- LordPhantom, on 10/12/2007, -6/+487The smoking gun (also submitted to digg) has the photo. She should sue them into oblivion over this. Sheesh.

- Hentez, on 10/12/2007, -7/+336A drunken pirate ruins another life, when will we learn?
- ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -3/+327How can they even know that there was alcohol in the cup? ***** that anyway. Even if she had bottle of tequila between her *****, it has nothing to do with them.
- lazyeyesam, on 10/12/2007, -8/+313Don't sue them - make them walk the plank!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -19/+265I am in ur space, killing ur teaching degreez
- fael, on 10/12/2007, -3/+201it's just the punishment for being in myspace
- oesj, on 10/12/2007, -10/+201i am appalled by this anti-pastafarianism
- JavertHolmes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+163Other things she promotes in the photo:
Teaching kids that it's OK to use oil in excess by drinking from a plastic cup.
Promoting tooth decay and diabetes by advertising Mr. Goodbar.
Making kids think it's hip and cool to be a pirate when being a pirate is a one-way ticket to prison.
Teaching kids that red-eyes in a photograph is acceptable, lowering the future photography standards in the country.
The poster in the back says "beaste--" likely meaning it was created by an illiterate promoting bestiality. Likely a man and an elephant copulating on the adjacent skyscraper just out of frame.
The middle finger holding the cup is the most prominent in the photo, likely a subliminal attempt to flip the bird at anyone who views the photo.
There are crossed sabers in the background, likely a call for children of the world to duel each other with sabers.
Frankly, I am outraged. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+152I didn't know you could be denied a degree if you go through the 4 years to earn it-- unless you did something that was related to the degree itself (cheating or something)...
And who said myspace was for underaged kids? I think Myspace is ***** stupid, it ruins lives more and more every day, but the school can't say she is promoting it unless there was a picture of her with a bunch of like, 8th graders getting drunk.
Oh yeah, and our leading politicians--the most important people in this world today--don't do anything bad, they don't drink alcohol, they don't have sex, there is never controversy about them, they are like angels...
That University is *****. - kenvsryu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+124Drunken Pirate Teacharrrr!
- ThatGeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+119That is *****. She was 25 at the time, and suddenly 25 year olds aren't allowed to drink? That is assuming there was alcohol in that cup.
- guyinjapan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+117And this is why kids are stuck with boring ass teachers these days...
- adolfojp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+109Jennica said: "I don't have to worry about stupid ***** like this. I don't have a myspace."
--------
First they came for the Myspacers, and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Myspacer.
...
Then they came for the Diggers, and by that time there was no one left
to speak up for me. - guyinjapan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+100"In fact at my University consuming alcohol at any time (even during the summer - though no one followed this part) was grounds for immediate expulsion if the administration deemed it necessary."
You went to one boring ass university. - skyer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+91How does that promote underage drinking? Anyone?
- contradictator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+87You misspelled "pirate".
- faskippy, on 10/12/2007, -15/+97T H A N.
- Ouze, on 10/12/2007, -7/+87On the plus side, her potential students learned 2 valuable lessons at once: A.) Myspace is often more trouble then it's worth, and B.) People in authority will ***** with you to make themselves feel better, if the opportunity presents itself.
- archlich, on 10/12/2007, -15/+95The university just doesn't want to accept that she has been touched by his noodly appendage.
- DRINKxREDxBULL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+78OMG I hear she also has a drivers license!!
She needs to be sued for promoting underage driving!! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+79Millersville University, have you guys been paying your attorneys lots of money all this time? Time to see if they're worth it, *****. Time to suffer a little.
- eclectro, on 10/12/2007, -5/+76If it was a pic of a drunken ninja we would have never heard of it and nobody would have cared.
- Ductapemaster, on 10/12/2007, -6/+73Gahhh....Sunday mornig grammar nazis!!!
- TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -4/+60*morning
- faskippy, on 10/12/2007, -25/+79"I totally agree with you, but how eff'n hard is it to set your profile to private? Common sense would tell you that if you are (or getting ready to be) a teacher (or any other professional) you should think about how you are representing on the internets."
