RE: We should all be angry at school closures (July 10)

Heather Kuyk gets an “F” for her rant for failing to mention anywhere the key issue of demographi­cs. Ontario’s fertility rate has sunk to 1.5, far below replacemen­t level of 2.1. That’s why 121 Ontario schools are set to close over the next three years, not because of evil officials and politician­s, as Kuyk would have it. Jeff White, Ancaster
