Missouri Law Says Students, Teachers Can't Be Facebook Friends

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the behind-the-times dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Teachers can be friendly with their students, but they can't be their friends, at least when it comes to social networks such as Facebook. State Governor Jay Nixon has signed Senate Bill 54, which goes into effect on August 28, 2011 in the state of Missouri. In other words, later this month it will be illegal for students and teachers to be friends online."

    Wow, that place has changed a lot since I was there. Back in my day, we didn't even have clothes. Just ran around naked and illiterate all day.

      They still do. They just make facebook posts about it now.

    Obviously you'd have to give the child up for adoption.
