Teen returns to school after Romney T-shirt flap
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A 16-year-old high school sophomore who says she was ridiculed by her geometry teacher for wearing a Mitt Romney T-shirt returned to school Tuesday following a rally by cheering supporters. The teacher has also written a letter of apology that was read aloud to students.
Samantha Pawlucy hadn’t been back to Charles Carroll High School in the city’s Port Richmond section since last week. That’s when she and her family say she was mocked by her teacher for wearing the shirt supporting the Republican presidential candidate. She said the teacher questioned why she was wearing the shirt and called others in to the room to laugh at her.
Pawlucy, whose family had expressed concern for her safety, returned Tuesday after a rally that featured supporters singing the national anthem and reading the First Amendment — as well as shouts of supporters calling “Go, Sam!” and “You’re great, Sam!”
The school’s principal read students the letter of apology from geometry teacher Lynette Gaymon on Tuesday.

A gutless principal reading a note from a clueless teacher. Ain’t that special. Not buying apology. Fatass obama supporter should have given apolgy in person, on the way out the door to the unemployment line. If a white teacher did the same thing to a black student the white teacher would be fired, sued, and prosecuted.

Oh! It was a JOKE! That makes it all better! Samantha Pawlucy should REFUSE the apology and demand the teacher be fired for bullying her. Remember bullying? The liberal codeword du jour?
