Romney calls girl mocked by teacher PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney paid a phone call to a Philadelphia high school student who said a teacher mocked her for wearing a Romney-Ryan t-shirt. Romney's campaign did not release a formal statement about the call, but The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the girl, Samantha Pawlucy, spoke to the candidate. Neither offered details about the conversation. Pawlucy, 16, made headlines last week when she said her geometry teacher, Lynette Gaymon, mocked her in front of the class for wearing the t-shirt. Pawlucy has withdrawn from the school and school officials suspended Gaymon pending an investigation into her conduct, the newspaper reported Thursday.
