You Gotta Be Shitting Me.

Apparently having a photo of yourself training a rifle on a camera posted to your Facebook page is grounds for suspension. School Administrators at Beaver Dam School District in Wisconsin placed teacher Betsy Ramsdale on administrative leave after receiving a complaint about a photo of her holding a rifle on her Facebook page.
This is ridiculous, I hope she sues the school district for discrimination. This country is going to hell in a handbasket.

To deter employers from viewing social networking pages, employees might post on their pages legal terms of service under which employers agree to scram. This idea should not be taken as legal advice for any particular situation, just a topic for public discussion.

Ben, very interesting. Not quite where I was going, but I get it. My fiance is going to be a teacher, and she has decided not to have a social networking page just to CYA.
I was more concerned with the lack of respect for freedom of speech, and an apparent denying of the Second Amendment.
I don’t know whether to keep Benjamin’s comment here, or mark it as spam. It seems relative, but it also seems fishy, like spam!
