Letters: Name that school

Re “What’s in a name? Discord,� Dec. 5

So it’s all right to name a school in L.A. after the parents of City Councilman Tony Cardenas but not after any Republican president since William Howard Taft. Even Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, both presidents from California, didn’t make the cut. It is sad that our political animosity does not allow us to respect at least the office of the president.

But hey, most people like jazz, so yay to Quincy Jones Elementary.
