Re: [Marxism] Teacher victims of witch hunt seek vindication

["farmelantj@xxxxxxxx" <farmelantj@xxxxxxxx>]

Irving Adler was certainly one of the
luckier people who got purged from
the teaching profession during
the McCarthy period, since he
was able to move on to a successful
career as a writer of popular science
and mathematics books, and he was
also able to become an academic.
I remember as a kid reading some
of his books like his,
*Thinking Machines: A Layman's Introduction 
to Logic, Boolean Algebra, and Computers*,
and *The Elementary Mathematics of the
Atom*, which was about quantum mechanics,
as well as other books by him.

When Suspicion of Teachers Ran Unchecked in New York

Fifty-seven years later, Irving Adler still remembers the day he went 
from teacher to ex-teacher at Straubenmuller Textile High School on West 
18th Street.
