You'd think so, wouldn't you? It's a little scary how naive kids can be, for all their aspirations to sophistication (and their spending power). But those were clear statements of intent. The teacher got axed for a joke party photo on her MySpace page in which she was wearing a pirate's hat and holding a glass of something (not clear what). In the caption she'd lightheartedly written "drunken pirate". (Do the authorities KNOW the meaning of a joke?) The consequence this has had does sound awfully freedom-restricting. Even if it's only a lone case, I think it should not be able to happen. Getting intimidated into making literal statements only - what's next, Newspeak?
