Facebook Photos Land Eden Prairie Kids in Trouble

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.

Hah.

"I'd just like to know what all those administrators are doing cruising Facebook pages looking at the students in their school."

Looking for delectable jailbait, of course.

Won't somebody think of the children?

Er, wait ...

Yeah

Sure makes you wonder, doesn't it.

[Anonymous Coward]

Yes Helen, they ARE thinking of the children.

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

Is your wife "Mrs. Coward?" I thought she taught one of my classes.

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

Yeh, maybe they just want a little "Prairie Home Companion(ship)"...

Re:Don't they have anything better to do?

[HTH NE1]

Kids have no privacy.

None whatsoever?

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

"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!

It's quite a good school. I still can't stand the taste of a whole lot of hard liquors (including Whisky and Whiskey).

Of course, getting drunk is much less a problem than to get shot. That's why you can't go to the army unless you're 18, but are allowed to drink at age 16.

You don't want to be drunk when you're voting. I'm still convinced that's how bush got elected.

Drinking vs. Voting

[Descalzo]

The US has a very unhealthy attitude towards drinking - how can someone be trusted to vote, but not allowed to drink?

Mom, Dad, I've been watching the debates and reading the questionnaires and following the issues, and I think I'm going with Sam Adams over Heineken. See, the objectification of women in the Heineken commercials is something I want to avoid, and Sam Adams is made here in America. Plus I'm not entirely comfortable with the way they get their hops from Germany, because I don't know if there is union labor involved with German hops production. So this weekend when I get loaded and knock up my girlfriend then plaster a poor family walking across the street, I'm going to be loaded with Sam Adams.
