P.S. Governor Apologizes To Tweeter

High school senior Emma Sullivan displays the text of a tweet she sent after listening to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback speak to a group of students last week in Fairway, Kan. Since posting the tweet, Sullivan was called into the principal's office and ordered to write an apology to Brownback but instead Brownback offered an apology for his staff's reaction to the tweet today.

Question: Was Brownback right to apologize to Sullivan for his staff's reaction to her tweet?