Uh, representing what? Barbara Bush, is that you? - joncarr, on 10/12/2007, -20/+72> Even if she had bottle of tequila between her *****, it has nothing to do with them.
Ahh, how ironic that we're talking about education, and we see a classic misuse of pronouns. Of course a bottle of tequila would have nothing to do with her *****. :)
Sorry, I couldn't resist. - Flon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+49Teachers are not allowed lives apparently.
- meez, on 10/12/2007, -5/+49This is madness.
- Revovisionary, on 10/12/2007, -1/+44There is an example right there of why our education system is failing. They do there damnedest to fillter out all the cool teachers.
- rasputinaxp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37@bigtallmofo
I thought you said you read the whole complaint?
That was her March performance review. In April she was noted to have improved in all aspects, and the issue with her "professionalism" and the pirate photo didn't crop up until May 8th, according to her complaint. This was the Monday of Senior Week (as graduation was the 12th).
There's something very wrong about a university that would decide to withhold the degree somebody had rightfully earned because of a photo that proves nothing conclusive. - trylleklovn, on 10/12/2007, -9/+44Now i have to go find some pr0n. What a disappointing story.
- inactive, on 11/06/2007, -13/+48MADNESS? THIS IS SPARTA!
- NekoAmplifier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33I'm a student at Millersville. They really are as lame as the article makes them sound.
- tdowling, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30Well yeah, she's 27 now, but the picture was taken two years ago. Certainly the, uh, math speaks for itself.
- skyfire1, on 10/12/2007, -12/+41***** THE RIAA!
- Timmmm, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33It must suck to have 21 as the legal drinking age. Wouldn't even remotely be an issue in most countries...
- Kallius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27"Jane S. Bray, dean of the School of Education, accused Snyder of promoting underage drinking."
The only logical explanation is that Bray is a ninja; ninjas are pirates' only natural enemies. - Qumahlin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Yes, it is policy at my job for the HR recruiter to search myspace for the individual which is why if you do have a myspace account you want to do the following
1. Do not register it under an email address you have given to others
2. Do not use your name as your profile name
3. Do not join your high school or college group unless the main photo you have of yourself is something non obvious
4. Make sure you profile is set to private
Follow those rules and HR won't be able to find or look at your profile without alot of digging which most companies won't do. - zebstah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26"Was boring as hell but A) I have alcoholism in my family and B) I did well enough now that people pay me to go to school and I have a couple 75k a year jobs lined up just 2 years out of University"
Neither of which have anything to do with a draconian drinking policy. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+31CAKETOWN!
- blankman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21She will definitely win in court. This is a very clear-cut case. You can't withhold a degree that someone has earned by completing every requirement because you don't like a picture they have. I doubt one of the requirements for a teaching degree is "no myspace photos that show you doing something 99% of kids do anyway".
- blankman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21its not being denied a job, its being denied a degree
- afx1, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25With all the bad publicity drunken pirates have been getting lately, who can blame them for denying her?
- seanc6610, on 10/12/2007, -7/+27@joncarr
I'm nearly positive that "them" refers to "they" in the previous sentence, which refers to the unseen antecedent of the university administration. Dick. - bluechips23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20WTF? Kids love pirates, especially the female ones! She would have been one of the favorite teachers!
- chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -13/+32Naked people have no place on the internet. Lets top it now before it gets out of control.
- echud, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22Thats *****. I guess somebody should have tried dressing up as a drunken ninja instead.
- Alimack, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21That's Vikings. Pirates just pirate.
- Corinthos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18WTF I hope she wins.
Anyways when I was in high school about 6 years ago we had a a teacher's assistant who was a bartender at night. A year after I left he ended up getting a regular teaching position and still has the job at the bar too. Everyone knew because he was also a DJ at that bar some nights and his name would be said on the radio. Don't think anyone cared or if they did then nothing came about it. -
