Apology accepted?

Many of you who are all into political blogs and random tomfoolery may already have been following this story but for those who aren't I'm going to lay out this awesome story. On a recent field trip to Topeka,Kansas, a high school student tweeted about how much she thought that Governor Sam Brownback sucks. In fact you can click this entire sentence to read it. After that tweet went out things seemed normal for the teenage girl until someone in the governors office flagged the tweet,called the school and the principal ordered the girl to apologize. From this one act of trying to censor free speech a firestorm erupted and instead of the girl apologizing for exercising her right to say what she wants,the governor has apologized to her. Click on the photo below to see the apology.
