker, Sandra Feldman is an outstanding advocate for our Nation's students. I look forward to working with her on a variety of issues that will improve the quality of education our children receive, including making high standards a reality in every American public school.”
