Teacher Investigated For Mocking Student's Hairdo On Facebook

An anonymous reader writes "A Chicago computer teacher at Overton Elementary School is accused of showing poor judgment for posting photos of student Ukailya Loftonon on her Facebook page, leading to the child being mocked for her hairdo on picture day. Lucinda Williams says her daughter saw a picture of a model wearing Jolly Ranchers at the end of her braids (the candies were attached with elastic bands) in a hair salon magazine and begged her mother to give her the hairstyle." I hope the people of Walmart never find out about People of Walmart. The justice system will grind to a halt.

So all the teacher said

"RIGHT, this is for pictures day." ? Why even post the picture for picture's day on facebook? But other then that... And what would the mother in this story recommend, how they should punish the teacher, apology wasn't enough. Whiplashes? Maybe fire him/her? Perhaps some money?

How come..

..so many people post stuff on facebook without thinking? You have to be aware of who is in your friend list.. and theres a really good chance that someone on your friend list knows someone else that you know..

If you're on facebook, you've already shown you aren't thinking.
