Teachers diciplined for Facebook postings
In the article Teachers disciplined for Facebook posting by Ann Doss Helms from http://www.charlotteobserver.com/ states teachers from Charlotte-Mecklenbur Schools are being suspended for posting on her Facebook website:
"teaching chitlins in the ghetto of Charlotte" and drinking as her one of her hobbies.
The Superintendent's decision to hire her is not final because teachers have a right to appeal.
This is a very common accurance occuring across the country, but what I don't understand is why haven't these teachers made their webpages private and picked the option of blocking public viewing. We have very little privacy left within this new era of the digital world and the little privacy we can control, we don't use it, is just doesn't make sense to me!
