- Hi,
I'm a nonpracticing Amish female student at Columbia University and I resent that Brian Rohrbough blatantly capitalized on the very tragic Amish shooting today to espouse his views on evolution and abortion. His self-centered speech expressed no compassion whatsoever toward today's and last week's victims.
By the way, religion is NOT taught in Amish schools. The Amish firmly believe that God/religion is to be taught to their children by the parents and in church and NOT by teachers in the schoolroom. It is NOT the teachers' responsibilities to indoctrinate the kids.
I suppose Mr. Rohrbough would say that the Amish children today deserved to be shot and their parents and the community in general deserve to suffer as a result because the Amish expel God from the schoolroom.

- Hats off to CBS news for allowing Mr Rohrbough to speak during the free speech segment! He hit it way out of the ball park. Our founding father would be so proud!

- I absolutely agree with Mr. Rohrbough and salute him for standing up and saying what so many Americans say silently. There is indeed right and wrong. Until we recognize that fact (and return to teaching the same) we will continue to reap the results of a failed and immoral educational system. For those of you who disagree, tell me that we are better off with the moral relativism that now pervades our schools and society.

- This guy is a very dangerous nutbar. I guess this is the sort of thing you can expect when the weather girl is running the show. This is a very sad day for CBS and more importantly for the USA.

- I wish CBS would excise the "free speech" segment from their news programming. We need more facts and less opinion from the media. Incendiary and accusing content (from anyone) does not serve the public interest.

- Dear Ms. Couric,
Your free speech essay was inappropriate to put on the air as the %u201Canswer%u201D to a horrific crime against Amish children.
Perhaps in the future we%u2019ll know that the killer was badly educated and no one told him the difference between right and wrong. Perhaps we%u2019ll learn that he was afflicted by a misbegotten abortion. Perhaps there will be proof of some of the things the speaker declared to be the reason for this awful crime.
Until then, I think my answer is better: We let anyone have any number of guns. We killed public programs on mental health back in the Reagan administration. In this case we have a man with serious mental illness and a bunch of guns, and the resulting crime stems from those aspects of our kamikaze society. This is where I see blame for this crime. I think my answer is better than the agenda of a father whose grief must be immense. Shame on you for letting him say these things. What could abortion possibly have to do with murdering young girls.
I%u2019ve given up on NBC for its coddling of Mel Gibson and Ann Coulter. I%u2019ve given up on ABC for its mangling of Iraq War history. You%u2019re next. We%u2019re waiting over here in the real world for some intelligent news broadcasts. - Reply to this comment

- Mr. Rohrbough is so very right. It is a sad day when we can't send our children to school without having to worry about something like Columbine or today's tragedy occuring.
We teach nobody gets a failing grade - everyone does well - no reward for doing good - no punishment for doing bad - we all need to wake up. There is a right or wrong. My prayers are with Mr. Rohrbough and all the families effected by this horrible event. PJH - Reply to this comment
- I found his statements to be offensive. He implies that people who believe in proven fact over dogma are somehow morally inferior. Religion is a personal choice and has no place in the schools or the government.
