Social Networking Revisited

I recently heard on the news that a High School teacher was forced to resign after some pictures on her Facebook page were brought to the attention of her principal. I know we've already covered the social networking pros and cons, but I thought this might generate some discussion.

The teacher had her page set to private, and the pictures only showed her holding drinks, not actually drinking them. The teacher defended herself saying, "I don't look like I'm intoxicated in any way or doing anything provocative or inappropriate". The photos were taken on her European vacation, and she claims she was just acting like any normal adult would.

Her Facebook page is set to private, and she does not friend students or strangers on it. Do you think she should be allowed to keep her job?

Also, should students Facebook or Myspace pages be open to employers as an evaluation tool? What about blogs or personal web sites?
