Dear Editor: Our entire family was quite heated with the attack on CHS Principal Derek Folan in the paper last week, about his alleged political motives behind the planned student walkout. This reader clearly does not have teenage children! We are Second Amendment supporters and student supporters! Yes, you can be both! Thank you to the school […]
Editor’s note: The following letter was written in response to an email to parents from CHS Principal Derek Folan concerning yesterday’s National Student Walkout and is being printed at the request of the author.

Dear Editor: The students of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are the latest victims in what seems an unending string of school shootings.

Dear Editor: I read in the Canton Citizen recently that a student group was planning to add some new flags to the display in the Canton High School lobby. I am deeply concerned about this and am hoping the “Hall of Flags” can be properly vetted and reconsidered. I am curious how this display first […]
To parents of school-age children in Canton: Can anyone tell me why only two people — Barry Nectow, business administrator for the Canton Public Schools, and Stephen Connolly, operations manager at Michael J. Connolly & Sons bus company — have the final say in where school bus stops are located in Canton? Seven weeks ago, […]
Dear Editor: As a statewide immigrant advocacy organization, we were concerned to read the deeply misleading letter from John Thompson of the Massachusetts Coalition for Immigration Reform posted on the Canton Citizen website in response to a recent column by state Representative William Galvin regarding the Safe Communities Act. Contrary to Thompson’s claims, nothing in […]
Editor’s note: The following letter was sent in response to Rep. Bill Galvin’s guest column that appeared in the December 28 edition of the Canton Citizen.
