Regarding Mayor Richard Riordan’s assessment of the schools (“Riordan Task Force Plans Its Own School Board Slate,” Sept. 12): Finally, someone who has the fortitude to tell the truth.

I will either have to move or send my sons to a private school while my taxes support a deficient public school system.
I certainly don’t share [governor candidate] Gray Davis’ confidence in the school system and I don’t understand why he praises it in his TV ads.
