Cindy: Press Trolls Went Too Far

Cindy (re: "Press trolls slime Lakeland teacher): Oh. My. God. Really? Its a good thing we live in Amercia where women don’t have to dress as men dictate. Even though all we all know how little self control men/boys have and how seeing cleavage might make them have bad, nasty thoughts! Thoughts they are NOT responsible for. I made it through half of the comments at the Press site before I saw RED and threw up in my mouth a little. I’m a professional woman and think Ms. Ridley dress is entirely appropriate. I’m also the mother of four sons and wouldn’t be SHOCKED or apalled if any of their female teachers wore a similar outift. It is beyond disgusting to me that the Press site allowed such outrageous, sexist comments. Grow up, already.

Question: Should the Coeur d'Alene Press monitor its online comments more closely?
