Privacy Bingo

By esme_design -
This is a recent story about a young Georgia teacher, Ashley Payne, who was fired over what was on her Facebook account, even though it was her personal account with the permissions set to the highest priority level to prevent public viewing. She is now in the process of suing the school district for reinstatement to her position at Apalachee High School in Winder, GA. The offense seems to center around a photo of the teacher on vacation with an alcoholic drink in her hand and a comment that she was about to go out and play a game called "Crazy B___ Bingo". The photo and comment were copied and forwarded to the Barrow County superintendent by a parent. Clearly this incident reflects the value system of the administration, because the cited "offensive" content would be perceived quite differently in another locale.

Presentation Discussion

By Matt -
I figured we'd want to start a discussion for when to do our presentations. I figured we could start Friday during normal class hours and then finish up around 2. I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.
