Reinstate Mr. Thomas Leahy

/ #311 As one who has fond memories of growing up in Kansas...

I habitually cringe when I read about the reactionary, bigoted attitudes and policies that control too much of what happens in my home state.  That was my initial reaction to the story of Leahy's suspension for taking the initiative to teach his students about the dangers of bullying.

It's heartening to learn that Kansans are standing up for Leahy's actions, instead of knuckling under to yet another overreach by authoritarian "leaders".  Leahy is the leader in this case, as are the individual Kansans fighting back against knee-jerk, repressive stereotypes.  

Stand your ground, Mr. Leahy.
