Facebook Photos Land Eden Prairie Kids in Trouble

Posted by timothy on from the when-thought-police-enforce-drinking-age-laws dept.

slim-t writes "The Star Tribune is reporting that students have been disciplined for photos of them on Facebook. 'Eden Prairie High School administrators have reprimanded more than 100 students and suspended some from sports and other extracurricular activities after obtaining Facebook photos of students partying, several students said Tuesday.' Is the school right to do this? My opinion is that the students should know not to post pictures of yourself breaking the law." I'd just like to know what all those administrators are doing cruising Facebook pages looking at the students in their school.

      Masturbating, of course. The internet means you don't have to wait for the goddamn yearbook any more!

      "I guess because I am a teacher and my kids have added me on facebook and I've looked at a few of their photo galleries, then I must be a pedophile."

      No, but it certainly helps!

      Yes Helen, they ARE thinking of the children.

      WHAT they're thinking of the children, though, you probably don't want to know.

    Kids have no privacy. None whatsoever?

    Note to administration: warrantless-wiretap the children to get the dirt on their parents.
