Hello again
I sincerely hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break. The week ahead will feature a close examination of slavery. Come ready to THINK and DISCUSS tomorrow.
I'll leave you with this:
Be careful what you tweet, you never who's reading your posts. By the way, Sam Brownback is the current governor of Kansas.

Why should it matter who reads it? It looks petty on Brownback's behalf for his staff to contact this girl's school because of a tweet. The authorities are really going to make her right an apology letter? Really? Brownback is like 50, not 5. This looks horrible when a government official's people get involved with stuff like this- wasting government money and time.

So what exactly is the threat if she dosn't write the letter? Also not only involving themselfs but doing the research to find this is disapointing.

Aurora,
Nothing will happen to her. She can't really be punished for this by the school. Plus she never even said the derogatory remark to the governor.

"Just made mean comments to gov Brownback and told him he sucked, in person." That's what's getting her in trouble? This is just like that one time I said John Adams was a dummy. Boy was that a mistake. Silly government, you're supposed to protect my rights, not infringe upon them.

Amen Sam!

Sam,
Are you a psychic medium able to communicate with dead presidents??? I smell a sitcom!

That's just so ridiculous to me that she got punished for such an insignificant remark! There was no real threat posed. It's not like she said " I hate brownback. I'm going to bomb his office, and the Whitehouse while im at it." Why were Brownback's people even bothering to check this girl's Twitter. Sounds like the people that work for him were trying to score brownie points with the governor..or should i say "Brown-nosing" him ha.

There's ways one can follow anything posted about one's self on the Interwebs and Brownback's staff did that. Do they really care what a high school senior allegedly said about them on Twitter?!?

Looks like Brownback had his feelings hurt. Plus I like your new picture. I have see a lot of different versions of the cop with pepper spray. Some of the pictures are pretty funny.

People tweet WAY worse stuff about other politicians, just look up Barack Obama. This looks bad on Brownback's part in my opinion.

I'm surprised her comment got any attention from Brownback's staff, especially because it's not that harmful. I would think there would be other things for people to concentrate on and for being interested in politics her comment didn't sound like it was based on much and shouldn't be consequential.

Apparently freedom of speach doesn't matter when it comes to tweeting. Really? The tweet wasn't even that bad. If they are going to pay attention to one little tweet about a negative opinion on the govenor, then that is a disappointing way to spend time.
