California teen suspended over Newtown poem
http://j.mp/UkAFNU (NY Daily News)
A California teenager who expressed her feelings about the Newtown
school massacre in a poem has found herself suspended and facing
possible expulsion. "I understand the killings in Connecticut. I know
why he pulled the trigger," wrote Courtni Webb in her poem. "Misery
loves company. If I can't be loved no one can," she wrote. Webb told
NBC News that she wrote the poem to express her belief that people act
violently when they feel helpless. "I didn't say that I agree with
it, I said I simply understand it," she said of the killings. "I feel
like I've really been made to almost look like a monster by my school
and I don't appreciate that at all."
