Please tell the local politician who banned Mrs. Claus from the Raleigh Christmas Parade that if we apply his twisted logic to Mr. Claus, we'd not have a Santa at all.

The school picture
Regarding your Feb. 6 editorial "Parents speak": Using the survey you quoted as evidence of the satisfaction of Wake County families with the public school system is ludicrous. -
