I'm pretty sure that should read phallus-shaped lollipop... - DevinWatson, on 11/03/2009, -3/+193Good, I hope they win...
I always felt that my high school was a constitution free zone, they'd search your car, locker, and backpack without your permission. We had several instances where the schools administrators went on Facebook and found students upcoming parties and reported them to the police... - xero69, on 11/03/2009, -2/+173"The lawsuit claims that the girls, who in no way identified themselves in the pictures as students of Churubusco High School, then posted the pictures on their MySpace pages to share with their friends."
I completely agree with the ACLU. As punishment the principal should have to attend similar counseling so he can learn how to draw the line between activities inside and outside of school. - maurovz, on 11/03/2009, -2/+164Who the hell still uses MySpace
- gankige, on 11/03/2009, -1/+148The personal lives of students is NONE of the school's business unless it directly affects the institution. I can understand taking certain measures IN school for the safety of students, but this is just ridiculous. And unfair.
- pwarnock, on 11/02/2009, -1/+121This reminds me of a situation that went down at CSUF. A stripper got kicked off the track team when she got caught stripping at a club that the baseball team was attending.
- Jaffi, on 11/03/2009, -3/+117That reminds me of the time my girlfriend dumped me after she caught me jacking off to a scene from Brokeback Mountain.
- Solkre, on 11/03/2009, -1/+64School admins, apparently.
- DangerousP, on 11/03/2009, -5/+62Pictures or it didn't happen!
[Edit]
Wait...That's terrible. God, I have been on Digg for way too long. SMH at myself. - sgerwel1985, on 11/03/2009, -2/+50Schools need to get off their high-horse and realize they are only there to educate our youth, and they just barely do a "good job" at that... They should carry no authority for anything off school property.
- ygugsa295, on 11/03/2009, -2/+48In 2005, at the University of Western Ontario (in Canada, natch), a girl was photographed giving a striptease to some guys and got off the hook. The administration was all like "we don't want to be moral police."
I love this country. - mhuggins, on 11/03/2009, -0/+44WHAT A BITCH, you don't need her.
- Lonandubh, on 11/03/2009, -0/+37what do you mean? A lot of guys have penises shaped like a lolly pop.
- Gonthim, on 11/03/2009, -0/+37Saying you 'represent the school' every second of your life simply because you go there is stupid. There has to be a line somewhere. If you really feel that the school should get to dictate what the kids can and can not do 24 hours a day during the years they spend there then why do the kids have parents? We might as well take them away at 5 and boarding school them until 18.
- ThanatosST, on 11/03/2009, -4/+38Coupled with the fact that you're required to go by law... it just doesn't seem right to me.
- r1y23, on 11/03/2009, -8/+42Its all those damn contraceptions and *****...these kids just need some good ol' fashioned jesus in their lives. Abstinence is key! Or let them burn in hell for their sins.
/religion - Gonthim, on 11/03/2009, -0/+32School is required in most states until a certain age isn't it? If it's involuntary are you really consenting?
- jgzman, on 11/03/2009, -0/+30*****. I do not represent my place of employment when I take off my shirt. I am willing to grant a few exceptions to this: the military, and jobs where your face is your product. (newspeople, PR groups, etc)
If I crunch numbers for some company before, and drunk pictures of me show up on the internet, that is irrelevent to my job. Now, if pix of me committing account fraud (don't ask, I don't know what it would look like) showed up, that would be different.
Let me be clear: My off-time is my off-time. - Jaffi, on 11/03/2009, -3/+30I told her I was only curious. I mean honestly, who hasn't dreamt of a gay Donnie Darko.
Anyway it doesn't matter, she's dating my sister now. - AiR1890, on 11/03/2009, -0/+27I wish we could get some of that talk in America, I was watching a movie on some cable channel, a horror flick, people get cut up, you see everything, when some boobs show up, there blurred, that is way too much for people!
- tgc1, on 11/03/2009, -0/+24***** sakes. What ever happened to... what is their job again? Teaching? How about they just stick with that and keep their ***** noses out of the kids personal lives? If I found out my kids teacher was snooping around for him/her on the internet i'd be wondering just what the ***** he/she thought they were doing.
- publiclurker, on 11/03/2009, -1/+24Obscene? Why, because they are not wearing burkas?
- ygrrt, on 11/03/2009, -0/+22Wait, so why was the school staff looking at their 'sexy' myspace pictures?
- Barackalypse, on 11/03/2009, -1/+23They're doing a miserable job educating the youth, which is probably partly because they seem to think its their mission to protect the youth (from themselves).
- AFCdtLoeb, on 11/03/2009, -0/+21That image cannot be unseen in my mind!
- NasserInASaucer, on 11/03/2009, -0/+19The problem I have with this is that the pictures were on a private profile, which means someone had to print them and show them to the administrators. These weren't pictures they posted in public.
In high school, our athletic teams made us sign these conduct waivers that including things like fighting, drinking, drugs, and getting arrested. Not acting sexual. They're in high school. This is normal and healthy behavior for their age. They shouldn't be punished.
Someone needs to check the principal's file cabinet to be sure he's not keeping a few copies for his lunch break. - Gonthim, on 11/03/2009, -1/+19So parents usually work. How does that abdicate them of being parents? They created the child, it is their responsibility to raise in any way they see fit unless it is harming the child.
