This shit needs to stop. Emma is being bullied and the principal is getting death threats.
Let's keep the focus on the real bad guy in this situation - SAM BROWNBACK.

Regardless of what the principal did, he doesn't deserve death threats.

And just because the Phelps clan lives in Kansas doesn't mean the entire state is full of whacked out crazies.

There are a lot of good people in Kansas. There are many things being done to support Emma and make sure nothing like this ever happens here again.

I'm reading some crazy nonsense here the last few days. And I've had quite a few DUers ask me for contact info for the school and the principal. Yes send an email thanking the school for revoking the punishment. But threats and name calling makes us no better than them.

Please stop.

3. No way of knowing who
My first thought was teabaggers. They play dirty. But I think you knew that. :)

11. Thanks for the link. Two things that struck me as truths....
1. “I think it will blow over. I hope it will. I’m going to keep doing the things that I think are right for myself. I think it’s just petty, the things they are doing,” she said.

It WILL blow over. We all have our 15 minutes of fame...

2. "The incident hasn’t changed her views on where her life is heading, however."

What a level headed kid!! She's going to go far!!

6. I wrote the principal and told him he owed the student an apology. Nothing wrong with that is there?

8. Of course not.
A lot of us wrote him and asked for an apology. And he offered one.

13. There are millions of people who don't fall into either "us" or "them" -
completely apolitical people with axes to grind.

15. This is the internet
Kansas may not be full of whacked out crazies, but the internet is. You can get death threats for posting a cookie recipe on here.

The death threats may well just be trolls.
