School Teacher Loses Job Over Facebook Photos
A Georgia school teacher lost her job over Facebook photos of her holding an alcoholic drink during a European vacation. A parent supposedly complained and she was forced out. Now, she is suing for damages. The district judge granted summary judgment to the employer. See Atalanta Journal-Constitution report.
The school teacher, Ashley Payne, claims someone claiming to be a parent sent an email regarding the Facebook photos. Ms. Payne says there is no evidence the sender was truly a parent. She claims she was denied the right to a hearing prior to her forced resignation.
