People should be punished for them.

perhaps, but most "death threats" are only made because of the anonymity of internet communication, with little to no actual intent behind them. how do you propose to punish some 11 year old canadian for typing a death threat to a 24 vietnamese woman playing the same video game? the fact of the matter is that receiving a death threat online means almost nothing because it's a throwaway statement. they only exist because of how internet communication works.

id also be willing to bet that if the situations were reversed and a teacher resigned because of outrage over telling students to reverse clinton apparel, you'd be awfully silent.