If you allow schools to dictate all the behavior, you've completely given responsibility for raising the children over to the schools. There are a lot of people who HATE the idea that the government should dictate behavior this way. We believe school is strictly for educating. While the child is there, yes, the school gets to set a certain standard of behavior so that the educational process is not disrupted. Once the student leaves the premises and the school is not responsible for them, for what reason does the school get to dictate behavior? If the school does get to dictate behavior, is it then the schools fault if the student breaks car windows, or becomes a thief? Where does their responsibility begin and end? - alpha88, on 11/03/2009, -0/+18Far more people are registered on myspace, but 99.8% of the accounts are inactive.
- mhuggins, on 11/03/2009, -2/+20Seriously, where all the pics at.
- PopcornDave, on 11/03/2009, -1/+18Apparently anyone trolling for suggestive pictures of 11 year olds.
- SwordAngel, on 11/03/2009, -1/+17Meh. I'm sure many guys (myself included) have been thinking the same thing.
Pictures or it didn't happen! - DevinWatson, on 11/03/2009, -1/+16I was 18/19 for a good part of my high school career...
- mearom, on 11/03/2009, -0/+15Finally some pics, I remember when this story was on the front page without any.
- elliotys, on 11/03/2009, -1/+16This principal is suffering from lollypop envy.
- Gonthim, on 11/03/2009, -0/+14They were. Someone with access copied the pictures and showed them to the administration.
- pilot3033, on 11/03/2009, -1/+14The "obscenity" exception in first amendment rulings is very much open to wide interpretation. It can be easily argued that these pictures were made has a humor piece or other form of artistic or creative expression. Courts have long been ruling that things like curse words and sexy pictures are protected by free speech/free expression.
- Travelsonic, on 11/03/2009, -0/+13"But by going to school, you consented to the rules."
Which have to follow the laws of the country they operate in, ESPECIALLY if funded by taxpayers and the state. - 1x253, on 11/03/2009, -2/+15what a bunch of wussy tools, rockytop and watermelon. You guys just lay down and let your superiors walk all over you? What pussies. Seriously, guys, get a *****' back bone. Not everyone in this world doesn't put up a fight. A lot of people do and they WIN, you loser dorks.
Actually, you know what? Forget what I said! You're right; you can't fight back. Just take what they're giving and buy what they're selling. You're right, you just can't win and your off time belongs to them ALSO. I apologize for being so wrong.
Good luck with gaining the respect of your children and women, you pragmatists you! - NorthMass, on 11/03/2009, -4/+16Who said the 4th amendment applied in schools?
/s - courbple, on 11/03/2009, -0/+12http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinker_v._Des_Moines_ ...
- Lonandubh, on 11/03/2009, -0/+12Where did it say they weren't? Did i miss that in the article, where it said that the anonymous snitch found these on public profiles?
- sobe4u8k, on 11/03/2009, -1/+13And tank you for shoeing hte wolrd you cant spelll.
- Barackalypse, on 11/03/2009, -1/+13Yet oddly, its the public schools acting like a bunch of uppity Jesus freaks in these cases. Funny that.
- skin, on 11/03/2009, -1/+12They will not win this. With most schools' athletic policies students agree to the belief that athletes are held to higher standards and can't do anything, whether in school our out, that would diminish their standing as a role model to other students. I don't buy the whole thing about high school athletes necessarily having to be role models to other students, but it is the policy these kids agreed to.
- lakerslive2004, on 11/03/2009, -0/+10"Pics or it didn't happen" finally worked!
- Rastaman108037, on 11/03/2009, -0/+10When I was 18, they still forced me to get parental consent for stupid ***** like R rated movies. Even talked to the principal.
In short, High school is a waste of time anyway. Who gives a damn? - johndi, on 11/03/2009, -1/+10There are big differences. There are laws requiring children to go to school, but you don't *have* to get a job. Children are told they will follow the rules at school or are coerced into doing agreeing to them. They aren't given any choice and do not agree to follow them. Changing schools because you don't like the rules isn't really an option because children usually can't choose what school they go to.
They set their privacy settings so it's not like they threw the pictures out in the open. They were incredibly naive to think that no one in Puritan America would dry snitch on them, but they didn't intend for these pictures to be public. It's also less likely for that type of snitching to happen at work. - mouseshoes, on 11/03/2009, -1/+10Those are considered racy? Girls in the South dress like that all the time.
- sgerwel1985, on 11/03/2009, -0/+9What in the sam hell are you trying to say? Are you saying that student athletes should be held to a different standard than the other student body? If so, i can't say i entirely agree. You are still depriving these student athletes to engage in other activities that allow them to grow and mature.
Then you have the flip side of it, where these student athletes get these "free passes" when it comes to in school activities (educational and not). This is just another can of works i doubt you want to open. - Barackalypse, on 11/03/2009, -5/+14Why does it seem like these things always happen in public schools, even factoring in the 500-600% more students they have enrolled than private schools? Based on reading Digg, one would assume this would only happen at all the uptight bigoted Jesus freak schools, yet here again you see another Government institution that thinks it ought to have a say in your freedom of expression.
