Letter: Teacher was not mistaken

To the Editor:

Reading Eric Olson’s column about the shirt controversy at Genoa Middle School, I appreciated his reminding the public that the teacher who objected to a shirt depicting guns should not be vilified and threatened. However, you said she “made a mistake.”

My reaction is this: No. No, she did not make a mistake. She tried to uphold a peaceful, non threatening, civil environment that doesn’t include the glorification of weapons.
