Facebook Faces Loss of Face [a guest post]

Pearl, Miss., August 29, 2009 (INS). Mandi Jackson, a Pearl cheerleader, has sued the local school district after her coach allegedly forced her to turn over her Facebook log-in information. The coach then shared Ms. Jackson’s personal messages with the cheerleading staff and school administrators.

A search of Ms. Jackson’s personal messages revealed her to be showing her dirty underwear on the Net. Not only are her messages laced with profanity but they depict her cheerleading coach and rivals to be dimwitted even by Pearl, Miss., standards.

Clarence “Fob” Witherspoon, Mississippi commissioner of education, warned students and their parents to use caution on Facebook. “We are not as faceless as we might seem on Facebook, and when faced with rebellious students, us educators will face up to our responsibilities and out their personal messages—at least as long as the Patriot Act permits it.”
