Hannah Browning on 28 Nov 11I wouldn't apologize either, i think she's doing the right thing.

alexisprazak on 28 Nov 11Personally, I don't think he should be forced to apologize. Yes, his comments were hurtful, but as a public political figure you have to expect these kinds of negative comments. Plus, like the last line of the article said "the governor of Kansas has more important thing to worry about."

Ziada Karbowski on 28 Nov 11It wasn't meant for anybody but her friends, it was simply an accident. They shouldn't be so worried about it but she is right about freedom of speech. I wonder what's going to be done about it.

Lexi Raygor on 28 Nov 11I think she should at least apologize. Although free speech is an unalienable right, everyone should still share opinions in a respectful manner.

Megan Rief on 28 Nov 11I like the story, its very interesting that the governor took the twitter post from the teenager to heart and requires an apology letter to be productive and move on, he should be focused on more important things.

Brian Williams on 28 Nov 11Not gonna lie, I've seen far worse things on Twitter.

Samantha Pike on 28 Nov 11I find this story very interesting, I do agree that we have freedom of speech. However lying is not in our Constitution. There are multiple worse things that are posted on Facebook, and Twitter.

Derek Large on 28 Nov 11When it takes a apology letter is needed to work with the gov then they need some one new to take that office. If it was his own kid then it is understandable. but when he does not know them then they shouldn't bother him as much as they have. and it is true that twitter holds many things that are far worse that deal with the gov't.

Brice Johnson on 01 Dec 11The girl was at no fault, even though she did not actually do the things she said in the tweet. Hundreds of millions of posts about politicians are posted every. If all of the politicians took the things said to heart the government would be in ever deeper trouble than they are now.

ladasia on 04 Sep 13yeah, she should have used her words more wisely, but freedom of speech is a very important law as long as it is not abused. I'm glad everything worked out, and the gov. corrected himself.

Sara Dunn on 06 Sep 13She should have the freedom to voice her opinion however she wants

Kayla Stottlemyer on 06 Sep 13Teenagers these days have no respect for adults and Authority.

Zach Standard on 06 Sep 13at least she was voicing her opinion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

jefferyduncan on 06 Sep 13she shouldn't even have to apologize for anything like freedom of expression so she has all right to post what ever she wants on twitter isn't that what it was made for to post things your thinking of or your opinion on something
