KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Kansas teenager who wrote a disparaging tweet about Gov. Sam Brownback is rejecting her high school principal's demand that she apologize.

Emma Sullivan told The Associated Press on Sunday that she's not sorry and an apology letter wouldn't be sincere.

The Shawnee Mission East senior was in Topeka last week when she sent a tweet from the back of a crowd of students listening to Brownback. It read: "Just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person."

She actually made no such comment. But Brownback's office saw her post, and she was called into the principal's office. Her apology is due Monday.

Sullivan has received a wave of support, with many saying she shouldn't have been targeted. Her Twitter account now boasts 3,000 followers.

I am SO glad she's not buckling under their demand to apologize. I usually roll my eyes at people on the internet who invoke the Free Speech argument, because they're usually wrong in how they're applying it. In this case, it's absolutely true. She's allowed by law to speak out against the government or any agent thereof. Screw Brownback and screw her principal.

If Brownback's camp hadn't made an issue of it, in the first place, it would never have become this big! No one would have known or cared, otherwise. I don't think she should apologize either, at this point.

I think it's funny that Brownback's camp actually narked on her. What a bunch of crybabies.

Your "friend" sure is dumb on FB.

To me that's the biggest part of the story, that they notified her school. WTF????

He just has to contradict everything I say on facebook, regardless of what it is.

Just picked up five Dutch followers in the last couple of hours on Twitter - legit ones, not spam - and I have absolutely no idea why.

You posted about 3 star restaurants in Holland I think. You get followers by hitting keywords sometimes.

Ahh, bizarre. I still don't really *get* Twitter, but I enjoy it well enough.
