The sister of the teen who faced down Brownback deserves a shout out!
<snip>
Sullivan says he better not hold his breath. After originally acquiescing to her principal's request, the 18-year-old took her story to Kansas papers and news stations--and now to national outlets--and has changed her mind.

"He was very angry, right off the bat," Sullivan said of her principal, Karl Krawitz. "He was extremely scared about it. He made it very clear that he wasn't happy."

Sullivan agreed to write the apology letter "to get it out of the way," she says. "I didn't want to deal with it because I'm in the process of applying to school and am trying to keep my reputation good."

But she soon thought the better of it, after calling her older sister, Olivia, who is a political science major at Wichita State University and is now managing her flood of interview requests. "I wasn't sorry for what I said because I meant it," Sullivan says. She disagrees with Brownback, a Republican, on rights for gay couples and abortion rights, among other things.

I would love to know what she said.
Obviously, a nest of radicals live there. Thank Gawd!

1. Now, why would Principal Krawitz be so skeered of Gov. Brownback?
There is another story there, I am sure.
