(AP) – A suburban Kansas City teen landed herself in trouble by tweeting a few “joking” words about Sen. Sam Brownback during a Statehouse field trip.

Emma Sullivan soon learned that that Brownback’s office monitors social media for postings containing the governor’s name. She wound up getting lectured by her principal at Shawnee Mission East in Prairie Village and ordered to draft an apology.

It all started Monday during Brownback’s greeting to young people who were in Topeka to learn about the political process.

Sullivan thumbed from the back of the crowd, “Just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot.” She actually said nothing and described the tweet as “joking around.”

The governor’s spokeswoman says the comments weren’t “respectful.”
